For hotels
A selection, not advertising space.
CINCIN features special hotels alongside the places around them: cafés, restaurants, wineries and day trips. This page explains how we select hotels and what we look for.
Two separate things
Selection and creative services
01 · The selection
Not for sale
The selection
We feature a hotel because it convinces us, in its architecture, food, hosts or setting, and because it suits a destination we cover. A place in our selection cannot be bought, and you do not need to contact us first.
- — A portrait of the hotel with practical notes
- — Alongside places and day trips nearby
- — A link to your website — booking happens there, not here
02 · Creative services
On request
Creative services
Separately, we work for hotels on request, for their own channels.
- — Copy in German and English
- — Photography and photo editing
- — Website design and redesign
- — Ongoing support
A character of its ownIn the architecture, the interiors, the food or the setting. It does not have to be small or owner-run.
Places around itThe hotel is in a destination we cover, with cafés, restaurants, wineries or day trips within easy reach.
Verifiable detailsWhat we write about a hotel can be checked against official sources.
Images with permissionWe only show images we are allowed to use, and credit the photographer where that has been agreed.
Introduce your hotel
How it works
- 01Send us a short email with the name, location and website of your hotel.
- 02We look at whether the hotel convinces us and fits a destination we cover or are preparing. Not every good hotel fits.
- 03If it fits, we agree which images we may use and how they should be credited.
- 04If a detail is no longer correct, let us know.
Transparency
Editorial independence
- 01Independent selection. Paid work on copy, images or websites has no influence on whether or how a hotel appears on CINCIN. If we work for a hotel in our selection, we say so.
