What Is Hotel Insurance?

Hotel Insurance is an insurance policy tailored to suit the requirements of a particular hotel business. Cover may include, but is not limited to, commercial premises insurance, public liability, employers liability, stock & equipment.

Why Do You Need Hotel Insurance?

Running a hotel poses all kinds of risks. You need to make sure you have cover in case of certain events, e.g. fire, flood, property damage, theft and other unfortunate circumstances, including injury to staff or customers.

Some elements of a hotel insurance policy are a legal requirement, such as employer’s liability insurance (if you have staff), whereas other covers are not. However, even if certain risks are not legally required to be insured against, running a hotel without insurance is considered by many not to be a risk worth taking.

What Does Hotel Insurance Cover?

Every hotel is unique, so you will need to tailor a policy to your circumstances. However, some typical areas of cover that you could expect your policy to include are:

Buildings Insurance

Your hotel is a valuable asset, so it needs to be well-protected. Buildings insurance provides cover against the costs of repairing damage to your building.

Contents Insurance

It makes sense to have these things covered in your insurance when you’ve got a constant stream of guests using your furniture and facilities. Contents insurance will include decorations, furniture, lamps etc., while buildings insurance will cover carpets and walls.

Possessions Cover

Protection in case of theft or damage to a guest’s belongings. Since you may be liable for the loss of property (even when it wasn’t directly your fault), possessions cover ensures you’re covered for the cost of replacing or repairing the item in question.

Employer’s Liability Insurance

This is a legal requirement if you plan on hiring any staff; businesses that fail to have adequate employer’s liability cover in place face fines of up to £2,500 per day. Since you’re trying to run a hotel or a guesthouse, it’s fair to assume you wouldn’t be able to do this without an extra pair of hands. Employer’s liability insurance protects your business in the event of a member of staff having an accident or suffering an injury in/as a result of your business.

Public Liability Insurance

Protection in case a guest or a visitor has an accident while on your premises, designed to cover the cost of compensation and legal fees.

Business Interruption Insurance

Suppose your establishment has become uninhabitable due to damage, vandalism, fire, or any other circumstance covered in your buildings insurance. In that case, business interruption insurance should protect you against the cost of rent, wages and loss of earnings.
