Strategic Communications for Travel, Hotel & Hospitality Brands
Welcome to Chamberlin PR, a boutique public relations agency exclusively dedicated to the world of travel and hospitality. Based in San Francisco and proudly independent since 2004, we specialize in helping luxury hotels, boutique properties, resorts, destinations, and travel brands grow visibility and credibility in a highly competitive landscape.
We understand that hospitality isn’t just a service — it’s a feeling, a memory, a story waiting to be shared. Our job is to ensure those stories reach the right audiences through thoughtful, targeted, and enduring media strategies.
Chamberlin PR isn’t a full-service agency doing a little bit of everything. We’re deliberately focused. We work only in the travel public relations, hotel social media and hospitality space, because that’s where we thrive — and where we make the most impact.
Our founder, Kelly Chamberlin, created the agency with one clear mission: to give hotels, resorts, and destinations a voice that cuts through the noise and truly connects. Today, our team remains small, senior-level, and highly collaborative. Every client gets hands-on attention, personalized strategy, and access to some of the best relationships in the travel media world.
We are not chasing awards or massive client rosters. We are here to do smart, effective work for a select group of travel brands who are ready to invest in long-term storytelling.
- Media Relations with Purpose
At the heart of what we do is earned media — getting your property or brand featured in outlets that matter. From Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR to Forbes Travel Guide and Travel + Leisure, we know how to place stories that drive awareness, bookings, and industry recognition.
- Press Trips & Editorial Coverage
We coordinate immersive, tailored media visits that give journalists and influencers a true sense of your story — so when they write, they’re writing from experience. We handle all logistics, from planning itineraries to building media follow-up that ensures results.
- Brand Positioning & Messaging
Whether you’re launching a new property or refreshing an existing brand, we help define your messaging so it resonates with today’s travelers. We work closely with you to shape language that reflects your values and speaks to your audience.
- Influencer Partnerships
We maintain strong, long-standing relationships with top-tier digital influencers in the travel space. We connect your brand with creators who align with your tone, aesthetics, and audience — never just based on follower count.
- Launches & Strategic Campaigns
Opening a hotel? Unveiling a renovation? Debuting a signature experience? We, the hospitality public relations create pre-launch, launch, and post-launch plans that generate sustained media buzz. From press releases to event planning and media hosting, we take care of the details so you can focus on hospitality.
Our client list includes a diverse range of hospitality brands — from coastal boutique PR agency in California to international resorts in Mexico, wellness retreats in Arizona, and global destinations looking to increase their U.S. presence.
What our clients have in common is a commitment to quality. They’re not looking for splashy headlines just for the sake of it. They want a strategic partner who understands how to build visibility with intention — and who can deliver results that align with business goals.
We have proudly represented:
- Independent hotels and resorts
- Boutique hotel groups
- Luxury destination brands
- Wellness and culinary travel retreats
Hospitality developers and operators
We have worked with standout properties and partners across California, the U.S., and beyond. Some of the clients we have proudly supported include:

- The Lodge at the Presidio

- AC Hotels Marriot
- Focused Expertise
We don’t try to be everything to everyone. We only do travel and hospitality PR — and we do it exceptionally well.
- Small by Design
You won’t be passed off to junior staff. Our team is senior-led, highly experienced, and directly involved in every campaign.
- Media Relationships That Matter
After more than 20 years in the industry, we’ve built genuine connections with editors, writers, producers, and influencers. We know who’s covering what — and how to pitch stories that land.
- No Crisis PR, No Hype, No Fluff
We don’t offer crisis communications. And we don’t believe in short-term gimmicks. What we do offer is strategic, consistent PR that supports your long-term reputation.
- Results That Go Beyond Mentions
Our success isn’t measured by media impressions alone. It’s about relevance, trust, and engagement — helping your brand become a lasting presence in the minds of travelers and tastemakers.
Why Chamberlin PR?
- We specialize in travel & hospitality — and nothing else.
- We bring over 20 years of relationships in national and regional media.
- We work closely with clients, not from a distance.
- We value long-term impact over short-term buzz.
We don’t overpromise. We don’t hand you off to junior staff. And we don’t push trends that don’t fit your brand. We do strategic work, with purpose, experience, and care.
