Festive Hosting Tips for Accommodation Providers
The festive season is one of the most magical times of year for welcoming guests. Whether they’re staying to see loved ones, enjoying a winter escape, or celebrating in style, the little touches you provide can make their stay truly unforgettable. At Out of Eden, we’re on hand to help you create warm, cosy, and delight-filled experiences that guests will remember long after they’ve checked out.
Create a Cosy Winter Retreat
When temperatures drop, comfort becomes king. Ensuring your rooms feel warm and inviting is the first step in delivering a great festive experience.
1. High Tog Duvets for Winter Warmth
A snug yet breathable hotel-quality duvet makes all the difference on a chilly December night. Making up guest beds with a high-tog duvet provides the perfect balance of warmth and luxury, helping guests drift off into a restful night’s sleep.
2. Fresh, Crisp Bed Linen
Nothing says welcome like freshly laundered, high-quality bed linen. Offer beautifully presented beds with soft, breathable sheets and pillowcases that feel indulgent from the moment guests arrive.
3. Keep a Well-Stocked Tea Tray & Toiletry Bottles
A comforting hot drink is exactly what guests will expect in their accommodation. Make sure every room is topped up with a selection of teas, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. Combine this with a generous supply of luxury toiletries in their bathrooms so your guests can refresh and relax after a long day out, or ahead of a night of partying!
Add a Touch of Festive Magic
Christmas is all about creating joy, and what better way to delight your guests than with thoughtful festive treats?
All available from Out of Eden, these treats are perfect for welcome hampers and turn-down gifts:
• Ferrero Rocher – A luxurious classic that feels wonderfully Christmassy.
• Peppermint Creams – Refreshing, indulgent, and perfect after dinner.
• Butter Fudge Minis – Deliciously rich bites of festive flavour.
• Dormen Jelly Bean Jars – Colourful, fun, and ideal for families and children.
• Pullin’s Bakery Chocolate Brownies - a decadent alternative to biscuits.
Equip Your Property for Festive Hosting
Beyond comfort and treats, the right practical equipment can make a big impact on your guests’ experience, especially during the busy party season.
1. Chilled Food Presenters
Perfect for keeping breakfast items fresh or laying out festive nibbles. Smart and professional, these chilled display trays require minimal preparation for use.
2. Quality Hairdryers
With guests preparing for Christmas dinners and gatherings, reliable hairdryers are a must-have! Ensure every room has one that’s both powerful and easy to use.
3. Tea & Coffee Service Supplies
From kettles to teaspoons and stylish mugs, offering proper tea and coffee service shows a high level of care and attention to detail. Take your offering up a notch with a coffee pod machine and provide a chilled bottle of milk in every room.
4. Amenity Kits for Those “Oops, I Forgot” Moments
Toothbrushes, sewing kits, shaving kits and more! These small essentials can save guests time and stress, especially when shops have limited festive opening hours.
5. Glassware for Celebratory Drinks
Stays over Christmas and New Year often involve toasts, so having good-quality wine glasses, flutes, and tumblers available ensures guests can celebrate in style. Don’t forget to provide catering crockery too for festive feasting. With glassware and tableware from Out of Eden, each piece is designed and manufactured to reduce breakages and minimise chipping so you can rest assured the range will withstand the rigours of hospitality use.
