RIP Generic Stock. Hello CP Luxe.

Nadine Cole, Managing Director, CP West

The era of Happy Family Checking into Hotel and Friends Clinking Glasses is officially over. Generic, overused stock images have dominated hospitality marketing for years—leaving every hotel, resort, and destination looking and feeling the same.

The Authenticity Gap in Hospitality

Today’s traveler is discerning. They crave experiences that feel real, meaningful, and tailored to their interests. They’re not looking for staged smiles—they want to see a story they can picture themselves in.

Yet too often, hotels rely on big-stock libraries. These images are shared across industries—one day a luxury pool photo appears on a resort website, the next on a dentist’s homepage. The result? Your brand loses individuality and your audience tunes out.

CP Luxe: A Shift in Approach

CP Luxe is hospitality-only stock, built to solve this problem. Every image is crafted specifically for hotels, resorts, destinations, and experiences, so your visuals feel exclusive, authentic, and on-brand.

When time or budget doesn’t allow a standalone shoot, CP Luxe is a smart way to add personality, texture, and depth to campaigns. Additional AI services make it easy to scale your visuals while keeping them differentiated and true to your brand’s voice. AI doesn’t replace creativity or strategy—it amplifies them, letting you produce high-quality imagery consistently, without compromising authenticity.
