Investing in a jacuzzi: a good idea?
Have you ever thought about investing in a jacuzzi for your hotel? Find out how to make that investment pay off!
Who hasn’t dreamt of sipping a glass of champagne in a private jacuzzi? It’s a luxury many would love to treat themselves to, even if only for a single night.
Having a jacuzzi in your hotel can add real value. Why?
For your guests, it’s a knockout selling point that could spark an instant love-at-first-sight moment. For you, it’s a way to stand out from the competition and fill your booking calendar more effectively. So, is it worth a hotel investing in a private jacuzzi for its rooms?
How much does a jacuzzi cost?Let’s get straight to the point: how much does a jacuzzi cost? It all depends on what you choose. There are several ranges of jacuzzi with different options (jets, lighting, number of seats, and so on). Here are the average prices:
- Above ground: 10,000 €
- Built-in: 13,500 €
The installation cost varies depending on the model, the location and how accessible the spot is. As a result, prices can easily climb from 900 € to 2,700 €. Be careful: you absolutely must check how solid the floor is! Otherwise you’ll need to pour a concrete slab (budget around 100 €/m²). Don’t hesitate to ask your supplier for advice. They can also guide you on the right maintenance to keep your jacuzzi in good condition (cleaning, changing filters, etc.) and give you an idea of water and electricity consumption.
You can also go for a less expensive alternative: the jacuzzi bath. Prices range from 1,000 € to 3,000 €. It is therefore more affordable (it is mainly designed for private homes), although you will lose a little in terms of prestige.
How can you make the investment pay off?Having one (or several) jacuzzis in your hotel is indeed an investment, but one that can prove highly profitable. Offering a private jacuzzi in a room lets you increase the price of that room per night. Your guests will be willing to pay more to enjoy the comfort and luxury of that room. They will most likely need to book well in advance, because its booking calendar will almost certainly be very full.
Rooms with a jacuzzi really are in high demand. Online, plenty of articles list hotels with this feature. Platforms such as Staycation can also help you showcase this exceptional asset!

You can also showcase your jacuzzi room on your hotel’s website or on the various booking sites. This will help you enhance your hotel’s image and stand out from the competition.Investing in a jacuzzi can therefore be well worth it (cost included!), because it will allow you to raise the standing of your hotel, achieve a high occupancy rate for the room in question, and also enjoy a great image in the eyes of your potential guests.
Finally, to convey your establishment’s identity as effectively as possible, we recommend creating a website for your hotel: something that has become essential these days.
