While most hotels offer a few amenities, luxury hotels and resorts tend to offer more amenities than your typical hotel.
Here, we’ll explore some popular amenities luxury hotels and resorts may offer to make your trip easier and more enjoyable
Indoor and outdoor pools
Many luxury hotels and resorts will offer guests complimentary access to an indoor or outdoor pool (or even several pools located throughout the hotel). Depending on the season and location, the pool may be heated. Whether you’re taking a refreshing dip, getting in a workout or reading a book poolside, this amenity is a must-have for many travelers.
Spas
Luxury hotels and resorts typically have a spa. Most spas offer massages, manicures, pedicures and facials. Some also include saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools, ice baths and curated relaxation spaces.
Turndown service
If a hotel offers turndown service, the staff will prepare your room for the night while you’re out for the evening. Turndown service can include tidying your hotel room, refreshing your bed linens and towels and turning down your bed for the night. Many hotels and resorts will also leave a sweet treat, such as a chocolate or mint.
Restaurants
A luxury hotel or resort may offer one or more restaurants, and they can even be some of the best in the area. Dining at your hotel’s restaurant can be a great way to try the local cuisine without even having to step outside.
In-room coffee
Luxury hotels and resorts usually offer in-room coffee service as part of their stay. They may have coffee pods, a coffee machine or instant coffee. The hotel may also have freshly brewed coffee available in the lobby.
Complimentary drinks and snacks
Some luxury hotels offer free drinks and snacks in hotel rooms, the lobby or the lounge. Popular options include bottled water, fruit, chips and cookies.
Minibar
While luxury hotels and resorts commonly offer in-room minibars, be aware that there’s typically a charge associated with whatever you eat or drink. Minibars are usually stocked with small bottles of liquor, soft drinks, candy, cookies, nuts, chips and crackers.
Laundry service
Laundry service is a popular amenity at many hotels and luxury resorts. If your hotel offers laundry service, they’ll wash, dry and iron your clothes for you. Laundry service typically involves a one-to-two-day turnaround, and hotels usually charge per piece of clothing.
Business center
Business centers vary from hotel to hotel, but most offer internet access, a quiet space to work, a printer and outlets to plug in your laptop. Some also include computers, copiers and fax machines.
Room service
Many luxury hotels and resorts offer room service. Room service means you can order from a menu and the food and drinks will be delivered straight to your hotel room.
