# Where's This Hotel? The Daily Hotel Geography Game

## Five hotels, one world map

[Where's This Hotel?](/games/where-is-this-hotel) shows you five photos
of luxury hotels. For each one, drop a pin on the world map where you
think it is. The closer you are, the more points you score, up to
**25,000** for a perfect round.

The daily five are the same for everyone and change at midnight, so you
can compare scores with friends and keep a streak going. **Practice**
deals a fresh five whenever you want more.

## How to play

1. **Study the photo.** Architecture, roofs, plants, the color of the
   sea, mountains on the horizon: everything is a clue. Tap the photo to
   see it bigger.
2. **Zoom in.** Tap the region you think it's in, and the map zooms in
   so you can be precise.
3. **Drop your pin.** Tap where you think the hotel is. Tap again to
   move it, then lock in your guess.
4. **See how close you were.** The map draws a line from your pin to
   the hotel, and you see its name, city and the perks you'd get booking
   it through a card's hotel program.

## Scoring

Each photo is worth up to **5,000 points**. A pin within 25 km of the
hotel scores the full 5,000. After that the score roughly halves with
every 1,000 km you're off:

| Distance from the hotel | Points |
| ----------------------- | ------ |
| 25 km or less           | 5,000  |
| 100 km                  | 4,678  |
| 250 km                  | 4,232  |
| 500 km                  | 3,583  |
| 1,000 km                | 2,567  |
| 2,000 km                | 1,318  |
| 3,000 km                | 677    |
| 5,000 km                | 178    |

**Stuck?** You can reveal the hotel's country, but that photo then
scores half.

Your share card shows one square per photo: green for 4,000 or more,
yellow for 2,500 or more, orange for 1,000 or more, red below that.

## Where the hotels come from

Every photo is one of **386 hotels in 125 countries**, all on the hotel
lists that come with premium travel cards: Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts
and The Hotel Collection, Chase's The Edit, Leading Hotels of the World,
and the resorts where the Hilton Honors Aspire card's resort credit
works. The game takes at most one hotel per city, and gives big
countries more photos without letting any one country take over.

When you find one you'd like to stay at, the
[Hotel Credits Map](/tools/hotel-credits-map) shows every hotel on these
lists with its credits and perks, and each hotel's page lists what you
get when you book it.

## Strategy tips

- **Read the landscape first.** Palm trees and turquoise water narrow
  it to the tropics; snow and pines to mountains or the far north.
- **Look at the building.** Whitewashed walls point to the
  Mediterranean, timber chalets to the Alps, glass towers to big cities.
- **Hedge when unsure.** A pin in the middle of a likely region scores
  better than a confident guess on the wrong side of it.
- **Save the hint.** Revealing the country costs half the points, so
  use it only when you can't pick a continent.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is each photo scored?

Up to 5,000 points. A pin within 25 km of the hotel scores the full
5,000, and the score roughly halves with every 1,000 km you're off:
about 3,580 at 500 km, 2,570 at 1,000 km and 1,320 at 2,000 km.
Revealing the country halves that photo's points.

### Is it the same game for everyone?

The daily five are the same for everyone and change at midnight your
time. Practice deals a random five whenever you like.

### Where do the hotels come from?

Every photo is one of 386 hotels in 125 countries from the Amex Fine
Hotels + Resorts, The Hotel Collection, Chase's The Edit, Leading Hotels
of the World and Hilton Aspire resort credit lists, at most one per
city.

### Can I zoom in on the map?

Yes. Tap a region to zoom in, then tap again to place your pin as
precisely as you like. The World button zooms back out.

### Is it free?

Yes. It's free with no account. Your scores, stats and streak are saved
in your browser.
