Editorial features for hotels, restaurants, inns, and destinations — written by our editors, published permanently, and read by travelers deciding where to go.
5 Reasons to Visit® is an independent digital travel publication covering the world's best hotels, chef-driven restaurants, and destinations. Our readers aren't browsing — they're deciding where to go, where to stay, and where to eat. An editorial feature places your name inside that decision.
If you own or market a restaurant, hotel, resort, or inn and you're looking to get featured in a travel magazine, this page explains how our editorial features work, which format fits your property, and how to request the media kit and current rate card.
Every format is a genuine editorial write-up in our voice — clearly disclosed, permanently published, and built to keep working long after it runs.
The lead spot in our “5 Reasons to Visit [City]” feature names a single restaurant as the Editor's Pick. One editorial write-up in our voice, your signature dish as the image, and a live reservation link — with no competitors in the piece.
In-depth editorial previews of new and notable properties — design, amenities, guest experience, and why the property matters to its destination.
An editorial interview with your executive chef or culinary director, showcasing the signature dishes, philosophy, and local food culture behind the room.
Curated itineraries covering what to do, where to eat, drink, and stay — the guides travelers read while planning, and the ones that keep ranking for years.
An editor visits your property in person — staying, dining, and experiencing it as a guest would — then writes the feature from firsthand experience rather than a press release.
Multi-piece editorial campaigns and custom partnerships that integrate your brand into our travel storytelling authentically. Analytics and audience demographics available on request.
Three questions. We'll show you which editorial feature fits your property — and start your inquiry with it already filled in.

Our features read like editorial because they are editorial. Our editors write every word in the 5 Reasons to Visit® voice, and every sponsored feature is clearly disclosed in line with our advertiser disclosure.
“Our editors choose the restaurant; the fee is for permanent placement.”
That independence is exactly what gives a feature its weight. We don't sell rankings, we don't auction placements to the highest bidder, and we don't publish anything our editors wouldn't stand behind.
Formats, audience demographics, and the current rate card are available on request. We respond to every partnership inquiry within two business days.

Monday–FridayThank you — our team will be in touch within two business days from media@5reasonstovisit.com.
For restaurant, hotel, inn, and destination owners considering an editorial feature.
Send us a note through the form on this page or email media@5reasonstovisit.com with your restaurant, city, and what you have coming up. Our editors review every inquiry. The lead restaurant placement in a city guide is the Editor's Pick — Where to Eat & Drink, and only one restaurant appears in that spot per city.
Hotels and resorts are typically covered through a First Look feature — an in-depth editorial preview covering design, amenities, guest experience, and destination context. These work best around an opening, rebrand, or major renovation, though established properties are covered as well. Reach out with your timeline and we'll advise on the right format.
It's editorial. Our editors write every word in the 5 Reasons to Visit® voice, and sponsored features are clearly disclosed in line with our advertiser disclosure. We don't publish display-style advertorials written by brands.
Our editors choose the property; the fee is for permanent placement — the writing, production, and the article living at a permanent URL. We don't sell rankings or auction placements.
Rates vary by format, scope, and whether a media visit is included. Our current rate card, audience demographics, and full media kit are available on request — use the form on this page and we'll send everything over within two business days.
Our editorial team. You'll be asked for details, imagery, and any specifics you want considered, but the article is written by our editors in our own voice. That's what makes it read as editorial to a traveler rather than as marketing copy.
Yes — through a Media Visit. An editor stays, dines, and experiences the property as a guest would, then writes the feature from firsthand experience. The specific detail that comes from actually being there is what readers respond to, and it can be paired with any editorial format.
Permanently. Features are evergreen and live at a fixed URL with no end date. They continue to be indexed by Google, surface in AI answers, and draw readers long after publication — which is the core of the value.
We respond to every inquiry within two business days. From there, timing depends on the format, the editorial calendar, and how quickly we receive your details and imagery. If you're working toward a specific opening or season, tell us the date in your inquiry and we'll advise on what's achievable.
You're welcome to review for factual accuracy — names, addresses, hours, dishes, reservation links. Editorial voice, framing, and final judgment remain with our editors. That independence is what gives the feature its credibility with readers.
Yes. Our primary audience is in the United States with strong international readership, and we regularly cover properties and destinations worldwide. International inquiries are welcome.
Typically your property name and city, high-resolution imagery you have rights to, a reservation or booking link, and a short note on what makes the place distinctive. If a Media Visit is part of the plan, we'll coordinate dates directly with your team.
