The editorial standard of LOBBY™
LOBBY™ is a curated editorial platform. Every venue, story, image, and submission is held to a refined standard that reflects the energy and integrity of Hotel Row™ and the city it celebrates.
Content should be considered, evocative, and culturally aware. We favor narrative over promotion, context over hype, and craft over noise. Press releases, listicles, and advertorial copy will not be published.
Submitted photography must be original or fully cleared for editorial use. We prefer natural light, architectural detail, atmosphere, and people in context. Avoid heavy filters, stock imagery, and over-retouched compositions.
Names, addresses, hours, programming, and credits must be verified before submission. LOBBY™ reserves the right to fact-check, edit, or decline content that cannot be substantiated.
Content must respect the communities, cultures, and neighborhoods it portrays. We do not publish material that is discriminatory, exploitative, defamatory, sexually explicit, or that promotes harm.
Plagiarism, AI-generated text passed off as original reporting, and uncredited reuse of others' work are not accepted. Citations and attributions are required.
Sponsored partnerships and paid activations are always clearly labeled. Editorial features are never sold; placement is earned through cultural relevance and curatorial fit.
LOBBY™ reserves full discretion over what is published, edited, or removed. Our role is to protect the integrity of the platform and the trust of our readers.
