What follows is a text about internal hotel information systems (pages - get it?).

Can anyone come up with a catchy English equivalent?
TIA

Hotels on site

Explanation:
It´s not great, but it´s an attempt.

I don´t think "side" works here - this has no Internet connection for me. OK, there is, or used to be, a connection between side and page (side being one side of a piece of paper) but this has not transferred to Internet pages.

Hotels in their 'finest threads'

Explanation:
Bit far out, because you are expected to know that an internet site is also informally called a 'thread' (get it, red thread?); the average internetter in the US is familiar with it, I should think. 'Threads' is also a synonym for sharp-looking clothes
