Hints for Hotel Guests While traveling, people almost always stay at hotels. It is advisable, therefore, to keep in mind the following: ! The first thing to do is to book a room in advance either by letter, telephone, fax or e-mail. Otherwise you may arrive at the hotel and be told that there are no rooms. ! On arrival at the hotel go to the reception desk in the lobby and confirm your reservation. The clerk will then give you a registration form to fill in and sign. The form is to be filled in block letters. In smaller hotels you simply sign the visitors’ book and give your permanent address. ! At large hotels you may ask for any service by phone. Tell the operator if you wish to be called at a certain time. Call room service when you want a meal or drinks sent up to your room. Call valet or maid service if you need your suit or dress cleaned or pressed. ! Let the hotel management know well in advance the day and time of your departure. Vacate your room before noon, 12 o’clock is the international check-out time. If for some reason you stay longer, you will have to pay for another night.

The Perfect Hotel

 

Imagine that you are designing your own hotel with all the facilities you think it should have. First of all decide on the following:

ü The location of your hotel: beach, city center, city outskirts, lakeside etc.

ü The guests you are expecting: businesspeople, budget travelers, families on vacation etc.

Now decide what facilities you want to offer:

ü Room facilities: satellite TV, balcony or terrace, minibar, air-conditioning, furniture etc.

ü Public facilities: indoor/outdoor pool, fitness center, tennis court, golf course, sauna, children’s playroom, sunbathing area, conference facilities etc.

Draw a plan of your hotel, showing where the public facilities will be located. Then draw a plan of a guest room, showing how it will be designed.

Prepare a presentation of your ideas which you will give to the rest of your class.
