What Are the Responsibilities of a Security Guard in a Hotel?

What Are the Responsibilities of a Security Guard in a Hotel? Even though many people don’t associate security guards with their work in the hospitality industry, they play an essential role there. Hotels are exposed to all kinds of risks due to the high level of traffic and the open character of the building. There are a lot of guests coming and leaving at different times of the day or even night. They also leave their belongings in the hotel rooms and their cars in the hotel parking. It turns the building into an attractive target for thieves. On the other hand, guests can also pose a risk to the hotel and its equipment. Unfortunately, they often cause damages or even steal small objects from their rooms. In consequence, hotels are exposed to additional costs and can fall short of the usual standard. The security of the building, guests, and employees should be one of the top priorities for the hotel owners. It affects customer reviews and the quality of the hotel. When people consider the hotel to be a safe place, they are more eager to choose it from the wide range of options available now on the market. […]
Business owners need to take urgent action to save their business

The next few months are going to be tough for the hospitality sector. Coronavirus has caused a massive drop in international bookings, with “social distancing” that’s about to drop to zero – or close to. Business owners need to take urgent action to save their business; Analyse everything your business will spend in the next 6 months (plan for the worst case scenario) Negotiate now – ask for time to pay rent, VAT, PAYE, mortgage – everyone! Don’t wait for the money to run out. That’s too late. Calculate your “cash-burn” for the period and what savings you have. Arrange funding for the shortfall now – even if you have to pay higher than normal rates, that’s better than losing your business, and maybe your home. We work with a full range of business lenders, that covers business loans, merchant cash advances and commercial mortgages. Our finance specialists will work with you to provide the funding you need with the best possible terms. Our normal guarantees apply – so if we’re unable to arrange funding for you, we won’t charge you a penny. While it’s safe and legal to do so – staying open might help local communities come together […]

Estillon new expansion

After the new construction in December 2016, Estillon is already in need of extra space – namely, a newly-built industrial hall.

This is the reason for building a new industrial hall across from the current building. And once again, Valeres Industriebouw B.V. will take care of this for us.

Wireless Charging is a Must not a Luxury Advocates Hotel Technology International

Hotel guests commonly bring multiple devices with them during their stay. However many hotels have yet to provide easy access to wireless charging outlets. At best this makes your hotel seem behind with the trend, at worst it can lead to guest inconvenience and disappointment. A recent survey found that almost 90% of people ‘felt panic’ when their phone battery dropped to 20 per cent or below. Yet it’s all too easy to forget to pack a charger! As your guests start to see wireless charging appear in more and more outlets on a day to day basis, eg coffee shops, restaurants, rail stations and airports, they will expect hotels to offer this facility as standard. Stay ahead of the game by offering wireless charging in the hotel guest room and common access areas such as lobbies, lounges and dining areas. Hotel Technology International offers a number of stylish wireless charging solutions for the hospitality industry and our knowledge of connectivity solutions is second to none.

In retrospect: Domotex 2018

In retrospect: Domotex 2018 . Estillon looks back on a successful Domotex, Europe’s floor covering trade fair in Hannover. Estillon was present in a different hall (Hall 11) this year. But because the entire trade fair was organised differently, both our existing and new customers had no difficulty in finding Estillon. Given the visitor numbers of around 45,000 annually, Domotex is a stable trade fair. Unfortunately, moving the dates of the trade fair did not result in more visitors. Nevertheless, Estillon’s sales team made excellent use of the 4 trade fair days to present its product range. Assisted by experienced upholsterer Jason Roberts, extensive demonstrations of the Floorfixx underlay range and various carpet underlays Egalsoft and Best Base Elegance Black FR were given. Naturally, the Roberts tools were used during these demonstrations. Estillon would like to thank everyone who helped to make the trade fair a success, in particular all our partners, the visitors and the Estillon team. Estillon looks forward to meeting you again at the Domotex trade fair in 2019! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us on +31 (0)24 6485348 or send an e-mail to info@estillon.nl.

Quiet room label for hotels

Estillon official partner of Quiet room label for hotels. The Quiet room® Label Concept was introduced by the Sound Insulation Knowledge Centre (Kenniscentrum Geluidsisolatie – KGI). This is the first and only objective quality certificate for hotels in terms of soundproofing. With the Quiet room® label, hotels can generate added value for their guests; The guests are then guaranteed a stay in a quiet room. But with this certificate, property owners are also a step ahead when it comes to selling their properties to hotel chains. Before a hotel is awarded a number of stars, it must comply with the conditions set for this in each country. However, no guidelines apply for acoustic comfort. The KGI aims to change this through the Quiet room® label. In order to determine the class in which a hotel room falls, the KGI performs measurements of airborne, impact and installation noise. If the room does not yet meet the Quiet room® label requirements, the KGI gives advice on what needs to be done in order to comply with the label requirements. The KGI can advise on new products from various suppliers during renovation or construction work, so that this high level of acoustic comfort […]

New Teflon™ Profile Nonstick Coating

Geneva, Switzerland, 10 February, 2017 – The Chemours Company (Chemours) (NYSE: CC), a global chemistry company with leading market positions in titanium technologies, fluoroproducts and chemical solutions, is introducing at Ambiente 2017 its Teflon™ Profile nonstick coating for cookware. Teflon™ Profile is based on a new technology that combines the proven, excellent nonstick properties of Teflon™ nonstick coating with long-term scratch resistance resulting in a coating surface that looks newer longer. This is a desirable feature for cooks, whether they are ambitious hobby cooks or professional users, as they need to worry less about using metal utensils and what the resulting scratches do to the surface. Cookware coated with Teflon™ Profile nonstick retains a newer looking surface even after long-term use. Available in the colours Crocodile Black, Shark Blue and Buffalo Copper, the coatings also add colour accents in the kitchen. The key to this advance in kitchen technology lies in the unique structure of this new, patent-pending coating. Chemours, a specialist in fluoropolymers, has engineered a coating that takes advantage of the performance characteristics of three integrated components. The first component, the primer, consists of the fluoropolymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with integrated ceramic reinforcement. As a basic layer, this provides […]
