Welcome to
Cream Cartel Studio
A creative outlet for hospitality culture, cocktail rituals, and rebel thinking.
Hi, From The Cartel
Cream Cartel is a creative hospitality agency rooted in the belief that meaningful experiences begin with emotion, not ego. We blend strategic thinking with bold creativity to design events, activations, and campaigns that are as thoughtful as they are unforgettable.Our work lives at the intersection of hospitality, culture, and human connection—where a well-timed gesture, a perfectly lit space, or a shared ritual can shift the energy of an entire room.With backgrounds in F&B, branding, operations, and design, we approach every project from multiple angles—bridging the gap between soul and system, detail and vision.Cream Cartel exists to build better hospitality—for guests, for teams, for everyone in the room.
The Cartel Memo
A Substack called The Cartel Memo. It’s part essay, part field note, part manifesto.
It’s for hospitality professionals, creatives, and rebels who want to think deeper about what we do.
Why Cartel?
A cartel is often misunderstood. It’s not just about power or control it’s about collaboration, strategy, and shared vision.
In the context of hospitality, we reclaim the word to mean:
A collective of independent minds, bound by taste, loyalty, and creative intent.
Cocktails Rule Everything Around Me
C.R.E.A.M.
Cream Cartel isn’t a company. It’s a mindset. A movement. A place for those who take hospitality personally. But what I’m really chasing is meaning, momentum, and mastery in service and in life.
Based in Dubai. Inspired by rebellion, rituals, and real hospitality.
Survey: The Real State of Hospitality in Dubai
Right now, We're running a survey to explore what’s holding hospitality professionals back—and how that varies by nationality, age, and experience.
If you're in the industry, on any front, your voice matters.
This research will shape the first Cartel Workshop.
