ARC Lobby

Every stay at ARC is one of a kind. Our bespoke digital concierge service - nicknamed ‘the Lobby’ - allows you to curate your stay with ease, tailoring it to your party’s needs.

Guests can plan as much or as little as they like, choosing from hundreds of services and activities, handpicked to ensure an unforgettable stay. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Browse the Lobby

Explore a wide range of activities and offerings unique to all ARC properties, carefully curated for our guests.

2. Choose from Three Categories

Food & Drink: With options from private chefs to pre-prepped meals, feeding your group has never been easier

Activities & Excursions: Stay in or go out, as guided as you like. Options range from full-trip itineraries to single workshops and classes.

Extras: While our ARCs are fitted with all the creature comforts of a luxury hotel, sometimes you need a little extra, like a late checkout or firewood.

3. Add To Your Stay

Mix and match activities and dining to create your custom itinerary, then let us do the rest. We'll coordinate all the logistics behind-the-scenes, so all you have to do is sit back and relax.
