Hotels can now offer more modern amenities to set themselves apart from their competitors and attract the new generation of travelers who are always online.
People previously thought of a hotel as a place to stay the night. Customers were happy with just a bed and a bathroom. But compared to earlier travels, today's travelers have distinct needs. The quality of the room is the most important thing for business and leisure travelers when choosing a hotel. As a hotelier, you need to know what your customers expect from you, and Ritz Carlton Amelia Island knows. Hotel rooms have an elegant design with luxurious amenities that will make your stay unforgettable. The rooms offer stunning oceanfront views and are perfect for couples or families alike.
This top helps figure out the essential things in hotel rooms
1. The quality of the bed
When someone books a hotel room, they expect to be able to sleep well. The quality of the bed linens is essential. A "mid-range" hotel has polyester sheets that aren't very comfortable. So, bet on sheets made of natural fibers (cotton, linen, hemp…). Also, it's better to give a duvet than the traditional wool blanket for health reasons.
2. Wi-Fi
Almost half of the travelers are willing to choose another place if it doesn't have Wi-Fi. This observation is backed up by the fact that people are increasingly connected and that 9 out of 10 people travel with a phone, laptop, or tablet. The hotel must have a high-speed Internet connection that can be used anywhere in the building.
3. Television
Today, everyone who travels has a home with a high-definition TV screen. So they think that a hotel room will have this service. Because of this, the hotel owner will prefer to put in flat-screen TVs with several channels in different languages, depending on who stays there.
4. Shower
Travelers would rather have a shower than a bathtub in the bathroom. Installing a large walk-in shower in the bedroom bathroom is a good idea. Installing a shower screen instead of the old, dirty shower curtain is also a good idea.
5. Towels
Towels are an essential part of a hotel room and are always there. But there are some places where the quality is not there. Small, rough, mid-range hotels don't have much to offer. As a hotel owner, don't forget to have a set of toilets ready when guests arrive.
6. Storage
Storage furniture in a hotel room is essential to 86% of travelers. For long-stay travelers, it is even indispensable. The hotelier can set up the room with shelves, a closet, or cupboards.
7. Free drinks
When people get to their hotel rooms after a long flight or drive, they are happy to find free drinks. In many hotels today, you can find these services as a minibar. Travelers must pay for everything they eat and drink. The traveler will feel better as soon as they arrive if there is a courtesy tray with tea, coffee, a kettle, etc.
8. Office
Business travelers must have a place to work in their hotel rooms. Thus, an establishment that usually receives this type of clientele is required to install offices in the rooms.
9. Complete mirror
Hotel owners might not think about it, but travelers love having a full-length mirror in their room. The bathroom shouldn't have just one mirror.
10. Lighting
How a hotel room is lit is a big part of its comfort. The hotel owner will use small lamps instead of big, overpowering ceiling lights. People also like to have reading lights next to their beds. It would be best if you didn't forget to pay attention to the lighting in the bathroom and closet.
The hotelier can have difficulty choosing furniture because there are many different styles and materials. Most businesses today offer essential equipment without first finding out what the real needs of their customers are. A hotel owner who cares about his customers will go above and beyond what they expect. Because of technology, hotels can now offer more modern amenities to set themselves apart from their competitors and attract the new generation of travelers who are always online.
