Chapter 01 / The challenge

Guests saw a boutique group as one more stylish hotel among many.

Three properties, three looks and no shared story. Every hotel competed on rooms and amenities, the same ground as every competitor in the area. Direct bookings lagged behind the booking platforms.

Chapter 02 / The insight

Guests choose hotels for the rooms. →

Guests remembered the neighbourhoods, not the amenities.

Reviews, guest interviews and a walk of every street around each property told the same story. What people talked about afterwards was the bakery on the corner and the market on Saturday.

Chapter 03 / The idea

[ Every stay is a story of its street. ]

One idea for the whole group. Each hotel tells its own street’s story inside a shared system, so the group grows without every property looking the same.

Chapter 04 / The expression

A new identity, website and in-room collateral built around local stories.
