Since MVC seems to be fully invested in the Pulse concept/brand, I thought it would be interesting to hear what other locations you would like to see added to the portfolio. Mine are
1. New Orleans 2. Seattle 3. Chicago and 4. Charleston SC. I would also love to see some European cities added. What are your thoughts?

I hope for London, Paris, Rome -- would be fantastic additions, but not sure what is possible. We will see -- and I like your U.S. additions.

Best,

Greg

I would probably choose warm, year round European cities on the coast, so Lisbon, Nice or Monaco, Dubrovnik or Split, Barcelona or Valencia...

I agree with Greg and Barry, Europe would be a great addition. Charleston would be nice too. We're getting access to Charleston through HGVC, but it's going to be a by Hilton Club location, meaning a limited reservation window. Would like a Pulse there since Pulse has no limitations on reservation window.

All good suggestions. Looking to the North I would add Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal.

Great question, jont.
I'd have to agree with your suggestion of New Orleans, Chicago, and Charleston (especially Charleston as the historic
district's Renaissance is OK but not great), AND also GregT's suggestion of London, Paris, Rome.

BTW, Charleston is consistently the USA's top tourist destination according to Conde Nast.

Regardless of what folks think of that designation, Charleston is indeed a busy city, a wonderful city, and it needs
something better than the Marriott Hotel and the Renaissance. (The downtown's Bella Grace boutique hotel is great, but small.)

I like the suggestions. Another possible location would be Monterey, CA and/or Santa Barbara. Hyatt has the Highlands Inn in the Carmel area, so if Hyatt is included in a layover program that would take care of the Monterey Peninsula.

Best regards.

HGVC, MVC Vistana
New MVC pulse properties would be nice, but IMHO the odds are low because MVC's attention and resources will be consumed for the foreseeable future on integrating Vistana, Hyatt and all the pieces of ILG including Aston.

If you want to visit new locations in the next few years, HGVC just opened Chicago on the Miracle Mile and is aggressively expanding to many new locations such as Cabo, Barbados and Japan. As @JIMinNC mentioned, HGVC has announced Charleston, SC and it will likely have good availability until it sells out. You could hedge both networks by picking up a resale HGVC or rent from an owner.

Although MVC will have a mind-blowing portfolio when all is done, HGVC is not encumbered by all of the issues of integrating IT, operations, and legacy points programs so it can be more agile with expansion plans.

European cities such as London are high on my list.
