Pre Arrival Tips To Enhance Your Hotel Stay
Luxury hotels are designed to offer an exceptional experience. With a little preparation before arrival, you can ensure that your stay is as magnificent as the establishment itself. Here’s what you can do beforehand to enhance your luxury hotel stay:
Do Your Research
Make time to research into all the services and amenities the hotel offers. Review their website and read up on the services available. For example, does the hotel offer airport pickup service, late check-outs, have a business lounge you can access, have a Michelin-star restaurant and a bar you eat or drink at. This will help you organise any services and reservations that you require ahead of time and also help you plan your time effectively and maximise your stay.
Let Your Know About Special Occasions
If you’re celebrating a special occasion (anniversaries, birthdays etc.), let the hotel know in advance. Luxury hotels often go above and beyond to make celebrations memorable, often with complimentary upgrades or thoughtful in-room surprises. Always let them know ahead of time about your celebration plans.
Provide Your Arrival Time
Drop an email letting the hotel know your estimated arrival time. This allows the hotel staff to prepare for your arrival, ensuring a smooth and swift check-in process. If you need an early-checkin, ask in advance. Letting the hotel know ahead of time will increase your chances of an earlier check-in when you arrive.
Dietary Needs & Preferences
If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences and you plan to eat at the hotel, again let the hotel know before your arrival. Many luxury hotels have chefs who can accommodate special diets, and they appreciate advance notice to provide you with the best dining experiences.
Contact Concierge Services
Luxury hotels pride themselves on personalised concierge services. Reach out to them before your stay to book reservations at restaurants, arrange transportation, or assist tickets for events and attractions. Their local expertise is invaluable for local arrangements and bookings.
Join The Hotel’s Loyalty Programs
If the hotel has a loyalty program, sign up before your stay. As a member, you might be entitled to perks such as complimentary or faster Wi-Fi, or hotel points towards future stays.
Essentially, preparation is key to understanding what additional services the hotel can accommodate. By taking these proactive steps, you’ll pave the way for an a great hotel stay.
Tips During Your Stay
Once you arrive, there are a few more things you can do to enhance your hotel stay even further.
Upon Arrival
During check-in, it’s not too late to request an upgrade, any room preferences such as a higher floor or proximity to certain amenities like the pool or gym. If availability allows, the hotel may accommodate your wishes, enhancing your comfort and satisfaction.
Also, during the checkin don’t hesitate to ask any further questions, including asking for any recommendations on places to eat or things to see and do, their local knowledge will be invaluable.

Maximize Hotel Amenities
Make full use of the hotel’s amenities. Book a session at the spa or enjoy the hotel spaces that hotel has to relax and unwind – such as as the pool, outdoor spaces and the bar area. Luxury hotels create a lot of money to create superior spaces for their guests to relax in.
In Room Services
Luxury hotels typically offer a range of additional in room services. For example if you need any clothes pressed, a specific type of pillow, extra toiletries, just ask the reception desk and the hotel will do their best to provide and deliver these services.
Ask The Concierge
Throughout your stay, use the hotel’s concierge service to assist you in experiencing your location. The concierge services will help recommend tours, restaurant reservations, cultural attractions and help arrange transport.
