## Article

Trivago's 2026 UK campaign launched in March with a cinematic 30-second spot showing a traveller comparing hotel options in real time. The cast and crew details below are the result of cross-referencing IMDb credits, agency rosters, and production house notes.

## The lead actress

**Gabrielle Miller** plays the protagonist. London-trained at LAMDA, she has theatre credits at the Old Vic and the Royal Court, plus television appearances in *Doctors* (BBC) and *The Crown* (Netflix, season 6). She is represented by Curtis Brown.

## The voice you hear

**Toby Longworth** narrates the campaign. He is a long-established voice artist whose previous commercial work includes Sky, Halifax, and several UK hospitality brands. His delivery, warm, slightly conspiratorial, has become a signature for travel comparison advertising.

## Production

The spot was shot over five days across Lisbon (exteriors), Faro (beach sequences) and Pinewood Studios (interiors). Director was Adam Smith (UK commercial director, not the Trainspotting cinematographer of the same name). Casting was handled by Manchester-based **Mad Dog 2020 Casting**, who briefed Curtis Brown for the lead role.

## How this differs from previous Trivago UK ads

The 2024-2025 campaigns featured Tim Williams and a rotating cast of unnamed travellers. The 2026 redesign moves to a single recurring protagonist (Miller) to build brand recognition over a longer arc, a shift the brand confirmed in its [German press materials](https://company.trivago.com).
