Luxury hotel directory for the AI era

Luxury hotels, recommended by AI

SHWIM ([ʃwim], Korean for “rest”) is a premium directory of hand-picked luxury hotels around the world — a place to pause while you travel. SHWIM 2.0 goes beyond a classic directory: it is designed to appear directly as the recommendation when people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews where to stay.

AI-first by design

Beyond classic SEO, every page is structured for AI search engines: llms.txt manifests, Schema.org data on every hotel and article, and an FAQ for each of the 493 hotels that AI can quote directly.
