It is easy for anyone to label their property as 'luxury'. To make sure that you get to enjoy true luxury during your next holiday, look out for the following features that all luxury hotels should have.
This is the easiest way to evaluate the quality of the accommodation that you are booking. While most luxury hotels now allow guests to make bookings online, there are a few that still require a phone call. Despite the mechanism in place, the booking process should be simple and hassle-free. If you need to make multiple calls and constantly check in with the property to confirm your booking, chances are the service you receive at arrival will also be sub-par.
Serviced apartments and hotels both maintain the highest standards when employing and training their staff, especially those who offer the first contact to new guests. These include valets, doormen, and check-in staff. Go for properties owned by Discover ASR for the utmost customer care as they offer extremely polite services.
While the front office staff needs to be polite and efficient, the rest of the staff also need to have high levels of knowledge and genuine enthusiasm to serve you. It isn't pleasant to spend a few days at a hotel where you are forced to deal with staff who are not willing to engage easily.
Luxury accommodation stands out from others for delivering exactly what they promise. If their website indicates that the hotel rooms will include certain amenities and services, they should always be provided. In addition, high-quality bath products are another simple yet great way to test the luxury of a hotel. Spending some time evaluating guest reviews is an efficient way to understand the room conditions that are offered at the hotel. People are sure to comment on this aspect if there have been any issues.
In addition to the room, luxury hotels also offer a range of other on-site services such as a gym, social lobby, referral service, and concierge. These ensure that you can have easy access to services that you need to address any work or personal need. A bad sign is if the hotel demands that you upgrade to an exclusive package to enjoy these benefits.
No luxury hotel is complete without an offering of world-class cuisine. The on-site restaurants should offer both high-quality and diverse dining options for you. In addition, it's always an excellent surprise when hotels have restaurants that offer different styles of dining, a great coffee shop, and a bar. Make sure you check guest reviews to get an idea of the quality of food as well.
This is probably the most important factor of all. Any luxury property should have the ability to address issues that you have efficiently and politely. High-end luxury hotels are usually ready to address the personalized needs of their clientele. This is what makes staying at such a property worth the investment.
