Selfie in the hotel: how to deal with the fashion (and hashtags) of the guests
Hotels are not especially favored in selfies . They will grow in the photo well orchestrated and lit. The image of a fan does not enhance their best angle, hence seeing photos of Tripadvisor clients can only make us cry. Much less if that fan only wants them to appear in the background. Nevertheless, hotels are not exempt from shared self-portraits . Whether they like it or not, they will be the background of many of them. And if they are unavoidable, why not hug them and take them to their field?
This is the idea advocated by the **Paris Mandarin Oriental**. This hotel on rue Saint-Honoré does it, moreover, in a clever way. His programme “Selfies in Paris” power, not that the hotel is photographed, but that it is the city that appears in the selfie. This is how they make sure maintain aesthetic control of the space . This package consists of one night at the hotel plus three hours of car with wifi that accompanies the clients to take the ineffable photos . The hotel has published a map that specifies the best places for it. If the selfies are shared with a hashtag authors can win a hotel night. Bravo (pronounced Bgaaavó) for the hotel : You are guaranteed to make a mark while safeguarding your precious and treasured image.
The Mandarin in Paris is not the only hotel that enhances the selfie, although it is the one that does it in the most delicate way. At the Grande Bretagne hotel in Athens they have also decided to take advantage of this phenomenon in which we all fall. To do this, they have designated a selfie-spot , a point from which to take a selfie, which is optimal for the Acropolis to come out . Thus, customers are happy and the chances of them sharing their photo on social networks quoting the hotel increase.
Plus selfieexamples : the La Concha hotel in Puerto Rico has the 'Take A Selfie Adventure Package'; This pack includes discounts on sites where, inevitably, a selfie will fall, which, of course, must be shared with the corresponding tag. Something similar has been invented by the La Muse hotel in New York, **its prizes for self-promotion vary between free drinks and free nights**. The OD hotels in Mallorca and Ibiza are also encouraging: if there is a selfie with hashtags there are chances to win a night. No mention, no privileges. That's the price to pay for hotel vanity.
Other hotels, like the 1888 Hotel in Sydney, go one step further. This establishment allows you to take selfies in your lobby ; selfies that he then projects onto a screen. We are not sure if we want this to be the first thing we see when entering a hotel. Unless it is our face that presides over the lobby: then perhaps we like the idea.
