HERE & NEAR

SCAN. ASK. EXPLORE.

Your local stay assistant

Where can we walk for dinner?

Try the waterfront bistro two blocks north. It’s relaxed, locally loved, and open until 10.

Does the hotel have late checkout?

I can explain the property’s policy—or direct you to the front desk when a team member should help.

The guest journey

Small touchpoint. Useful conversation.

The concept turns familiar in-room materials into an always-available path to hotel information and local discovery—without asking guests to download another app.

Notice

A guest sees a tasteful QR magnet, welcome card, or tabletop display carrying the hotel’s identity.

Scan

The QR code opens a mobile, hotel-branded assistant with no app download or account creation.

Ask

The guest receives curated local ideas and hotel-approved answers, with clear handoffs to staff when needed.

What we are exploring

Designed around the property—not a generic chatbot.

Hotel-approved property information and boundaries
Curated neighborhood recommendations and itineraries
Custom QR touchpoints for rooms and welcome materials
Optional locally inspired magnets and retail collections
Guest-question insights that may reveal service gaps

This is an early concept being shaped with hotel professionals before a pilot is developed.

Help shape the pilot

We want the honest hotel perspective.

We’re speaking with boutique and independent hotel professionals before building. Positive feedback is helpful; concerns and “this would never work here” feedback may be even more valuable.
