Posted on 3 June, 2022

As a hotel business owner, you may be looking for straightforward methods of preparing your hotel for the summer season. The summertime is generally a peak tourist season and could bring heightened revenue, so having the proper hotel prep for summer in place is essential.

Your Hotel in the Summer

By securing Hotel and Motel Insurance and making a few other vital tweaks, you could have your hotel ready for your summer guests in no time. Here’s what to do.

Make Internal Tweaks to the Hotel for the Summer Climate

Keeping your guests cool and comfortable is key to offering top-notch summer services. You may need to make a few internal tweaks to your hotel to accomplish this. Fortunately, you likely won’t need to budget a fortune to adapt your hotel to the summer climate. You can start simply by taking the following steps:

Check that the air conditioning is functioning well
Install mosquito screens on doors and windows
Offer chilled water bottles at reception for all guests
Swap the décor out to light, bright colors

Protect the Hotel With Insurance and Promote the Hotel on Your Website

Once you’ve ensured that your hotel will be well-appointed and comfortable for your guests, it’s time to secure your safety net and start your marketing campaign. Protecting your hotel with the right type of insurance and ensuring you have a well-designed and informative website are two key steps to take during this phase of preparations. As early as the wintertime, you should begin to:

Secure appropriate hotel insurance in case summer guests get rowdy
Update the website to attract more peak-season visitors
Create family-friendly hotel restaurant menus to draw in large groups of guests
Create a “frequently asked questions” page to enhance guests’ browsing experience ahead of the season

Ask Your Concierge To Put Together Summer Activity Plans

Lastly, having resources available at your hotel to facilitate guests’ summer vacations can help give your hotel’s reputation a boost and encourage repeat business. To this end, you could ask your concierge to put together recommended plans for activities to enjoy in the area. Make sure to focus this list on activities that are especially enjoyable in warm summer weather. You could start by hosting outdoor events at the hotel every week or keep things simple and recommend family-friendly activities in the surrounding region. For example, you can put together suggested itineraries for guests to visit locally:

Zoos
Botanical gardens
Lakes or beaches
Parks
Ice cream shops
Outdoor shopping areas

Summertime is likely a peak season for your hotel business, so getting everything ready for your guests is essential for your hotel’s reputation and potential revenue. In addition to getting extensive Hotel and Motel Insurance, you can take the steps outlined above to prep your hotel. You’ll be ready to provide summer guests with a top-notch experience with these moves.
