Certi Resorts is an international luxury hospitality conglomerate based in Venceia, Caphiria. Established in 1971, it boasts a broad portfolio that includes over 50 hotels, resorts, luxury trains, ships, and restaurants. Since 2016, Vescor Hospitality has been majority owner of the company.

Certi Resorts was founded in 1971 by patrician Costavio Certi. Its origins trace back to the acquisition and restoration of Hotel Bonn in Sethsport, Faneria, which had suffered extensive damage due to the Bonn Hotel Bombing in 1956. The renovated hotel, reopened in 1975, featured state-of-the-art amenities, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, Burgoignesc furnishings, and artworks from renowned artists. The success of this hotel paved the way for the company's rapid expansion across Levantia and Sarpedon. In 1997, the private corporate entity Juno acquired a minority stake in the company. During the 2000s, Certi Resorts was involved in a proxy war between Juno and Vescor - a rival luxury hotel company. In 2004, Vescor dropped its bid after was acquired by Petalstone Group in a $1.4 billion deal, allowing Juno to take a 49% stake in Certi Resorts in 2006. After Juno acquired the Petalstone Group in 2011, it established the Vescor Hospitality holding company and transferred its stake in Certi Resorts to the new entity, which fully purchased Certi Resorts for $3.2 billion in cash.

Currently, Certi Resorts operates 40 hotels and 12 resorts worldwide. While initially concentrated in Levantia, the brand's properties have spread across various continents, catering primarily to the luxury segment of the hospitality market. In 1999, the company launched its luxury train services. These trains traverse scenic routes, with journeys ranging from 2 to 7 nights. Complementing its hotel operations, Certi Resorts owns 14 fine-dining restaurants. While most are integrated within their hotels and resorts, several standalone outlets offer gourmet experiences across Sarpedon.
