Features of opening a hotel business
First, think about where you would like to open your hotel? Here you have two options at once: the city center close to attractions, or a quiet picturesque outskirts, which tourists can easily reach by public transport. In the second case, the place should not be deserted - shops, cafes, a park - all this should be present nearby. Otherwise, who will go to such a wilderness?
Do not forget that the premises must comply with sanitary and technical standards. All regulatory documents should be in order. During the inspection of the on-site examination, it is checked how the room meets the standards. After that, you should receive a document called "Permission to Place".

Remember, the hotel staff is the face of the hotel. It is unlikely that a hotel can be called cozy if its employees simply do not cope with their duties. Much will depend on the size of the hotel and the number of employees. Think over the list of services provided: the possibility of ordering food, room service, washing and cleaning clothes, calling a taxi, booking tickets.
