About & Partners
A hotelier's eye. A consultant's discipline.
Our Story
A mother and daughter, two complementary careers.
CO-FOUNDER & CEO
Rachel Johnson Rheams
A ten-year career in luxury hospitality — hotel openings, global hotel sales, and leadership as Chief Sales Officer of a luxury travel agency. Rachel knows how hotels think, and how to make a stay feel personal.
CO-FOUNDER & CFO
Kimily Johnson
Three and a half decades in corporate consulting and technology. Kimily designs CTD's operational systems and client processes — the quiet structure that keeps every journey precise.
Guiding Philosophy
Personal attention
You work with the founders directly — the same people from first call to return.
Considered planning
Fewer, better choices. Each property and experience chosen for a reason.
Operational detail
Systems designed to ensure nothing is missed, and everything is documented.
Transparent fees
One professional fee, stated up front. Travel priced as the supplier offers it.
Preferred Affiliations
Relationships that change how you are received.
Booking through our preferred-partner programs can bring daily breakfast for two, a property credit, and an upgrade, early check-in or late check-out when available — along with the recognition of arriving as a valued guest.
Amenities vary by property and program and are subject to availability.
