Hilton brings back daily housekeeping

The company will begin offering automatic daily housekeeping at its luxury, full-service, lifestyle brands this fall

Key takeaways

• It’s unclear if more hotel operators will revert back to automatic daily housekeeping at their properties, but experts say there are a few reasons why hotels may consider it;
• Hotels may also be inclined to adjust housekeeping policies to meet customer expectations - especially among the higher-end hotels and resorts. Consumers are paying more for hotels, and they have an expectation for what services are included;
• And daily housekeeping policies could help hotels retain staff who may feel overworked by cleaning rooms that have been ignored for multiple days.
