At a glance
What we observed in this category
Nimb Hotel and Manon les Suites share the top rank with identical visibility scores of 25.0%, both sitting five times above the category average of 5.0%. The gap matters because the next tier of brands (71 Nyhavn Hotel, Villa Copenhagen, Hotel Sanders, NH Collection Copenhagen) each hold only 12.5% visibility, less than half the leaders' score. Manon les Suites is the most notable mover, jumping from rank 18 to rank 2 with a visibility delta of plus 25.0 percentage points in a single period.
A clear divergence exists between brands that appear in AI responses and brands that receive actual citations. Nimb Hotel and Manon les Suites both hold 25.0% visibility but carry 0.0% citation rates, meaning AI Mode names them without linking their domains. Radisson Collection Royal Hotel inverts this pattern entirely, recording 0.0% visibility but 12.5% citation rate. Only 71 Nyhavn Hotel achieves meaningful scores on both dimensions (12.5% visibility and 12.5% citation), making it the sole brand with balanced named-and-trusted status in this category.
All ten tracked brands list Google AI Mode as their top engine, confirming the audit data is anchored entirely on that single surface. Among the cited sources appearing in AI responses for this category, third-party platforms dominate: tripadvisor.com, booking.com, expedia.com, thehotelguru.com, globalgrasshopper.com, and cntraveler.com all feature alongside google.com and youtube.com. No hotel's own domain appears in the top cited sources list, which aligns with the near-zero citation rates observed across most brands in this category.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
