Guests ask where to run. Hand them a heart from your doorstep.
Every concierge knows the question: "Where can I run around here?" A printed tourist map is a shrug. A heart-shaped route that starts at your front door is an answer guests remember — and photograph, and post. Generate it once, put the QR in the lobby and a flyer in the welcome pack, and every running guest gets a 5 km tour of the neighbourhood that begins and ends at your door.
How it works
- 1. Generate your QR kit. Enter the hotel address and CityHeart traces a heart-shaped route from your front door, shape-scored before you print. QR for the lobby, flyers for the welcome pack, in about 30 seconds.
- 2. A guest scans it. At the desk, in the lift, in the welcome email. The route opens on their phone — no app, no account — and the GPX loads onto their Garmin, Apple Watch or Strava free.
- 3. They run the neighbourhood and come back. The loop returns to your door. The guest gets a run worth posting; you get a concierge story that beats every competitor’s photocopied jogging map.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do guests need to install an app or pay anything?
- No. The QR opens the route in their browser, the GPX download is free, and it loads onto Garmin, Apple Watch, Coros, Suunto or Strava. No account, no checkout — a hotel amenity, not a upsell.
- We have no gym and no runner on staff. Can we still offer this?
- That is exactly the case this is built for. The QR kit is self-serve: generate it once, print it, and it works for every guest who asks, with zero staff time per request and no fitness facilities required.
- What distances work for hotel guests?
- The generator offers the heart at several lengths — a quick 3 km before breakfast, the classic 5 km, up to 10 km for guests training for a race. The guest picks; the route always starts at your door.
- What does it cost the hotel?
- Creating the QR kit is free and takes about 30 seconds. For groups and chains — several properties, event weekends, routes under your own brand — prepaid code packs start at €390, quoted per property, never metered.
