Honoring late checkouts for Elite guests this holiday season at resort destinations. Having trouble juggling late checkout requests when your hotel occupancy is at its highest? Trying to keep the most elite members happy is very difficult this time of the year as this is when most luxury hotels will see the most foot traffic. Rather than immediately denying the late checkout request use these tactics to make the guest feel appreciated and valued. 1. Start with a welcoming smile and let the guest know you would be more than happy to check. Take a few moments to do this as this shows the guest you are genuinely trying to help. 2. If you come to a scenario where you may not be able to extend a late check out due to the hotel being fully committed or your property is stating not to provide late check outs based on various reasons, start off by thanking the guest for being a Bonvoy member (state level). Let the guest know that the late checkout request is based upon availability. This may or may not be the case at your property (resort and convention centers do not guarantee late check outs). Tell the guest the truth on why you cannot extend the late check out. Doing so allows the guest to be more empathetic towards the properties operational challenges. 3. Try your best to be creative, the guest may have more than one room. Try extending one late check out for one room and let the guest know that you are unable to extend for the other rooms. Instead of 4 PM for upper elite members and 2 PM for gold elite members, give them a number in between. 4. Finally, let the guest know that you are there for them and that you value them as your guest. Let them know you would be more than happy to store their luggage while they enjoy the facilities or attend to their business meetings. At Marriott our Bonvoy members matter, they will genuinely thank you for trying and they will continue being a repeat guest. A huge perk of Marriott Bonvoy is the late check out benefit, it is in your hands on how you craft the situation. I hope this small article helped. #marriottinternational #marriottbonvoy #ritzcarlton #luxuryhotels #beginbelongbecome #marriottresorts
