When AI recommends a Swiss hotel, it doesn't always pick the names you'd expect

Repliq measured the visibility of Swiss hotels in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. Across 1,248 measurements run in May 2026, the Observatory shows which properties surface, which sources the engines cite, and why some specialised hotels become more visible than better-known brands.

Methodology in brief

Repliq submitted 158 hospitality prompts in French, German, Italian and English to four consumer AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode). Each prompt was measured over three cycles on 17, 18 and 19 May 2026.

Responses were processed by Repliq's analysis infrastructure: identification of cited hotels, extraction of source URLs, domain classification and visibility metric computation. Rankings are computed on the 1,246 retained measurements after corpus cleaning.
