Hostmanship™
by Urban Resort Concepts
At Urban Resort Concepts (URC), our return to the origins of luxury comes not only through our simplicity of design, our attention to detail and our commitment to craftsmanship.

We’ve long believed that running a luxury hotel is a craft, not merely a business. It’s why we’re making unprecedented changes to what it means to be a host in this industry.
Hostmanship is not an abstract notion but a combination of intuition, innovation and humanity. It’s an explorative and sensory journey that extends well beyond conventional luxury.
In the world of Hostmanship, our guests are welcomed into a culture where people come first and every experience is tailor-made.
At URC, we want your experience to be human, intuitive, inclusive, generous and engaging. This means having skillful, committed team members empowered to create an experience that’s uniquely yours. It’s putting an end to the petty charges and undue bureaucracy that don’t serve your needs.
