The commercial intelligence layer for the hotel industry. A curated 25-year hospitality substrate, a 10-layer hotel SWOT index, proprietary frameworks for pricing, feasibility and positioning, and AI reasoning that produces decision-ready artefacts in 72 hours.
Owners and owner representatives, hotel brands and CDOs, hotel management companies, independent hotels, feasibility consultancies, and hotel executive teams (GMs, RDs, S&M directors).
Research firms reinvent the methodology every engagement. SpotQuest applies one methodology across every market, in 72 hours rather than 12 weeks, at a fraction of the cost.
25+ years of operator, investor and destination work, structured into a proprietary data layer. Forward-looking BAR, F&B menus, accessibility, transport, sentiment - continuously refreshed.
The substrate updates continuously. Pricing behaviour and availability refresh in real time. Sentiment streams. The layer is never 'as of'.
Every signal is tagged with provenance, freshness and confidence. Claims in SpotQuest outputs trace to source. We publish the methodology behind every output.
Generic AI reads the public web. SpotQuest reads a curated industry substrate. The mechanics are identical; the output is not. See the full breakdown on Why not ChatGPT.
We use Claude as the primary reasoning engine, embedded inside agentic workflows that traverse the SpotQuest substrate. The model is the speed; the layer is the depth.
Briefs and properties are handled under NDA on request. Outputs are owned by you. We do not train models on client briefs.
72 hours for the standard quickscan. 10 days for a full feasibility. 14 days for a headroom-to-grow study. 90 days for a full AI consultancy engagement.
Yes - for feasibility consultancies (JLL, HVS, Horwath etc) and for hotel management companies who want SpotQuest beneath their own deliverables.
The methodology is consistent (that is the point). The output format, branding and depth are configurable.
Per-study, monthly subscription, or enterprise. Monthly subscriptions for unlimited screening. Enterprise for multi-brand portfolios. Discovery calls are free; quickscans are free for first-time properties.
No. The first quickscan is free. Subscriptions are monthly. Enterprise contracts are typically 12 months.
