Everything worth asking.

Yours, entirely. The guide carries your name, your logo, your colours, and your tone. There is no Strictons branding on the guide itself. Guests have no reason to perceive it as anything other than something your hotel commissioned — because in every meaningful sense, it is.

Nothing. The guide is funded entirely by the local businesses who pay for placement inside it. Hotels partner at zero cost, with no ongoing fees and no management overhead. You receive the result. Strictons carries the cost of producing it.

One briefing conversation. One content review before print. After that — nothing. Strictons manages design, production, curation, and logistics. Your team's only role is to hand the guide to guests at check-in.

Strictons curates a shortlist based on your property's standard and your guests' likely interests. You review and approve every business before anything goes to print. If a business doesn't meet your standard, it doesn't go in. No exceptions.

No. Strictons works with boutique, lifestyle, and affordable luxury hotels. The print quality is always premium — but the guide is designed to match the specific standard of your property and the expectations of your guests. The principle applies at every level: guests who arrive informed behave differently.

Twelve months. Every guest who checks in during that period receives the guide. At year's end, we review together — whether to continue, refresh, or update it for the next period.

It isn't advertising in any meaningful sense. You're not buying impressions from a broad, unqualified audience. You're placed inside a trusted, hotel-branded guide — handed to guests who are physically nearby, ready to spend, and actively looking for recommendations. The hotel's name surrounds your listing. Guests read it as a recommendation, not a paid placement.

No. Placement is selective. Strictons curates a limited number of businesses per guide — chosen to match the hotel's standard and the profile of its guests. We keep the guide small deliberately: fewer placements means each business gets real attention, not a buried listing in a directory. Not every enquiry results in an offer, and that selectivity is what makes the placement worth having.

A physical listing in the printed guide — description, category, and contact details — in the hands of every guest for twelve months. A digital profile accessible by QR code with deeper detail, images, and direct links. Pre-arrival visibility through the hotel's booking confirmation and arrival emails. And because the guide is intentionally small, your listing isn't competing for attention against dozens of others — it gets read.

The guide is placed in the guest's hand at check-in — the moment they're most actively thinking about where to go. Many guests encounter it before they arrive, through the hotel's pre-arrival emails. Your business appears as part of the hotel's curated local recommendations. They don't search. They follow the guide. That's the distinction.

Placements run for the duration of the hotel's partnership — twelve months. Your business is featured in every guide handed to every guest who checks in during that period. At the end of the year, placement is reviewed and may be renewed for the next partnership term.

Get in touch via the contact page. We'll come back to you with details on which hotel partnerships are currently active near you and whether there's space in the guide for your type of business. If there's a fit, we'll discuss next steps from there.
