Domes Resorts has entered an agreement with Goldman Sachs to acquire a majority share in Casa Collective, which operates the Cook’s Club, Casa Cook, and XIA brands.
Domes Resorts has reached an agreement with Goldman Sachs to acquire Casa Collective, the platform behind the Cook’s Club, Casa Cook, and XIA hospitality brands. Hospitality entrepreneur Remo Masala will become a shareholder and serve as strategic partner and creative lead for the platform. Casa Collective currently operates 13 hotels across various destinations.
Following the acquisition, four additional properties are expected to join Casa Collective’s portfolio, with a broader pipeline of potential projects under evaluation. The partnership is intended to support further expansion through franchise, management, and strategic development collaborations in leisure destinations and gateway cities worldwide.
Casa Collective will continue to operate as an independent entity, maintaining current franchise agreements, brand teams, and operating structures. The platform will continue to collaborate with hotel owners through franchise, management, development, and co-investment models. Partners are expected to benefit from international distribution, marketing, development, and financing opportunities, as well as operational and brand development support.
The Casa Collective brand portfolio includes Cook’s Club, a social hospitality concept; Casa Cook, a minimalist boutique concept; and XIA, a newly developed family-oriented experiential hospitality concept.
Remo Masala, who developed Cook’s Club and Casa Cook and founded the Berlin-based tourism innovation and brand studio Vision Alphabet, will remain involved in the platform as a shareholder and creative partner. He also developed XIA, which joins the portfolio as the latest brand.
The transaction is intended to enable Casa Collective to expand internationally, with Domes Resorts providing operational expertise and development capabilities. The group will also consider incorporating strategic partners to support growth through targeted property acquisitions.
