Making a hotel reservation can be both exciting and nerve-wracking.
Every time you enter the lobby, you take a quick look around to make sure you made the proper decision.
But you know your stay has improved when you’re surrounded by smiles after being showered with pleasant and cheerful comments.
In the hospitality industry, the client is king, which is why so many hotels go out of their way to give their guests a sense of never-ending adventure.
These actions make individuals feel unique and allow them to leave with the nicest memories ever, whether it’s brilliant yet simple solutions, humorous pop culture references, or actual acts of compassion.
And, thankfully, their efforts are not unappreciated.
Today’s post is all about honoring innovative hotels and their employees who wowed their visitors and elevated their experience.
We at Bored Panda scoured the internet for a collection of images that demonstrate how some hotels truly deserve to be in the spotlight.
So sit back, unwind, and let us know what you think in the comments!
