Is investing in a hot tub a good idea?
Who has never dreamed of sipping a glass of champagne in a private Jacuzzi? It’s a luxury many would like to enjoy, even if it’s just for a night.
Having a Jacuzzi in your hotel can add real value to your property. Why?
For your customers, it’s a shocking argument that could trigger an immediate love affair. For you, it’s a way to stand out from the competition and better fill your booking schedule. So, is it worthwhile for a hotel to invest in a private Jacuzzi for its rooms?
A jacuzzi
how much does it cost ?
How much does a hot tub cost? It all depends on what you choose. There are several ranges of jacuzzis with different options (jets, lights, number of places…) Here are their average prices:
- Above ground : 10 000 euros
- Built-in: 13 500 euros
The installation cost varies according to the model, the location and the accessibility to install it. Therefore, prices can easily climb from 900 euros to 2700 euros. Attention: you must imperatively check the solidity of the ground! Otherwise it will be necessary to pour a concrete slab (100 euros/m²). Do not hesitate to ask your salesman for information. He will also be able to advise you on the proper maintenance of your Jacuzzi (cleaning, changing filters…) or inform you on water and electricity consumption.
You can also opt for a less expensive alternative which is none other than the Jacuzzi bath. Its price varies between 1 000 euros and 3 000 euros. This one is therefore more accessible in terms of price (it is mainly intended to be installed in private homes), you will still lose a little in prestige.
How to make the investment
profitable ?
Indeed, having one (or more) Jacuzzi(s) in your hotel is an investment, but it can be very profitable. Offering a private Jacuzzi in a room will allow you to increase the price of the nightly stay. Your guests will be willing to pay more to enjoy the comfort and luxury of this room. They will surely have to do this in advance, as their reservation schedule will most likely be full.
Indeed, rooms with Jacuzzi are very much in demand. On the net, many articles list hotels with this equipment. Platforms like Staycation can also allow you to highlight this exceptional asset!
An asset for your
hotel's image
The Jacuzzi is therefore a very sought-after luxury equipment because it is a call to romance for couples wishing an intimate setting (discover here our article “target and attract your customers”).
Your guests will be able to promote your hotel and its special room, for example by posting photos on social networks.
You can also promote your room with Jacuzzi on your hotel’s website or on various reservation websites. This will allow you to enhance the image of your hotel and to stand out from the competition.
Investing in a Jacuzzi can be worth it (and the cost!), because it will allow you to increase the standing of your hotel, to have a high occupancy rate for the room concerned, but also to benefit from a nice image towards your potential customers.
Finally, to convey the identity of your establishment, we advise you to create the website of your hotel, an essential element nowadays.
