This is exactly what CGI authentication is for. When enabled, contacts
can only see hosts, hostgroups, and services that they are contacts for.
Create a contactgroup for the FWB people, a contactgroup for the hotel
people and make them contacts for their respective hosts and services.
The on-call guy should be a member of both contactgroups.
