AI visibility is concentrated. Most hotels are invisible.

We analysed 12,500+ structured AI queries across 6 platforms in 5 UK luxury markets. The finding: AI visibility is highly concentrated.

Hotels that appeared consistently had:

  • Complete, structured data: name, location, amenities, pricing
  • Citations from authoritative travel sources
  • Clear direct booking pathways
  • Consistent attribute descriptions across all platforms

Hotels that did not appear had none of these.

57%

Just 5 hotels captured 57% of all AI mentions. Most properties barely registered.

Hotels that appeared consistently had clearer, more complete information across the sources AI systems draw from. Others simply weren't findable. The difference is fixable.

Based on 2,700 AI queries analysed across 25 London luxury hotels. Methodology and sample notes are included in the scan report.

How LuxDirect works
