Map the spaces that can be shot
List rooms, dining, spa and exterior areas the property will actually release. Occupied floors, spa hours and kitchen service change the day. A mood board is not access.
Protect guests and staff on the plan
Say how contributors will be briefed, which areas stay closed, and who from the hotel signs off. Do not put guest identities into the first inquiry. The property remains an independent business.
Write the asset matrix before the crew call
Stills, film, social cuts and website crops need formats, safe areas and a named reviewer. A dramatic lobby frame that dies in a booking widget is a production problem, not a later marketing surprise.
Keep commercial channels in their own lane
Website copy, paid social and Hotel Ads landing experiences reuse the library; they are not the same brief as the shoot. Google’s Hotel Ads documentation describes rate and availability connections. Those connections do not book talent.
Define done without inventing a result
Name the file list, review rounds and usage term. Do not attach an occupancy promise or a fictional case study to the handover. REVVYE does not publish a hotel roster.
The working checklist
- Usable spaces and access windows.
- Guest and staff handling named.
- Formats and reviewer listed.
- Usage term separate from distribution channels.
- File list without invented performance.
