The Map Network Launches New Suite of Mapping Solutions for Hotels and Resorts
WASHINGTON, DC | Building off its success in creating the official mapping solutions for more than 90 destinations in the United States via their Convention and Visitor Bureaus, The Map Network (TMN) launched today its newest suite of online and print maps designed specially for the hotel industry.
Hotel Map is designed to significantly enhance the guest experience and support the hotel’s overall sales and marketing efforts. In addition to making a hotel's location ”come alive,” these highly differentiated online maps provide compelling visual content - featuring the hotel's interior and exterior layouts, nearby points of interest, upcoming events, and personal recommendations from the hotel's concierge.
“Numerous surveys show that travelers base their hotel buying decisions largely on a hotel’s location. Hotel Map unlocks the power of a hotel’s location with an innovative visual presentation of its information. These online maps vividly illustrate the value of a hotel’s location, attracting more travelers to the hotel,” said Eric Kreins, Senior Director, Hotel and Venue Sales at The Map Network. “It’s an exciting new product that reinforces a hotel’s brand identity while providing unparalleled local travel content on the hotel’s destination through our network of Convention and Visitor Bureaus. Thanks to the richness of this virtual experience, guests are better informed about what their hotel has to offer even before they arrive.”
“Our new print and online versions of Hotel Map have taken us well above the rest in providing our guests with an excellent service that helps them explore and enjoy all that our hotel has to offer. Anything from our concierge’s recommended restaurants, to the best route to see local attractions, or locate nearby businesses is easily found on our maps,” said Jon Lockwood, Director of Sales and Marketing, Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel. “In addition to this, by being able to easily and dramatically illustrate the benefits of our location, we have gained a strong competitive advantage in booking group business.”
Hotel Map is not only designed to enhance a hotel’s website. Customized print maps are available for use by concierge or front desk staff. The print maps also serve as a frontline sales tool for inclusion in proposals by a hotel sales department. This offers a hotel a unified presentation across multiple media, ensuring a consistent image, look and feel. Visit
