Meet the British woman behind the ultra-luxury travel experiences that win Oscar nominees every year

Meet the British woman behind the ultra-luxury travel experiences that win Oscar nominees every year

May 4, 2022

Cleo Anderson – curator of luxury travel for the Hollywood elite.

As every year, 25 Oscar nominees (including Steven Spielberg, Judy Dench, and Nicole Kidman) received the world's most talked-about and expensive gift bag. This bag often contains an invitation to an ultra-luxurious trip, which for many is a once-in-a-lifetime dream. Many people don't know that the luxury travel expert who annually curates these incredible trips for Hollywood's elite is British travel expert Cleo Anderson, luxury travel specialist and founder of Anderson Media Group, an international luxury PR agency.

Cleo is the woman behind these specially curated trips. For over a decade, Cleo has worked with luxury hotels worldwide, managing PR campaigns for both exclusive boutique hotels and large resorts. Having traveled the world and experienced what hotels have to offer, Cleo is unrivaled in her ability to distinguish what seems exceptional from true luxury. For the past few years, Cleo has carefully selected the world's most unique stays to curate the exclusive "Everyone Wins" gift bag. Also this year, she was appointed curator of the luxury trips included in "Everyone Wins" by Lash Fary, the project's creator.

"This extraordinary journey became the cornerstone of our much-loved 'Everyone Wins' gift bag. It's a great privilege to work with Cleo, who ensures we have something truly special to offer nominees every year. Each destination is vetted by a seasoned professional, so I can confidently and proudly offer it as a prize," notes Fary.

This year's winner of the exclusive hotel competition is Turin Castle, a unique property nestled in lush Scottish countryside, built in 1659. The ten-bedroom property offers full butler service, meals, a bagpiper welcome on arrival, a private gin tasting, and a fully personalized concierge service.

Cleo searched far and wide before finally choosing the Faro Cumplida as a unique luxury hotel where a stay should be one of the gifts for the nominees. This privately owned hotel with a lighthouse, located in Spain's Canary Islands, has offered stars like Leonardo Di Caprio, Tom Hanks, and Scarlett Johanson romantic getaways in four luxurious suites, complete with a pool overlooking the Atlantic and views of the Canary Islands.

Cleo admits, "Finding unique, luxury getaways to include in your gift bag every year can be a daunting task, as there are so many wonderful destinations to choose from. With the hospitality industry hit hard by the pandemic, this is a wonderful way to showcase properties that might really need it right now—being included in the program is a real win-win for many hotels. I'm always on the lookout for properties and destinations that are somehow exclusive, unique, and offer the luxury we're all craving right now."

Cleo is currently in the process of deciding which luxury hotel or hotels will be considered for next year's exclusive nominee gift bag, and currently has her eye on a few private islands in Thailand and the Bahamas.

Regardless of who the lucky participants turn out to be, Hollywood will, as always, be the center of attention. Of course, let's remember that "everyone wins.".
