14 Years of Creative Partnership
with De Vere & Principal Hotels
Bringing Hotel Stories to Life Through Film, Photography & Creative Content
For over 14 years, Creation Bureau has proudly partnered with De Vere and Principal Hotels, playing a key role
in documenting and shaping the visual identity of their properties across the UK. From nationwide refurbishments
to rebrands, we’ve delivered a full spectrum of hospitality-focused content production
elevating their guest experience through compelling visual storytelling.
Measurable Impact: 5 Years of Strategic Visual Content with De Vere Hotels
Results (2019–2024):
increase in direct bookings across key hotels supported by targeted video and photography campaigns using our digital assets
Up to 35% uplift in social media engagement on content featuring our imagery and video assets
10–15% higher average occupancy at visually optimised properties post-refurbishment campaigns sold based on our content creation
Consistent brand presence achieved across 14+ hotels, all brought in line visually while retaining local character
Over 1,200+ assets delivered, enabling year-round marketing across digital, print, OTA, and social platforms
Our work as part of their own marketing plan has helped De Vere achieve a cohesive yet individualised visual identity across all properties — from countryside estates like Latimer and Cotswold Water Park to city-based destinations such as Grand Connaught Rooms and Tortworth Court.
By creating emotionally engaging, high-quality visuals across all customer touchpoints — including websites, Google listings, Instagram, email marketing, and in-room screens — we’ve supported measurable brand uplift and guest engagement.

These include high-end hospitality video production, cinematic drone footage, styled lifestyle photography, food and beverage photography, staff and guest experience portraits, wedding and event coverage, and AI-enhanced visual storytelling.

Grand Connaught Rooms
Grand Connaught Rooms - Devere - Central London
This central location is famed for events with quality interior features and space. We were very much part of the venues updated and rebranding within Devere for Burr &Co Coffee houses but also in capturing every aspect of the location with a large styled wedding venue shoot being the biggest. Our role has been capturing content on a yearly basis.
Latimer House Hotel
Latimer House - Devere - Buckinghamshire
Latimer House in Buckinghamshire was a flagship hotel with two aspects. The Mansion House and The Stables. We helped Devere overcome the problem of people booking and not being booked into the House. Our role over a period of 4 years was to capture every aspect of the reinvestment from Devere as the full makeover evolved. This was complete and Creation Bureau documented every aspect.
