Amenities

What are amenities?

Amenities are those welcome products that are offered in all types of tourist accommodation, such as hotels, rural houses, campsites or flats. Normally they are hygiene and toiletry kits that usually contain basic products such as hand soap, shower gel, shampoo or toothpaste, for example, although amenities do not necessarily have to be personal hygiene products (although they are the most popular and best-selling). For example, other products can also be found, such as chocolates, coffee capsules or disposable plastic combs.

What is the meaning of amenities?

It is an Anglo-Saxon term whose meaning implies the feeling of comfort of a guest, something that is reflected in the welcome pack that aims to facilitate and make the stay of the clients of an accommodation more comfortable. For this reason, they are often known as "hotel welcome products". In general, it is always advisable for a hotel, rural house, flat or campsite to offer these products to its clients, either in a basic amenities pack with the right and necessary products or, even, to go further and design a basket containing amenities for luxury hotels, for example.

What types of amenities are there?

Bearing in mind that amenities are welcome products, they can be classified into the following categories:

Bathroom Amenities

Also called Toiletries, bathroom amenities are hygiene and body care products that are usually offered in most tourist and holiday accommodation, with hotels being the most frequent. Within this category, we find products such as:

Kitchen Amenities

Kitchen amenities are usually hygiene and disinfection products that allow a correct cleaning of the room and the entire holiday accommodation. Within this type of welcome products, we find:

Edible Amenities

These types of amenities are quite popular, although they are usually scarce and are offered in small doses. These are ingestible products (solid and liquid) that are offered to customers upon arrival at a hotel or accommodation and, sometimes, are offered on a daily basis. Some examples are:

Stationery Amenities

This group of amenities are usually offered in hotels, especially when a conference or convention is being held in the accommodation. They usually consist of:

Eco Friendly Amenities

Also called ecological amenities, they are a sub-variety of bathroom amenities. Usually, Eco friendly amenities are organic toiletries and hygiene products that have not been tested on animals and have been made from natural ingredients. Some examples are:

Hotel Amenities

Hotel amenities, also known as hotel welcome products, are a series of amenities designed to improve the comfort and experience of guests in an accommodation. Normally, this type of amenities constitute a mix between bathroom amenities (which can be eco-friendly or not), stationery amenities and edible amenities. If you want to buy hotel amenities you are in the ideal place, we offer good prices and packs that can be customised with your brand.

Amenities for Rural Houses and Tourist Flats

Amenities for rural houses and tourist flats usually consist of a mixture of kitchen amenities (cleaning products), bathroom amenities (shower gel and shampoo) and edible amenities (coffee, tea, fresh fruit...).

Wedding Amenities

These are usually products that are offered to wedding guests. In general, it is a mixture of bathroom amenities (above all) and edible amenities. They are usually presented in baskets and tend to contain hygiene and skin care products (shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, sponge, hand soap, disposable combs), cosmetic products (make-up, hairspray or gel, small samples of cologne) and perhaps some edibles (sugared almonds and chocolates above all).

Children's Amenities

Normally they are the same products that make up any amenities kit with the exception that they are usually smaller containers and with a friendly presentation (cartoon characters, animals, etc). It usually applies to bathroom amenities, edible amenities and stationery amenities.

Why is it important to offer amenities to customers?

Hotel amenities are undoubtedly an investment that will benefit your business. By offering your guests a pack of hotel welcome products, you will achieve:

• Make your guests' stays more comfortable, and they will be satisfied with the experience. Guests usually value these details positively.
• It will allow you to build customer loyalty. If they are satisfied with the experience, they may repeat with your accommodation or hotel chain.
• You will get a good online reputation that will make you stand out from your competitors, as those good impressions will be reflected in your guests' ratings.
• You will attract more customers thanks to the ratings and recommendations of your guests, which will improve the financial solvency of your business.

In short, offering a decent welcome amenities pack to your guests will benefit your image and help you get more customers for your accommodation. For example, because containers of more than 100ml cannot be taken on planes, if you include the necessary toiletries in your hotel, flat or rural house, you will be able to attract customers more easily, as this way users will be free from having to look for containers that take up space in their luggage and will opt for the comfort and practicality that you will offer them in your accommodation.
