The Top On-Site Hotel Amenities That Travellers Love

There’s no doubt that travelling is one of life’s many pleasures, with its opportunity to jet set off to a different location outside of your own and dive into all the unique cuisine, culture, landmarks, and attractions it has to offer. When it comes to travelling, a great hotel stay is a big part of the overall experience. So, why pick an average accommodation when you can have one equipped with quality services? Here are some of the best on-site amenities that keep guests coming back again and again.

Fine Dining & Café

The first feature many travellers look for in a hotel or resort is the presence of a few on-site restaurants and cafés. After all, you never know when hunger will strike, and not having options close by can be quite an inconvenience. The benefits of staying at a hotel with these amenities are plentiful; from eliminating the hassle of driving and parking, to easily saving leftovers, it’s no surprise that many people opt for this service above anything else. Before booking, be sure to review the hotel’s offerings in this category to see if they provide your preferred food, so there won’t be any surprises upon arrival.

Casino

Casino resorts are glamorous accommodation options, and not just in Las Vegas! These establishments offer travellers plush suites to rest their heads in, with thrilling games and entertainment waiting for them just next door. Guests enjoy the advantage of having a buzzing gaming floor in close proximity, equipped with all the classic games like Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and the slot machines that one would expect to see in any other type of land-based location. Additionally, because online casinos are becoming more widespread these days, giving people the opportunity to play slot titles in a range of themes and other table games with live dealers, hotels with on-site gaming centres are growing in popularity and demand. There really is nothing quite like the casino environment, so the convenience of having all the entertainment on-site is invaluable.

Wellness & Spa

Vacations are the ultimate opportunity for rest and relaxation, and what better way to treat yourself to some much-needed R&R than with a trip to the spa? However, a ‘trip’ won’t be necessary if you choose an accommodation with an on-site wellness centre. These are common in hotels and resorts, and not just luxury ones. In fact, since there’s a growing trend in the hospitality sector to increase the presence of on-site spa services, even budget travellers can enjoy spa amenities that provide a range of different services and rejuvenating treatment options like deep tissue massages, facials, pedicures, manicures, and the list goes on. It’s clear that hotels with these services upgrade every stay by prioritizing their guests’ relaxation.

For corporate travellers, having somewhere comfortable to work makes all the difference

Business Centre

There are many reasons why people travel, and work is often one of them. If you’re travelling for the job and not for pleasure, there’s a high likelihood that your company will choose your accommodation for you. However, if you are given the power to pick, opt for one with an on-site business centre that will allow you to work comfortably even while away from your usual workspace. These are rooms that contain important equipment like computers, printers, copiers, desks, etc., and that are free to use with the purchase of a hotel stay. Think of it like a small office space that is always there when you need it. And since they are located outside of guests’ individual suites, business centres also help travellers to better separate their work time and leisure time.

So, there you have it! When you start researching a place to stay for your next trip, don’t settle for less than the very best, as a hotel can be much more than a bed for the night. If you enjoyed this article, but are travelling with a larger group, check out these helpful tips that will help you find the best apartment rental for your next vacation period.

 As part of this year’s collective, Loews Miami Beach Hotel welcomes immersive action painter and movement artist, Annika Rhea as official Artist in Residence.

Annika performs at art fairs such as Bushwick Open Studios and Art With Me, and has exhibited work in Box Factory Gallery, Revelation Gallery and Bogart House.

Additional events include the hotel’s Team Member Art Showcase, featuring original works by Loews Miami’s talented staff, a Meet the Artist moment with Derek Gores, Exhale South Beach Spa’s The Art of Abs and a pop up retail experience by Maryjane Claverol.

How to Keep Your Valuables Safe While Selling Your Home

When you decide to sell your home, it's important that you know how to keep your valuables safe during the selling process. This is because you will be letting potential buyers into your private space, and these are people whose true intentions you don't know. Have a look at four effective ways in which you can keep your valuables safe as you sell your home.

Keep Your Valuables in a Safe

Secure any valuables including jewelry and sources of personal information before potential buyers start coming in. Valuables not only include family heirlooms but also tech gadgets and important documents. You don't necessarily have to invest in a large safe, especially when you're moving, but you can typically find one online that's relatively easy to hide away in your property, especially with 1.8 billion websites operating every day. Keeping a safe ensures your valuables stay out of sight and out of reach of potential thieves.

Don't Show Alone

When you have people coming over to see your home, it's great to have company with you. If you're working with a realtor, accompany them so that neither of you is alone while potential buyers are walking around your home. Even realtors themselves may need some caution because the industry may have an unscrupulous one or two who won't hesitate to take an opportunity when they see it. If you're not working with a realtor, ask a friend or family member to accompany you. This will not only improve your safety, but it will also make it easy to keep an eye on potential burglars when there's someone else in the house with you, especially since home buyers tend to go for viewings as a couple or in the company of friends.

