What earns a place
Every entry needs a reason.
A place in the Book needs more than a beautiful room or a nomination. It needs evidence and a useful reason to choose it.
What do we actually know?
We distinguish firsthand experience, trusted-source knowledge and material still being checked. A website description is not a personal visit. A hosted relationship should be disclosed where it affects the reader’s understanding.
Who is it right for?
A recommendation should tell you about the people, occasion and conditions it suits. A lively room can be wonderful for a celebration and exhausting for a quiet conversation.
What needs checking?
Availability, room arrangements, access, minimums and the people running the place can change. A public guide gives context. A live brief needs current verification.
Would we put our name behind it?
The answer needs to survive more than an attractive photograph. A source submission starts a review. A sourced option does not automatically earn the Seal.
