What is a hotel local recommendation platform?
A hotel local recommendation platform lets a hotel curate the local restaurants, tours, and services it trusts and show them to guests inside its own private Guest Hub. Guests open it from the room QR code, browse the hotel's picks, and intentionally submit a request that becomes a business lead. Stayhos is hotel-curated — not a public marketplace, directory, or booking engine.
The daily problem
Guests will ask for local tips. The question is whether they get yours.
Flyer racks and binders go stale
A lobby flyer rack or an in-room binder is out of date the moment a place changes its hours — and you never know whether a guest looked at it.
Reception tips depend on who is on shift
A great local tip lives in one receptionist's head. On their day off, guests get a shrug or a generic search result instead.
Guests default to a search engine
Without a trusted pick, guests fall back on a map app full of ads and reviews — and the places you actually vouch for stay invisible.
Stayhos puts the local places you trust in the same hub guests already use — curated by you, tracked as leads.
How hotel-curated local recommendations work.
The hotel curates the list; the guest browses and asks; the business acts on the lead. Guest contact details are shared only when the guest submits a request.
The hotel curates its picks
From the dashboard, the hotel adds the local restaurants, tours, transfers, and services it trusts to its own Discover Near Us — a curated list, not an open signup.
Guests open the Guest Hub
Guests scan the room QR code to open the hotel's private Guest Hub. No app to download, no account — the room context comes from the QR code itself.
Guests browse what the hotel recommends
Inside the hub, guests see the local places their hotel stands behind — reached by a card from the request-first hub, not buried in a public listing.
A request becomes a lead
When a guest wants what a partner offers, they submit a request. Their contact details are shared only at the moment they choose to send it.
The hotel keeps tracking visibility
The lead lands in the local business's own dashboard, where the business acts on it. The hotel sees lead status — oversight, not the booking.
The business side of this flow — leads arriving in a partner's own dashboard — is covered in local business leads from hotels.
What you can curate
A curated local guide, in the categories guests ask about.
Add the trusted local places you would recommend yourself. Each hotel curates its own list — these are examples of what Discover Near Us supports.
Restaurants & cafes
The places you would send a guest to yourself — from a long dinner to a quick morning coffee near the hotel.
Tours & experiences
Boat trips, walking tours, and day excursions run by operators you trust to look after your guests.
Transfers & taxis
Airport pickups and reliable local drivers, so guests are not left negotiating a fare at the curb.
Car & equipment rental
Rental partners for cars, bikes, and gear, matched to what guests actually ask your front desk about.
Wellness & spas
Massage, spa, and wellness spots nearby that fit the kind of stay your guests are looking for.
Local shops & attractions
Markets, makers, and the attractions worth a guest's afternoon — the local knowledge a concierge would share.
A better guest experience than a search engine.
Guests get your trusted local knowledge in the same no-app hub they already use to ask for service.
Trusted picks, not a search gamble
Guests see the places their hotel actually recommends — a curated short list instead of a map app full of ads and unfamiliar names.
No app, no account
The local guide opens in the browser from the room QR code. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for, no room number to type.
One tap to ask
When something looks good, the guest sends a request from the same hub — no copying phone numbers or hunting for a booking site.
Request-first, never crowded
Discover Near Us is a card from the Guest Hub, so it complements in-stay service requests instead of burying them.
Discover Near Us is reached by a card from the request-first Guest Hub, so it never crowds the in-stay request form.
Visibility, not the booking
What the hotel can see — and what it does not run.
Leads belong to the local business's own dashboard. The hotel keeps tracking visibility, scoped to its own recommendations.
See lead status, not run the booking
The hotel dashboard shows each lead's status and which business handled it. The business owns the actions; the hotel keeps oversight.
Aggregate, read-only analytics
A read-only analytics foundation shows lead activity in aggregate. It is a view of what happened — never individual guest tracking or profiling.
Manual commission and settlement records
Where a hotel tracks commission, records are manual and exportable as CSV for accounting — not automatic calculation, payouts, or invoices.
Curated, not crowded
Hotel-curated recommendations vs. a public marketplace.
Stayhos is deliberately not a directory. The hotel is the curator, and guests only see the places it stands behind.
The hotel chooses which local places appear.
Anyone can list and bid for placement.
Guests see it inside the hotel's private Guest Hub.
Listings sit in a public, searchable directory.
A recommendation carries the hotel's trust.
A ranking carries an algorithm's guess.
Requests become leads in the business's dashboard.
Bookings and payment run through the platform.
Honest boundaries
A curated recommendation layer — and what it is not.
Stayhos makes the local places a hotel recommends visible to guests and turns intentional requests into trackable leads. It does not become a marketplace, a booking engine, or a payments system to do it.
The booking and payment stay where they belong — directly between the guest and the local business, outside Stayhos.

Hotel local recommendation platform — common questions.
What is a hotel local recommendation platform?
A hotel local recommendation platform lets a hotel curate the local restaurants, tours, and services it trusts and show them to guests inside its own private Guest Hub. Guests open it from the room QR code, browse the hotel's picks, and intentionally submit a request that becomes a business lead. Stayhos is hotel-curated — not a public marketplace, directory, or booking engine.
How do hotels recommend local restaurants to guests with Stayhos?
From the dashboard, the hotel adds the restaurants it trusts to its own Discover Near Us list. Guests browse those picks in the Guest Hub during their stay and can send a request to a place they like. The hotel curates the list — businesses appear because the hotel recommends them, not by signing up to an open directory.
Where do guests see the hotel's local recommendations?
Inside the hotel's private Guest Hub, reached from the in-room QR code. Discover Near Us is a card from the request-first hub, not a public listing or an accordion crowding the request form. Guests browse the local places their hotel recommends in the same no-app hub they use to ask for service.
Is this a public directory or marketplace of local businesses?
No. Discover Near Us is hotel-curated: each hotel chooses which local businesses appear in its own Guest Hub. There is no public listing, search ranking, ad auction, or open marketplace — guests only see the businesses their hotel recommends, and there is no booking engine or checkout inside Stayhos.
What can a hotel curate in its local guide?
Restaurants and cafes, tours and experiences, transfers and taxis, car and equipment rental, wellness and spas, and local shops and attractions. Each hotel curates its own list of trusted partners, so the guide reflects the local knowledge a good concierge would share — kept current from the dashboard, not a printed binder.
Can the hotel see what guests do with its recommendations?
The hotel sees each lead's status and which business handled it — oversight and tracking, not the booking itself. Leads land in the local business's own dashboard, where the business accepts, contacts, and confirms them. A read-only analytics foundation shows lead activity in aggregate, never individual guest tracking.
Does Stayhos guarantee bookings or revenue from recommendations?
No. Leads depend on real guest interest, so Stayhos does not promise lead volume, bookings, or revenue. It makes genuine guest interest visible and trackable. Where a hotel tracks commission, records are manual and exportable as CSV — there is no automatic commission calculation, and Stayhos handles no payments, payouts, or invoices.
How is this different from a flyer rack or a printed local guide?
A flyer rack or binder is static, goes stale, and tells you nothing about whether a guest used it. A hotel local recommendation platform is curated from the dashboard, opens in the guest's hub from the room QR code, and turns an intentional guest request into a trackable lead for the recommended business.
