Frequently Asked Questions
What is resort and boutique hotel insurance?
Upscale hospitality businesses with special services and amenities face risk exposures that can differ from other hotel types. Hotel insurance developed for those exposures may help protect against losses related to property, business interruption, general liability, professional liability and more. This coverage may be needed by owners and/or hotel management companies.
Why is hotel insurance important?
Every business needs to protect itself against significant losses of business, but that’s especially true in the hospitality industry, where an unexpected closure or property damage can leave a trail of dissatisfied guests or discourage potential future guests. Liability exposures loom large in this public-facing industry. Hotel insurance coverage can be an essential part of keeping your business running and thriving.
