Looking to reduce stress when hosting travelers, I sought out Hampton Hotels entertaining expert, Jenny Steffens Hobick, to get her top 3 tips for hosting travelers this holiday season. Below I’ve noted Jenny’s 3 Tips for Hosting Travelers, and a #Giveaway, to help you create your own special moments!
Tip 1: Be the best OFF-SITE host ever…
Let’s be honest. You love your friends and family, but cramming everyone into your home for a few days can be stressful, especially for those who work from home or have limited space. If you don’t have enough room to host all of your holiday guests, or you just think everyone would be happier with their own, comfortable space, consider booking them at your local Hampton. With more than 1,900 locations, Hampton is the perfect place to stay no matter where your guests may be traveling from.
Tip 2: Be prepared with lots of snacks
We all get a little grouchy when we’re hungry – adults and kids alike! Anticipate those moments by having snacks planned for afternoons and before dinner to keep everyone happy. Be sure to include fresh options like fruit and crunchy veggies, along with filling cheeses and more decadent treats so you have something for everyone!
Tip 3: Surprise your guests with welcome treats
I always like to make sure my guests know how excited we are to have them for a visit by surprising them with a little treat when they arrive. One of my favorite ways to greet them is with something personalized with their name on it, like a decorated sugar cookie or a festive welcome sign. I love staying at Hampton Hotels because they take a similar approach. They can add a personal touch for a guest’s stay by offering a favorite local snack or fun local item when guests check in.
