Our Vision
At CKP Consult, our vision is to create lifestyle-led hospitality spaces that are vibrant, thoughtful, and built for lasting impact. While hotels are a core focus, we work across the broader hospitality and real estate sectors, bringing insight, energy, and hands-on expertise from concept to opening. With experience across the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East, we tailor projects to their markets and communities. We guide brand strategy, pre-opening planning, team building, PR, and partnerships with the right F&B and retail operators. We’re passionate about places that feel authentic, sustainable, and full of life. We build spaces that reflect their neighbourhoods and open strong from day one. We’re here to help our clients create hospitality that’s as smart as it is soulful, places that welcome, inspire, and endure.
