Escapade for Hotels
A private guide in every room, available at 3 a.m.
Walking tours that start at your front door, in your hotel's name and voice. Guests pick the topic, the length and the time; your concierge desk doesn't have to.
The problem
Your guests ask the same question every morning
"What should we do today?" is the most common question at the desk, and the answer is usually a printed map and a highlighted list. Good concierges are busy, guided tours run on fixed schedules, and guests who arrive late or leave early miss them.
- Group tours start across town, at 10 a.m., in one language.
- Concierge time goes to the same recommendations, over and over.
- Guests leave without a story about the neighborhood they slept in.
How it works
Three steps
- 1
We map your neighborhood
We build walks that start and end at your entrance, using the places your team already recommends — and the history your building sits on.
- 2
Guests scan, pick, walk
A QR code in the room or the lobby opens the tour. Guests choose a topic and a length (30 minutes to two hours) and set off whenever they like.
- 3
The story plays as they arrive
Narration starts automatically at each stop. Phone in the pocket, eyes on the street.
What you get
Built for hotels
- 01
Your brand, not ours
White-label tours in your hotel's name and colors, with a narrator voice and tone that sound like your property.
- 02
Starts at your door
Every walk begins and ends at the hotel, so the neighborhood becomes part of the stay.
- 03
Guests choose
Topic, duration and start time are theirs. Architecture at dawn or bars after dinner, in English or French.

A concierge upsell with no staffing
Offer premium walks as part of a package or an add-on. Nobody needs to be scheduled to lead them.
- 05
QR in-room and in the lobby
Printed cards, key-card sleeves or a lobby sign. One scan opens the right tour.

Your picks, kept current
Add the bakery your team loves, drop the one that closed. Changes go live without reprinting anything.

GPS triggers each story on arrival; the walk works in the background, in silent mode.
FAQ
Hotels: common questions
Does the guest need to download an app?
Yes — Escapade is free on iPhone, with Android on the way. The QR code in the room takes guests straight to your hotel's tours, so they're walking within a minute of scanning.
Can the tours carry our name instead of Escapade's?
Yes. White-label tours use your hotel's name, colors and narrator voice. We'll walk through what that looks like on a call.
What languages are available?
English and French narration today. Tell us which languages your guests need and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
How long does it take to launch?
It depends on how many walks you want and how much we write from scratch. We'll give you a real timeline after a first call.
How is it priced?
Per property, based on the number of tours and whether they're white-labeled. Ask us for a quote.
