Hospitality and Lodging Equipment

Keep your lodging business running smoothly with hospitality supplies
By Lorri Mealey, Owner The Boiler Room Restaurant Hospitality supplies are the backbone of a good hotel or motel. Everything from guest amenities to maintenance equipment is needed to keep a hotel in good running order. If you are preparing to open a new hotel or motel, or seeking to remodel, there are many companies that offer everything from bed linens to furniture to maintenance equipment.

Hospitality equipment extends beyond guests rooms. The lobby, maintenance area, dining area and gift shop all require lodging supplies. Outfitting a hotel or motel requires that you go beyond bedding and bath towels.

Hotel equipment includes:

1. Furniture
2. Linens
3. Guest amenities
4. Cleaning supplies

Add style to guest rooms with hotel equipment

There are several companies that offer quality furnishings for hotel and motel rooms. Bed frames, desks, tables, chairs and dressers should all match, for a clean, uniform look. Select bedding and curtains that go with the rest of the hotel décor.
Try:  Hospitality Designs offers a variety of discounted hotel furnishing to fit any décor or theme. You can find more hospitality equipment at United Products, Inc., which carries hotel supplies ranging from beds and bedding to ice buckets and coffee makers.

Keep guest rooms welcoming with quality hotel supplies

A guest room should be a home away from home. Adding the little touches, like personal care items, small appliances and other guest amenities will make guests feel welcomed. Good quality bedding is also essential to guests' comfort. Look for high thread counts in sheets and towels and plump pillows and mattresses.
Try:  Stock your guest bathrooms with personal care kits from Minimus.biz. Linen Company carries an extensive line of bed and bath linens for hotels and motels, guaranteed to stand up to heavy duty wear and tear. A&S Supplies is another vendor of fine hotel bedding and other motel supplies. Top Hotel Supply, Inc carries wholesale hotel supplies, from luggage racks to alarm clocks.

Keep hotel rooms safe

Nothing will deter return business faster than guest rooms that are not deemed safe. Ensure that your guests have peace of mind during their stay with secure door locks. Keyless locks and hotel card locks are a good step in preventing theft to a guest's belongings.
Try:  Lockchoice.com and MagLocks.com are two leading hospitality suppliers of hotel card locks.

• Simplify your purchasing hotel furnishings and linens in one style from hospitality suppliers. This is will prevent mismatched items from ending up in the same room.
