An Extra Hour Every Day

Many large hotels have an executive floor with a lounge. The lounge bundles almost all hotel services in one convenient place. You can check-in and check-out, they provide business support and concierge services and you can serve yourself with food and drinks most of the time. If you spend a lot of time at a hotel, using the executive floor can save you tremendous time worth paying a little extra money.

Choose your one or two preferred hotel chains and become member of their loyalty program. Normally you can expect the following benefits:

• Faster reservation and check-in procedures since your data has been stored already
• Fulfillment of your expectations since your preferences are stored
• Preferred status in case the hotel is overbooked
• Upgrades from time to time
• Special discounts
• Your room usually is kept available even for unexpected late check-in

Ask your company if there are preferred hotels to align your hotel choice with a company policy. In case there is no such policy inform your assistant or other people who help you with your travel bookings which hotel chain they should use for you in future.
