The most important thing that guests are concerned about when staying in a hotel is safety. If families feel like they’re in a safe environment, their experience is automatically better. It is the responsibility of hotel management to keep their guests and staff safe while on the property. It is for this reason that many hotels hire experienced security firms that specialize in hotel security. These types of security firms will be aware of and have knowledge regarding the different aspects of security that need to be covered. These include security of physical aspects, persons, and systems.
Security of Physical Aspects
These aspects of security refer to anything inside, or outside, which can be seen as preventative measures for potential incidents. These include:
- Proper lighting in secluded areas inside and outside
- Proper fencing around the building and pool area
- Installing CCTV cameras
- A security guard at the main entrance to restrict entry
Security of Persons
This includes measures in place to protect both staff members and guests by eliminating the possibility of these individuals being involved in illegal activity. The security firm should check staff members identification and perform random locker inspections. Being an expert in their field, guests who the security firms feels are acting suspect may have their bags checked upon arrival or departure.
Security of Systems
Operations involved in the running of the hotel are known as systems. Some, but not all, of the examples include:
- Fixed duties and responsibilities of staff members
- Record all losses and missing items immediately

- Frequent auditing of the hotel
