Hotel Insurance & Guest House Insurance
Hotel insurance is an integral part of working in this area of hospitality. With dozens (or even hundreds) of guests to look after, ensuring they are safe and protected is an important part of being a successful hotel. Your property and premises, staff and guests, and your overall income must be covered if you are to have peace of mind. From buildings and contents insurance, to public and employers’ liability insurance, you can bring together all these vital features into one overarching policy, tailor-made for your specific needs.
What You Need to Know About Hotel Insurance
Do I need hotel or guest house insurance?
Legally, any guesthouse or hotel owner is required to have guests contents insurance, as part of the 1956 Hotel Proprietors Act. However, it is advisable to have a hotel insurance policy in place, to protect you and your business in the event of an accident or a liability claim.
How much is hotel or guest house insurance?
The cost of your hotel or guesthouse insurance policy depends on numerous different factors: Number of rooms, annual turnover, members of staff, whether food is served, the type of building, and whether any events are held at the hotel.
What hotel insurance policy features do I need by law?
If you employ one or more people, even on a volunteer basis, you will need to take out employers’ liability insurance. This will protect both yourself and your employees from costs accrued through accident, illness or injury that occurred during the course of daily work. You will receive a significant fine if you do not have this type of cover.
What is excluded from a typical hotel & guest house policy?
The most common exclusions from these types of policies are accidental damage and theft by forced entry. Due to the frequency of occurrence, and difficulty of proving culpability, most insurers will not cover these risks.
What other notable policy features should I consider?
The following are popular additions that many choose to integrate into their policies:
- Personal Contents Cover
This can be a good addition if you or any staff reside in your hotel full-time and protects your personal belongings. - Legal Expenses
If you are taking legal action against someone, legal expenses cover will claim for financial support and legal costs pertaining to the case. - Loss of License
This will pay out should your license be revoked, ensuring that any assumed income during this time is covered.
