A guest experience, made for you.
Strictons creates printed and digital hotel guides. Branded entirely to your property, given to every guest at check-in, and tailored to your community. At zero cost to the hotel.
A printed object that holds the room key. And a digital companion in every pocket.
Every Strictons partnership produces two paired guides - a printed book and a digital companion. Designed together, in the same brand, with the same curation.
The printed guide is a substantial object. Pressed into a guest's hand at check-in alongside their key card, kept through the stay, often taken home. Inside: the answers to the questions every guest asks. Your amenities, your hours, your services. A curated selection of the neighbourhood's best.
The digital companion is accessible by QR code from any page of the printed guide. Same content, deeper detail when the guest wants it — menus that update, directions that open in the right map, hours that reflect today.
Four steps, across about fourteen weeks.
We meet at your hotel.
A ninety-minute design session, on your property. We learn your brand, walk your space, and capture the texture of what makes you distinct. The conversation that shapes the rest of the work.
You curate your local list.
We pre-populate sixty to eighty potential local businesses to feature, based on quality, fit, and proximity. You review, remove, and add through a private portal. The final list is yours.
We design and produce both formats.
Every page in your typography, your colour, your voice — printed and digital, designed together. Editorial review of every business listing for tone and quality. A printed proof for your approval before we go to press.
The guides arrive, in both forms.
Unlimited printed copies delivered to your hotel for a twelve month run. The digital companion goes live the same week. Ready for every guest from the moment they check in.
Three small things from your side.
- A morning of your spaceWe host a single morning event at your hotel where local businesses meet us, sign on, and become part of the guide. We bring coffee and pastries; you provide a function room or quiet corner.
- Your brand assetsLogos, fonts, colour values, and any imagery we should reflect. If you have a brand guideline document, send it. If not, we'll work from what's on your website and our visit.
- A single point of contactThe owner, GM, or marketing lead who can approve the final guide. One person, decisions made cleanly. We handle the back-and-forth.
The hotel pays nothing.
Strictons funds every guide — printed and digital — through the local businesses we curate inside it. Cafes, restaurants, galleries, retailers: hand-selected with you and offered the chance to be featured to your guests.
Their participation covers the design, the printing, the digital build, and our work. Yours is to provide your brand and your guests. Nothing more.
“The businesses are part of the guest experience — not advertisers in it.”
We choose businesses for fit and quality, not who pays most. The guide reflects the standards your hotel has already set.
