by admin May 11, 2022

Booking a hotel can be both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. Every time you step foot in the lobby, you curiously look around to reassure yourself that you made the right choice. But when you’re bathed in smiles after being showered with kind and cheerful words, you know your stay just went from great to excellent.

The customer is king in the hospitality industry, and that’s why so many hotels go out of their way to give their visitors a sense of a never-ending adventure. Whether it’s genius yet simple solutions, hilarious pop culture references, or genuine acts of kindness, these gestures make people feel special and let them leave the place with the best memories ever. And fortunately, these efforts do not go unnoticed.

Today’s post is all about celebrating creative hotels and their staff who surprised their guests and took their experience to a whole other level. We at Bored Panda scoured far and wide across the web to bring you a collection of pictures that show how some hotels really deserve to be in the spotlight. So sit back, relax, and tell us what you think about them in the comments! Then, if you’re in the mood for some more hotel goodness, check out our earlier pieces right here, here, and here.
