Trends We’re Riding
-
Our executive team has been building immersive art experiences since 2000, including consulting for the award-winning Sleep No More.
We predict that Immersive Art will become the new standard for experiencing art. We just happen to have a 20-year head start.
-
Between social media and online dating, we’ve created a generation obsesses with getting themselves in the picture.
We’d like to be one of the first projects to compensate Artists fairly for creating epic selfie environments.
-
Theme Hotels have been around for a while but even Disney doesn’t do them right. We plan to go way beyond the generic themes that you’ve seen before like the romance suite or jungle suite. Our Artists will create an immersive experience that would make Walt jealous.
-
Music and art festivals were the fastest growing events before the pandemic. For private groups we can offer an art festival experience for up to 100 guests.
-
Colorado was the first state to make cannabis available without a prescription in 2014. Denver was the first city to decriminalize magic mushrooms by a citizen vote in 2019.
We believe Colorado will continue to be a destination for folks who want to experience alternative states. A psychedelic conference has already booked 80% of the hotel rooms in Denver for their 2023 conference.
-
Earned media tends to be many times more effective than paid media (advertising). We’ve developed over a dozen story angels for launch. Here are a few stories we’re working with…

Our Executive Team is responsible for some of the early reality TV and social media trends. Previously, a Resort would have had to spend big money on traditional advertising. Today, we can affordably produce our own streaming show and partner with YouTube influencers to find new customers.

Jazmin Hupp
Founder & CEO
Read About Jazmin Hupp In…
Jazmin Hupp is a connection artist. She was named a “genius entrepreneur” by Fortune Magazine and Forbes considers her one of the “top businesswomen”.
In 2014, Jazmin co-founded Women Grow with Jane West in Denver. As CEO, Jazmin led Women Grow to connect 75,000 female entrepreneurs in 60 cities and earn 6 billion media impressions. In 2018, Jazmin exited to a more diverse leadership team led by Dr. Chanda Marcias.
Ms. Hupp was inspired by her family’s history as the first hoteliers in Estes Park, Colorado. In 1908, Josephine Hupp opened the Hupp Hotel and went on to become the most successful businesswoman in Estes Park. Jazmin’s new project, Hotel Party, combines her family’s hospitality legacy with the future of immersive art.
Jazmin’s high school job was as a stage manager for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. After moving to New York City, she founded her first company, an adorable web development agency called Jazzed Designs. She went on to work for Apple, Tekserve, and Women 2.0. Jazmin graduated from the State University of New York with a degree in Business, Management & Economics. She is also a yoga teacher and chef, who leads meditation retreats with 5 to 1,500 attendees.
Jazmin Hupp is the descendent of Josephine Hupp, who built Estes Park’s first hotel in 1908.
From James H. Pickering, Estes Historian Laureate
Of all of Estes Park's pioneer businesswomen, none was more successful than Josephine Hupp (1857-1932), who during her lifetime owned and managed four of Estes Park's downtown hotels and a popular cafe, and still found time (between 1907 and 1914) to serve as Estes Park's postmistress. Born in Michigan, Josie came to Loveland in 1878. She met and in 1893 married Henry Hupp, son of pioneers John and Eliza Hupp who had come to Estes Park in 1875 to ranch and farm what is now Upper Beaver Meadows.
With the platting of the Estes Park in 1905, the enterprising Josie, with Henry's help, entered the hotel business, beginning in 1906 with the construction of Estes Park's first downtown hotel, the Hupp, at the corner of Elkhorn and Moraine. In 1919 she completed the Josephine Hotel further down Elkhorn. She would also purchase and manage the Manford Hotel and the Sherwood Hotel, earning for herself a place in Estes Park history unlikely to be duplicated.
Mylee Blake Faigin
Founder & Chief Creative Officer
Mylee Blake has produced immersive art and film for 26 years in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. She started as the youngest Vice President in Dave & Buster’s history, continued on to coordinate over $1B in productions, and is now ready to settle down to make magic in the mountains.
Mylee Blake produced and wrote the pilot season of Impractical Jokers, a genre-breaking hidden camera show. She consulted for the immersive version of MacBeth, called Sleep No More. Before any of us had heard of VJs, Mylee was on tour designing projections for raves of up to 5,000 attendees. She landed in the San Francisco Bay Area and became an Open World Director for the underground immersive theater scene.
Mylee Blake led the restoration and reopening of The Palace Theatre in east Oakland. Mylee was responsible for balancing the needs of local gangs with party goers. She experimented with new immersive formats and standardized the ethics of creating false realities for transformation.
After the pandemic shut down all immersive projects, Mylee was drawn to the Rocky Mountains with her partner, Jazmin Hupp. Drawing on Jazmin’s family legacy as Colorado hoteliers since 1908 and Mylee’s immersive artist network, they are creating a new Resort. Code name ‘Hotel Party,’ the resort will feature 27 suites designed by 27 immersive artists.

Centrally located, Colorado is a quick flight for most Americans. Denver International Airport is the 3rd busiest airport in the US with direct flights from 211 international cities.
We chose a location 90-minutes from Denver because we wanted people to be able to travel to us quickly.
Colorado features four strong seasons of tourism with robust infrastructure for year-round travel. There were 30.8M overnight trips to Colorado in 2020 (even during the pandemic).

Small outdoor-focused resorts, like this one, were some of the only lodging properties to increase their sales during the pandemic. We are confident we can continue to operate a safe experience for guests and staff. Some of the our favorite features are:
Instead of having to wear a mask in shared hallways or elevators, this Resort features all outdoor hallways with reserved adjacent parking.
With seven buildings we can maintain social distancing between groups naturally. Groups of any size can book adjoining rooms or an entire building.
We have a community hot tub as well as 12 private hot tubs in individual Suites. Guests can easily reserve a private bathing experience.
All Suites have a kitchen or kitchenette with BBQ. Guests won’t be sharing kitchens or bathrooms.
We plan to offer “skip the front desk” service for a contactless stay.
