Why do hotels need insurance?

If you’re running a hotel, you’ve probably perfected the art of making your guests feel welcome. From the services and activities you offer, to every little finishing touch, you do a lot behind the scenes to make your customers experience as pleasant as possible. However, in the operation of your hotel, there are many things that could go wrong that could lead to significant financial difficulty for you. Whether a client alleged your negligence caused them an injury, or a storm caused damage to your premises, events such as these can quickly escalate and bring with them unexpected burden. It’s therefore important you consider insurance for your hotel to ensure you can keep the lights on even if you do experience such events.

What insurance do Hotels need?
Public Liability

Public Liability Insurance helps protect your business against liability for third-party personal injury or property damage arising out of your business activities. For example, if a customer or visitor was to slip and fall while on your business premises, you would look to this policy to cover the claim.1

While these events may seem rare, if they do occur, the financial impacts can be very significant. As a hospitality business, your business likely has significant interaction with customers, therefore Public Liability is a crucial cover to consider for your business.

Business Insurance is designed to protect your business and its assets (including equipment) against certain unexpected events. Business Insurance is made up of a number of cover sections, and you can choose the sections that relate to your business. For example it can include cover for damage to business premises and/or equipment caused by fire, storm, theft and other insured events. Cover is also available for damage to money (if you keep cash on premises), and machinery or equipment breakdown (often critical for poker machines).1  

A key part of this policy is Business Interruption, which can provide protection for lost revenue in the event your business is unable to operate as usual due to an insured peril.
