5. Room Humidifiers for Winter Air Comfort
Winter air can be dry and uncomfortable, especially in regions with harsh climates. Room humidifiers add moisture to the air, helping guests avoid dry skin, sore throats, and other issues associated with winter dryness. Compact, quiet humidifiers can make a significant difference in guests’ comfort levels and help them feel refreshed throughout their stay.
Recommended items:
- Compact room humidifiers
- Essential oils (if permitted), such as eucalyptus or lavender, for added relaxation
6. Fireplace or Virtual Fireplace Ambiance
For hotels with fireplaces, this feature can be a standout attraction in the winter months. Arrange seating areas with comfortable armchairs and blankets for guests to relax by the fire. If fireplaces are not available, consider a virtual fireplace on the in-room television or smart device. This touch can help create a warm ambiance, even without an actual flame.
Recommended items:
- Fireplaces in lobbies or common areas (if possible)
- Virtual fireplace ambiance available on in-room TVs
7. Outdoor Winter Gear for Guests
For hotels in colder regions, consider offering outdoor winter gear that guests may not have packed. Items like umbrellas, scarves, gloves, and snow boots can be made available for rental or as complimentary amenities. These extras can be particularly helpful for guests who might not be accustomed to colder climates and make outdoor excursions more enjoyable.
Recommended items:
- Rental or complimentary scarves, gloves, and umbrellas
- Snow boots and jackets for snowy destinations
8. Winter-Inspired Welcome Gifts
Welcome gifts create a memorable first impression, especially if they’re tailored to the season. Warm treats like hot cocoa mix, seasonal teas, or even a small bottle of spiced wine can make guests feel special. Alternatively, offer locally sourced winter treats or cozy socks as a charming gesture that adds a personal touch to their stay.
Recommended items:
- Hot cocoa mix or seasonal teas
- Locally sourced winter snacks
- Cozy welcome gifts, like socks or blankets
9. In-Room Entertainment and Relaxation Options
During winter, guests often spend more time indoors. Enhance their in-room experience with entertainment options like streaming services, board games, and books. For added relaxation, consider providing aromatherapy kits or relaxation items such as eye masks and calming music playlists. These small touches allow guests to unwind and feel rejuvenated.
Recommended items:
- Streaming services for movies and shows
- Selection of books or magazines
- Aromatherapy kits and relaxation aids
10. Promote Onsite Amenities for Indoor Leisure
Winter weather can deter guests from venturing out, so promote onsite amenities that offer comfort and relaxation. If your hotel has a spa, pool, or wellness center, create winter-specific packages and encourage guests to indulge in indoor relaxation. Provide details about cozy lounges, indoor activities, or themed events happening onsite to help guests fully enjoy their winter stay.
Recommended items:
- Winter-themed spa packages (hot stone massages, aromatherapy)
- Special events or activities in common areas
- Comfortable lounging areas with blankets and seating
