As far we’re concerned, Condé Nast Traveller is the undisputed champ of locally inspired, culturally interesting, slightly lux travel advice.

As far as we’re also concerned, ChatGPT is the undisputed champ of researching and collating different hotels, restaurants and attractions into something that resembles a personalized travel itinerary.

What neither are good at is recommending hotels that are both available and within your budget. So we fixed that.

Try the GPT (requires GPT+ subscription)

The Condé Nast Travel Planner combines the tone and style of CN Traveller with a Google Hotels API to craft personalized, immediately bookable travel itineraries.

First you tell the GPT your travel location, your budget, who’s going, and any other information it should know. It will then serve up it’s top 3 hotel picks (only ones that are available within your dates and budget). Choose your hotel and it will then craft a tailored travel itinerary. If CN Traveller has written about your destination, it will include (and link to) restaurant and activity recommendations from that article.

Once you’ve refined and finalized your itinerary, it will serve up a table with all of the booking links for hotels, restaurants and activities.

Here’s an example itinerary of Jenny’s trip to witness the upcoming total solar eclipse. GPT decided Austin TX was the ideal location.

Inputs:
1) Location: I’m open as long as it’s in the United States and in the path of totality
2) Dates: Sunday Monday Tuesday. I know the eclipse is on a Monday in April but I don’t remember the exact date
3) How many travellers? 2, one adult and one child
4) Any other requirements? family friendly

@Conde Nast Traveller – over to you to embrace, shut down, or ignore (but secretly love) this GPT.
