A close look at the latest guest amenities today

Let us now take a look at some of the amenities to expect in your hotel on your next vacation.

Keyless entry

As advancements in the hotel industry continue to expand, more hotels will decide to go for keyless entry. This latest technology will allow guests to use their mobile phones as guestroom keys to help maintain a safe distance as well as minimal contact.

Personalized amenities

In some hotels, they offer personalized amenities for guests. Incoming guests can request individually packaged snacks and beverages that they prefer. This will ensure that everything that the guest requires will be available upon their arrival.

Luxury beds and bedding

As one of the main priorities of hotels all over the globe, providing guests with the best sleep experience is a must. Today, expect more guest rooms to highlight top-tier beds with first-class bedding products to ensure unparalleled comfort.

Clean bags

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, it increased the importance of safety and hygiene at all times even during your stay in hotels. As a way to promote safety, hotel rooms will include a “clean bag” which allows guests to sanitize room keys or phones after passing through public spaces as well as ready-to-use wipes in the guestrooms.

Spacious workspace

Since many individuals stay in hotels to work or serve as private ad-hoc day offices, hotels might feature rooms that have tailored workspaces with adequate space to cater to various needs.

Voice activation

As devices from Amazon, Google, and other brands in the market are growing in popularity in high-end and luxury guestrooms, it might be a solution to limit contact with the guestroom phones as well as making communication a hassle-free process.

Single-use bathroom products

As a safety feature during these trying times, hotels might shift to single-serve bathroom products. The eco-friendly trend of utilizing large bottles for products such as shampoo or conditioner might be put on hold as the pandemic continues as a safety and hygienic feature.

Personalized bathroom kits

Hotels will allow incoming guests to choose bathroom products from a menu. With this approach, it provides guests with more personalization options in choosing the products that they want to use during their stay.

Infrared heaters

A high-intensity patio heater works by heating the air around guests. It helps extend the usability of outdoor spaces as well as seating capacity during cold weather as well as improve efficiency in the long run.

Family-friendly elements

As the need for leisure travel increases, hotels might include more spaces for families to gather. Along the way, there is also a need to add sanitizing stations that children can easily reach.

Child-friendly bedding

Just like adults, children will surely appreciate their privacy when sharing a room with their parents. If a hotel offers the Privacy Pop Bed Tent, it transforms a twin bed or any type of bed into a private space where children can sleep, play, or read, allowing parents some peace during their stay.

Expanded app capabilities

In some hotels, smartphone apps might be utilized to control in-room entertainment systems, lighting, and even the temperature.

Water bottle refilling stations

Guests might find water bottle refilling stations in most hotels these days. Water bottle refilling stations might be a solution since water fountains are not sanitary while disposable bottles are not eco-friendly.

Wellness products

Some hotels are now offering wellness as part of their brand. These hotels offer free essential oils that guests can use such as lavender to help them sleep along with other related products.

Expanding markets

Hotels now have stores in the hotel lobbies that offer sundry and food-and-beverage items to provide guests with 24/7 access to fresh food items during their stay.

Rental bikes

For guests who want to maintain their fitness or looking for a hassle-free way to explore, rental bikes are offered by some hotels. As outdoor activities are making a comeback and guests are finding ways to limit time inside taxis and Uber, hotels might offer bikes for day trips.

Final thoughts
