A new subscription service charges a flat monthly rate for high-end lodging  For the price of a decent one-bedroom apartment in a major U.S. city, you could hop around the world from one luxury property to another. A new offering from travel company Inspirato called the Inspirato Pass grants members unlimited access to more than 60,000 properties worldwide for $2,500 a month, no nightly fees or taxes included.
It?s a lot of money, no doubt, but it?s a heckuva lot less than buying a night at these properties without the pass. Inspirato members can choose from five-star hotels and villas with concierge services including chateaus in Provence and high-end hotels in New York City.
Of course, the convenience comes with a catch. Members can only book a new property after they?ve checked out of the previous one. For significantly more money, members can hold two reservations at once ( $5,000 per month) or three reservations ($7,500 per month). The upside is that you can share memberships: It?s an additional $500 for a basic membership, $1,000 for a two-reservation membership, and $1,500 for a three-reservation membership to be able to share access with an approved list of people.
