How do you read a city?

Finding information about a city is easy. Understanding what makes a neighborhood special, which places have earned their reputation, and what is worth someone’s evening takes more work.

We started Vibeslist in 2024 because we wanted a better way to understand cities. To discover their different stories and bring them together in lists people could use, whether they were traveling somewhere new or exploring their own neighborhood.

That meant building technology that could keep learning about places, events, and the context that makes them worth recommending.

Then we started working with concierge teams.

More time for the judgment only your team can bring.

Concierges helped us understand where Vibeslist could make the biggest difference. They already knew how to care for their guests. Researching events, organizing recommendations, and preparing something to share took time away from that work.

Their requests were concrete: help us keep up with the city. Bring our trusted favorites into digital lists. Make those lists easy to personalize and share. Give us a starting point for a conversation before the guest arrives.

Those conversations continue to shape Vibeslist. We build alongside hotel teams, learning from what they use, where they get stuck, and what helps them deliver better service.

Four founders. A shared curiosity about cities.

Our backgrounds span engineering, food, culture, and product design. Vibeslist brings those perspectives together.

Jessica Zizzamia

Jessica Zizzamia

Co-founder & Head of Product

Jessica combines classical opera training with software engineering. She brings a cultural and technical perspective to shaping how hotel teams discover, organize, and share recommendations.

The next chapter begins before arrival.

As travelers turn to AI to research their trips, hotels have a choice about their role before arrival.

When a hotel helps a guest discover a concert, plan an evening, or explore a neighborhood, it becomes part of why the trip is memorable. That relationship can begin while the guest is still deciding what to do.

We’re building Vibeslist to make that possible within the team’s daily work. Less time researching and preparing recommendations. More time understanding the guest, anticipating their needs, and helping arrange the details.

Our ambition is to help hotels turn their knowledge of a city into a reason guests value staying with them.
