Creating the Ultimate Guestroom for Holiday Hosting

Creating the Ultimate Guestroom for Holiday Hosting

Welcoming loved ones into your home during the holidays is one of the best parts of the season. Gathering together in the comfort of your home is time well spent. Making sure your guests are comfortable in your home is the best way to ensure everyone enjoys the extended visit. Prepping your guest room like a five-star hotel will create a welcoming retreat for your visiting family and friends. Read on for our guide to creating the ultimate guestroom for holiday hosting. 

Blackout Curtains

Installing blackout shades will help your guests get a good night’s sleep and stay asleep well into the morning. Your guests will appreciate having a place to rest after a long day of traveling. If your loved ones are traveling from different time zones, this will be especially helpful.

Linens and Toiletries

Having the bed freshly made when your guests arrive and adding extra blankets shows you care about their comfort. Set out a bath towel, a hand towel, and washcloths in an easy-to-find spot, and fill the dresser drawers with extras. Accompany the linens with a basket of toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and more. Leaving a spare robe will make your guests feel like they just checked into a luxury resort. Your guests will feel appreciated and be thankful they do not have to ask where things are located or use precious luggage space on towels and toiletries.

Charging Stations

It’s easy to forget or misplace electronic chargers during the hustle and bustle of traveling. Create a charging station in the guest suite so your guests can have a designated spot to charge devices. A charging-station extension cord also lets your guests avoid hunting for an outlet. Leaving a note with the WiFi password and instructions for connecting to the network can help your loved ones feel welcome. 

Create a Complete Space

An area for your guests to lounge, catch up on work, or take a phone call is essential in every guest suite. A small desk and chair give your guests a place to set up without worrying about being in your way. If space is truly limited and a full desk isn’t possible, a small lap desk can be just as helpful. Add a small notepad and pen for your guests to write

Keeping these tips in mind when setting up your guestroom will ensure memorable holidays for happy guests.
