Where Does a Luxury Experience Begin and End?
Share
While most luxury resorts, spas and country clubs pride themselves on creating extraordinary guest experiences, there seems to be a disconnect as to when this experience should begin and end. Does your staff begin to anticipate a guest’s unexpressed needs the moment they click onto your website to place a reservation or the second they walk through your swift, rotating doors? Does the experience end as soon as they check out of their room or with the courtesy email they receive once they’ve returned to their own home?
In today’s globalized hospitality industry, there is an international standard of luxury that travelers have come to expect at every resort they visit all around the world. These standards include:
- A visually stunning, impeccably clean property with elegant decor, manicured gardens and state-of-the-art facilities
- Luxurious furnishings and amenities in the guest rooms, including king sized beds and artisanal toiletries
- Outstanding dining options
- Warm greetings from staff members whenever and wherever the guest encounters them
- Discreet cleaning and property maintenance
- Efficient and personalized customer service and care
- Complimentary gifts that make the guest feel special, such as a glass of bubbly upon arrival or homemade chocolate chip cookies on the guests’ bedside table at turndown
