A hotel’s front desk team is often the first point of contact with guests and can make a lasting impression upon them. One of their main job duties is to pass along information as well as check guests in and out. But there are some things that don’t always fit into a “welcome to our hotel, we hope you enjoy your stay” conversation. That’s where hotel signs can play a vital role in a hotels efficiency and also make for a more pleasant stay for guests.

Hotel signage helps guests navigate their new surroundings on their own and can pass along important messages. This can help mitigate repetitive questions and allow the front desk to focus on making each guests’ visit more memorable.

Just about every hotel requires a variety of signs to suit many different purposes. Signs can be used to make guests feel at home, well-informed and even safe. Signs can be used to convey many messages, general warnings or information. Signs help hotels conform to regulations as well as fulfill obligations. And, importantly, signs are an efficient way to convey information without having to say it every time a new guest visits your hotel.

“Many of our clients call asking for input on signage” said Mark Zisek, Front Desk Supply’s Director of Commercial Operations. He continued, “You’d be surprised how important a Do Not Disturb, Conserve Water or Restaurant table toppers can be. Hotels rely upon these signs to communicate with guests and for guests to communicate with them. Guests who checked late in after a long travel day certainly appreciate the ability to put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door and catch up with much needed rest.”
