Elara, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Las Vegas

Dealing in timeshares, Hilton Grand Vacations Company, LLC develops, manages, markets, and operates a system of brand-name vacation club ownership resorts. Resort villas are jointly owned by members who have exclusive use of the properties for limited periods of time (also known as timeshares). Club members can also exchange their intervals for vacations at affiliated resorts worldwide. Various timeshare websites report timeshare owner critiques of the HGVC property experience.

History

A year after investing, HNA Group was in talks to sell some or all of its 25% share in Hilton Grand Vacations, a timeshare business which had spun off from Hilton Worldwide Holdings the year before.[2]

Hilton Grand Vacation announced its intention to acquire Diamond Resorts International on March 10, 2021[3] for $1.4 billion.[4][5] The acquisition was completed on August 2nd.[6][7]

Hilton Grand Vacation Club

The Hilton Grand Vacation Club (HGVC) is a timeshare-point-based reservations and exchange system allowing HGVC members leisure-travel opportunities. There are currently more than 300,000 HGVC members worldwide.[8] Club membership provides exclusive exchange, leisure-travel, and reservation services.

Right of First Refusal

HGVC retains the right of first refusal for most of its properties. When selling an HGVC account, each owner is required to submit their purchase agreement contract to Hilton. Hilton may decide to exercise ROFR to purchase the subject property, thus refusing the sale to the original buyer. Some of the properties without ROFR are HGVC at the Flamingo, The Bay Club at Waikoloa Beach Resort, and most affiliate resorts.
