Features
One dataset. Four ways to use it.
Guests book smarter, hoteliers prove their freshness, suppliers find renovation leads, and developers build on the data — all from the same sourced timeline of every hotel.
Core data · for guests
Sourced renovation timelines
For every hotel: when it was built and each renovation we can verify — with a cited source behind every date. No quote, no data.
- ✓ Built year + full renovation history
- ✓ Each date links to its source
- ✓ Built & verified, never scraped from photos
The metric · for guests
The Chrono Score (1–10)
A single freshness score that turns a hotel's age and renovation history into one honest number — separate from its star rating.
- ✓ Pure freshness, not marketing
- ✓ Comparable across cities & countries
- ✓ Fresh / ageing / tired at a glance
B2B · revenue · for suppliers

Compliance moat · for suppliers
Regulatory & EPBD layer
Where the law forces renovation — star-classification cycles and EU energy-performance deadlines — turned into the highest-confidence leads there are.

- ✓ Informational, always cited
