Protect the continuity of hotels operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For hotels, recovery can depend on round-the-clock lodging, guest services, housekeeping, amenities, food service, events, shuttles, and franchise obligations, as well as timely access to people, data, equipment, suppliers, utilities, and customers.
Recovery dependencies to map
- Room inventory that can remain open after a partial loss
- Temporary guest relocation and franchise response plans
- Utility, laundry, reservation-system, and elevator dependencies
- Realistic permitting, renovation, and reopening timelines
Values and timelines to test
- Guestroom, common-area, building, contents, and equipment values
- Seasonal occupancy, room revenue, and other operating income
- Pools, restaurants, laundry, fitness, event, and shuttle assets
- Renovation and property-improvement-plan costs
Questions to resolve
- Outdated replacement-cost or business-income assumptions
- Restaurants, spas, retail, or shuttle operations omitted from the submission
- Recovery periods that end before full room inventory returns
Frequently asked questions
Why can the recovery period exceed the repair period?
Permitting, equipment lead time, installation, testing, supplier delays, staffing, customer communication, and the return to normal revenue can continue after physical repairs are complete.
What should hotels review after a major change?
Locations, operations, values, payroll, vehicles, contracts, vendors, revenue, and controls should be revisited when the business changes materially rather than waiting automatically for renewal.
