5 Top Hotel Amenities & Services a Business Traveler needs

The Global Business Travel Association estimates that India has the world’s 10th largest business travel market in 2013, up from 24th in 2000. Seen in perspective of India’s USD 135 billion tourism and hospitality industry, the opportunities are waiting to be tapped. With 90 percent of India’s business travel spend being domestic, propelled by the growth of the middle class and the profusion of business centres in the country, the average business traveler of our times, dubbed the Millenial, is disrupting existing notions of the staid image of the business traveler and the perceived comforts that was thought enough for him/her.

The Business Traveler of our times is very clear in what he/she needs, in addition to the fundamental requirements of superior comfort and a standardised product, and interestingly, is no different from any business traveler’s requirements anywhere else in the world. These are, according to us from experience, the 5 top Hotel Amenities & Services a business traveler seeks out and should be on the high priority list of every hotel in Neemrana, or for that matter anywhere across the world, that caters to the business traveler.

High Speed Wi Fi Internet Connectivity

Internet connectivity is a requisite of the times, more so the life-blood for anyone focused on business and trade activities at the hotel. Blistering fast, seamless connectivity and an extremely high up time quotient throughout all areas of the hotel premises is what each one looks for. If offered free at certain areas or at certain timings, it becomes a great value addition to the hotel’s offerings.

Uninterrupted power supply with universal adaptors/charging ports

This is the age of hand-held devices, and a life that is spent from screen to screen, if you get our drift. Be it tablets, laptops, smartphones, notepads – a hotel room needs to ensure that all these devices, across the popular models to the lesser ones, have sure shot options for recharging them, be it providing multi-adaptible rechargers or charging pods easily accessible to business meetings and venues inside the hotel. Most importantly, there has to be universal power sockets that can accommodate any type of these powerchargers. It is these little getsures that make a sea of difference in service.

A quiet environment that spells comfort and space

Conferences and business events held in hotels are designed to achieve the maximum results via business interactions ain the given time, at the hotel and its related venues of business meetings. It is imperative that these discussions, seminars have a conducive environment to faciliate the business event’s goals. Most importantly, this should also be the case once the participants retire for the evening through the night and in the morning hours as they consolidate the days events and prepare for the coming meetups. Everything that helps in offering a quite, good night’s sleep to the guest should be right on top of the service offerings of any business hotel.

Dining options that offer refreshing fare

Having dining options inside the hotel that offer exotic / refreshing fare – a welcome change from the staid dining options usually offered is a great way of creating goodwill and guest satisfaction. It is equally important that these options are clearly and prominently with the business traveler through inhouse communications so that hosting an impromptu dinner meetup or a quick and quiet fine dining rendezvous is all possible within the hotel. Trust us, it works wonders in the quality levels of service offerings of the hotels.

A 24-hour Room Service and in-house laundry

We would go ahead and say that both of these services have to be on a 24-hours available basis, as it addresses the two most crucial aspects that ultimately influence the stay of any guest in the hotel. Late-night discussions, early morning meetups before the main business events, pre-event huddles, and meetings that run mercilessly through meal times – all have its own degree of influence on the guest’s productivity and temperament during time of stay at the hotel. Ensuring that the hotel has these fundamental services available on-call should be of primary importance.

The above, along with a long list of other services, is a must for any business hotel of our times, that will have its guest returning to avail the fantastic services over and over again, and help the business grow.

Eventually, it adds up to just that – fantastic business that keeps everyone involved happy.
