Frequently asked questions

Who should be responsible for completing the hotel compliance checklist?

Assign primary responsibility to department heads with oversight from a designated compliance officer or general manager. This creates accountability while ensuring expertise in each area. Cross-training multiple staff members prevents knowledge gaps during personnel changes and promotes a culture where compliance is everyone’s responsibility.

How can I customize this hotel compliance checklist for my specific property?

Review your hotel’s unique features (pools, restaurants, spas) and local regulations that apply to your location. Add property-specific sections addressing those requirements while maintaining the core compliance areas. Consider your guest demographics and adjust accessibility compliance measures accordingly to meet their specific needs.

What are the consequences of failing to maintain hotel compliance?

Non-compliance can result in substantial fines, business interruption through temporary closures, increased insurance premiums, and reputation damage. In severe cases, you may face legal liability for guest or staff injuries, potential license revocation, and difficulty securing financing for future business operations.
