About
Established in 1989, ADS is Canadian owned and operated. We take pride in our sales team and hotel partners as well as how we work with our advertising partners to make their advertising a success.
We specialize in producing guest directory programs for hotels from coast to coast. Our success has allowed us to be the largest guest services directory provider in Canada.
Not just a simple, plain, boring guest directory; we tailor a guest directory program that is modern, stylish, and functional and which pleases both of our partners… hotels and advertisers.

With ongoing growth, we maintain our focus on innovative new ways to service our hotels and advertisers. Many of our hotel partners have voiced the desire to be clutter free and a Mobile Guest Directory is the key to keeping your guests informed and in touch with the hotel while keeping clutter free and green friendly.
We were the first Hotel Guest Directory company to offer free Mobile Directory Sites to hotels in Canada. Our newest launch makes keeping in touch with the hotel easy and simple – providing all of the information you will find in a print directory right on your guest’s smart-phone, tablet or desktop.
For our advertisers, this new technology means that their ads can go with the guest as they move around town. Guests can click on an ad to call the advertiser, or launch an interactive map to the location, and link to the advertiser’s website and social media pages.
And ADS isn’t sitting still… we are always working with developers to design directories that will stay ahead of emerging technologies. Stay tuned for more interesting hospitality technology advantages from ADS.
