ABOUT CPM TRAVEL
THE CPM TRAVEL STORY
​
Travel, Hospitality, and a Life Spent Seeking Exceptional Places
​
CPM Travel is the natural extension of a life built around hospitality and travel.
We are a husband-and-wife team, Claire and Andre, who have spent the past 13 years a running hospitality marketing company, working with over 280 restaurants, cafés, hotels and lifestyle brands. Hospitality isn’t just something we observe, it’s something we’ve lived and understood deeply for over a decade.
​
Travel has always been part of that journey.
Each year, we spend around four months exploring the world, from Mediterranean coastlines and European cities to Asian beach destinations and emerging global hotspots personally researching hotels, discovering experiences, and understanding what makes a property truly special.
​
We created CPM Travel to share the hotels , destinations and experiences that we genuinely love and can elevate bucket list experiences.
How We Travel And How We Curate
​
Luxury travel, to us, is about more than a hotel room.
It’s about arriving into a beautiful lobby and feeling the energy of the space.
It’s about sunset drinks at the perfect rooftop bar, walking through thoughtfully designed interiors, experiencing the restaurants, and understanding how a hotel lives and breathes within its destination.
Some of our favourite travel moments come from simply visiting the world’s best hotels even when we’re not staying there.
Because great hotels are destinations in themselves, and they elevate the entire travel experience. It’s a way to enjoy the luxury even without staying there, but enjoying the bars, restaurants and the whole experience.
​
Food is equally important. We plan our travels around discovering incredible restaurants, local food, beach clubs and unforgettable dining experiences because where you eat shapes how you experience a destination.
Now hotels have blended their dining and accommodation so seamlessly that the restaurant attached is just as important as the room and any of the other amenities.
​
Travel, for us, is about the complete lifestyle of a place.
Curated Luxury Hotels, Backed by Real Hospitality Experience
​
Our background in hospitality marketing gives us a unique perspective. We understand what defines true five-star experience from service and design to atmosphere and positioning and how it all fits together.
​
That’s why CPM Travel focuses exclusively on curated Top 10 hotel lists in luxury and exotic destinations.
​
We don’t aim to list everything.
We focus on the hotels worth knowing.
Every recommendation comes from real experience, industry insight, and a deep appreciation for exceptional hospitality.
Luxe for Less Our Smart Luxury Philosophy
​​​​​​​
While we love the world’s finest luxury hotels, we also believe the best travel experiences combine luxury with value. We understand that travel budgets aren’t always unlimited but many like us want to enjoy the luxury travel experience while still getting great value.
​
Through years of travel, we’ve discovered incredible hotels and experiences that deliver a true five-star feel and ture bucket list moments, beautiful design, outstanding locations, and exceptional service without the excessive price tag.
​
We call this “LUXE FOR LESS”
​
Within each of our Top 10 lists, we highlight one hotel that offers exceptional luxury and experience at outstanding value. These are often the hotels we personally love staying in most because they allow you to experience luxury while travelling longer and smarter.
​
Luxury should be memorable.
But it should also be intelligent.
