How this was measured
Score is the share of answers in which the hotel is named. Citations are counted from ChatGPT's explicit source list only, and from Business Profile cards vs web pages in Google AI Mode. Precise ranks are shown above a score of 10; below that hotels are grouped in bands. Universe: 4 and 5 star hotels by official classification, Google star class as fallback.
Read the numbers as directional. AI answers are stable in the short term: asked again within the hour, an engine names the same leading hotels. From our observations they change over time, including the leading choices, and which hotels an engine includes or leaves out is the engine's doing, not ours.
