Chapter is about storytelling

— the memories, emotions, and transformative moments that define each guest experience. It’s the narrative arc of a journey: where it begins, what’s discovered along the way, and how it’s remembered.

Compass is the direction

— the strategic insight, commercial acumen, and finely-tuned instinct that guide our partners toward meaningful growth. It represents precision, alignment, and an unwavering sense of purpose.

Travel has always been my passion. Not just the journeys themselves, but the hotels that shape them. I’ve had the joy of discovering some of the world’s most extraordinary properties, and I’ve seen how powerful it can be when a place is brought to life in the right way.

At their best, luxury hotels are more than somewhere to stay – they are the keepers of unforgettable moments. Yoga on a clifftop in Bali. A midnight fiesta in Havana. An afternoon spent with artisans learning age-old traditions that give a place its soul. Then there are the layers of detail that run through a hotel. The ones you can’t quite put your finger on, but that feel personal, effortless, and unforgettable. That indefinable magic is what lingers, long after a journey ends.

That’s why I created Chapter & Compass, to champion extraordinary hotels with a boutique approach that blends commercial insight with a storyteller’s touch. My purpose is simple: to showcase the very best in luxury hospitality and the details that make each hotel unforgettable.

Because it’s the quiet details, that turn a stay in to a story.
