Is a hotel without guests even a hotel at all? It’s debatable but one thing’s for sure – it’s not a very successful hotel! If you want to bring in more guests to your hospitality business right now here are a few things you might want to think about doing.
- Dive Into Success with a Pristine Pool
Nothing says vacation like a glistening pool, especially one that’s clean enough to make your guests feel like they’re swimming in bottled water. Having an inviting pool on-site really is an invitation for people to come through your doors and enjoy the warm, clear waters. That means regular maintenance, proper pH balance, and ensuring the lounge area is as welcoming as a warm hug, with the help of commercial pool cleaning services, is essential and will not only attract families looking to splash around but also sun-seekers aiming to perfect their tan lines. Remember, a picture of your pool on social media should be viral (for the right reasons).
- Create Instagram-Worthy Spaces
In today’s digital age, if your hotel can’t make it to Instagram, is it even worth visiting? Transform parts of your hotel into selfie spots. Think quirky artwork, a stunning mural, or even a uniquely themed room. Provide the perfect backdrop and watch as guests do the marketing for you, one selfie at a time. #HotelGoals anyone?
- Rev Up the Wi-Fi
Let’s face it, in the era of streaming and incessant scrolling, slow Wi-Fi is the ultimate turn-off. Ensure your Wi-Fi is not just available but as fast as the room service. Making guests feel at home with tech-friendly amenities can turn a one-time visitor into a loyal customer. Plus, no one likes to see their favorite show buffer right at the cliffhanger!
- Experience More Than Sleep
Guests are looking for experiences, not just a place to crash. Whether it’s a rooftop movie night, a cooking class featuring local cuisine, or even a guided tour of hidden city gems, offer activities that enrich their stay. Make your hotel a hub of experiences that provide guests more value for their buck and stories for their social feed.
- Pet-Friendly Perks
With more travelers opting to bring their furry friends along, having a pet-friendly policy could be the deciding factor for many guests. Offering pet beds, complimentary treats, and having a pet play area are small gestures that show big heart. Plus, who wouldn’t want to see a parade of cute pets trotting through the lobby?
- Localize the Lobby
Give your guests a taste of the locale right as they step in. Local art, products in the gift shop, even the lobby music can reflect the culture and vibe of the area. It’s about creating a memorable, immersive experience that starts right at check-in and makes guests feel they’ve truly arrived somewhere special.
- Feedback is Your Friend
Lastly, actively seek out feedback and make visible changes based on it. When guests see their suggestions come to life, they feel valued and are more likely to become repeat customers—and share their positive experiences with others.
Time to ensure that every room is occupied.
