Amenity Management
Amenity Management is the coordination and oversight of extra features and services that hotels or resorts offer to their guests beyond basic accommodation. This includes managing facilities like swimming pools, spas, fitness centers, business centers, and guest perks like toiletries, room service, or complimentary breakfast. The goal is to ensure these additional services run smoothly and meet guest expectations. It's similar to facilities management but specifically focused on guest-facing services in hospitality settings. Other terms for this role might include "guest services management" or "facilities and amenities coordination."