Install Security Cameras

If a person enters your home under the guise of buying your property, they'll be less likely to steal from you if they see that you have security cameras installed. In fact, according to a recent study, even the police receive 93% fewer complaints from the public when they wear body cameras. This is because people are less likely to commit crimes when they know they run the risk of being caught. Depending on the person's criminal history, as well, they might not want to run the risk of being charged again. Since 2007, a person charged with a 3rd or subsequent offense in their lifetime can be charged with a felony. This makes security cameras a great asset from while you're living in your home to when you're selling it.

Lock Prescription Drugs Away

Finally, thieves may take advantage of homes on sale to find and steal prescription drugs. They could try to blend in with the crowd of potential buyers and sneak away at an opportune moment while you're distracted by other guests to find any drugs left in the open. Before you know it, they will be out of the door with a bottle or two of your medication. Avoid this by keeping all drugs locked up in cabinets with a key, or even keeping them out of sight in a secure drawer.

When you're selling your home and giving potential buyers the opportunity to explore your property, it can often be nerve-wracking. You want to make sure that any valuables and equipment that you have in your home are safe and secure. Consider the four tips above to make sure that both you and your valuables are safe and don't end up in the hands of opportunistic thieves.

How Do You Pick the Right Real Estate Agent?

Are you looking for a new home in the local area? Do you want to sell your house for as much money as possible? If so, you should work with a real estate agent. Purchasing or selling a home is among the biggest decisions you will ever have to make. You need to make sure you get as much money as possible for your house, but you do not want to overpay for a new home. That is why you should work with a professional real estate agent. How do you pick the right real estate agent to help you? If you are going through the real estate process, learn more about finding the right real estate agent to help you. 

Always Ask About Experience

First, you need to ask about experience. How long has the real estate agent, such as Finlay Brewer, London Estate Agents, been in business? The longer the agent has been in the field, the more experience they have. Then, they can leverage this experience to help you. Furthermore, you need to ask about the types of homes that real estate agent has purchased and sold in the past. Are you looking for a townhouse? Are you looking for a condo? Are you looking for a single-family home? Are you interested in the luxury portfolio? All of this is important. Find the right real estate agent with the right type of experience to help you during the process. Remember that some agents specialize in buying or selling homes only.

Think About the Availability of the Agent

Next, you need to think about the availability of the agent. You probably have a deadline you would like to stick to. You need to find a real estate agent who is available to assist you. You may have found the best real estate agent in the world; however, if they do not have time to help you, this is not going to be much of a benefit. Always ask the agent if he or she has enough time to assist you. Most agents will be upfront, open, and honest about how much time they have to spend with you.

Assess the Communication and Responsiveness

Speaking of timing, you should think about communication and responsiveness as well. When you send an email to the agent, does he or she respond to you quickly? In a competitive market, you need to stay one step ahead of the other people who are interested in a home. You should work with someone who responds to your needs quickly. Furthermore, you need to make sure you and the real estate agent understand each other. If things are getting lost in communication, the agent will have a difficult time meeting your needs. A good estate agent will want to deeply understand your objectives and targets in the market and work to help you achieve them, they'll keep regular communication to ensure that everything works right for all parties involved and let you know promptly where there are issues, this way you can make changes accordingly.

Ask for a Few References

Before you purchase a product or service online, do you take a look at references? You need to do the same thing when you are looking for a real estate agent. You may want to take a look at ratings online to see what other people have to say about that specific real estate agent. You may also want to ask the real estate agent for a few references. Anyone who is serious about winning your business should be willing to provide you with a few references. You might want to talk to these references and see if they had a positive experience. 

Always Ask About Connections

Finally, you always need to ask about connections. After you purchase or sell a house, you might need a contractor to help you. Does the real estate agent know a painter who can help you paint the inside of your house? Does the real estate agent have a flooring professional you can work with to replace the floors in your house? If you need to replace the light fixtures in your home, does the real estate agent have an electrician you can work with? All of this is important for making sure you get the most out of your house. A strong real estate agent should help you with this.

Find the Right Agent To Assist You

These are a few of the most important factors you need to think about if you are trying to find a real estate agent who can help you buy or sell a home. This is a major financial decision, and you need to make the right one. You also need an objective professional who can help you overcome some of the emotions associated with buying and selling a house. If you are looking for someone who can point you in the right direction in the real estate market, you need to work with a professional real estate agent. That way, you can place yourself in the best position possible to be successful.
