Room Safe: Is it really necessary?

Although one might think that providing a room safe is not necessary, today we know that it is a solution increasingly chosen and appreciated by those managing high-level lodgings.

Having a room safe, indeed, especially if integrated and harmonised with the furniture, allows guests to enjoy their stay more peacefully thanks to the opportunity to deposit valuable items such as jewellery, documents, and electronic devices within a secure compartment.

Beyond its most tangible utility, moreover, a room safe tangibly represents the commitment of the establishment towards privacy and security, two very important elements for customer loyalty.

Finally, since hotel safes do not require daily maintenance while guaranteeing continuous protection, this choice can be a distinctive detail that can make a difference without being an onerous commitment.

Hotel Safe: How does it work?

There’s a very common question that grips those preparing to use a hotel safe for the first time: how does it work?

This type of device is designed to be used simply and intuitively both by the guest and those managing the premises. Typically, a hotel safe allows the user to set a personal code unknown to others and usable for the duration of the stay. After check-out, the code is reset with a master or override key so that the hotel safe can be safely used by the next guest.

Hotel safe: Key features

A quality hotel safe is designed to take into account all the needs of the hospitality industry, primarily security, practicality, and design. Here are five key features that define a hotel safe worth investing in:

1. solid and certified structure capable of withstanding several break-in attempts;
2. compact dimensions designed to integrate easily with the environment;
3. ease of use that does not require the intervention of internal staff;
4. electronic opening with customisable code and override system;
5. functional extras such as internal lighting and event log.

Hotel safes: The furniture models

“Furniture” hotel safes are versatile and functional solutions that do not require embedding and can therefore be placed in wardrobes, drawers or other pieces of furniture without the need for structural interventions. This feature makes the free-standing hotel safe perfect for contexts that require great installation flexibility or situations that involve a space upgrade without substantial modifications to walls or surfaces.

Available in different models and formats, a wardrobe hotel safe offers guests effective and unobtrusive protection without compromising the aesthetics of the room.

Despite the installation type might suggest otherwise, the security level of a free-standing hotel safe is still high thanks to the possibility of an anchoring to the wall or the floor.
