Started Epic World Stays in 2026. Chooses which properties we film and list.
Every property we list is shot by a director before it goes live. Days on the ground, one film, a brief our concierge keeps. We don't sell rooms. We sell what it feels like to arrive.
I spent twenty years booking hotels I regretted. The photos were lit for the website; the rooms were lit for a lamp. The hero shot was a terrace none of the suites had access to. The reviews were about the breakfast. I wanted to know what it felt like to walk in. No photo answers that. A film does.
So in 2026 we started Epic World Stays. We only list properties we've filmed ourselves. Our directors frame a hotel the way they'd frame a cathedral, and every film carries its director's name. Days on site, one film, scored and cut.
Our concierge team briefs every director before they fly out. The same team is on the other end when a guest lands and the car isn't quite where it should be. The film is the window; the concierge is the door.
We are small on purpose. If we have to turn a property down because the light's wrong, we do.
A small team, split by what each part of it looks after. The work that shapes what you see on the platform falls into four parts.
