Innovative real estate concepts have become an unmistakable part of the Dutch property market. We see a number of recurring themes in these concepts for living, working or healthcare. For example services, community building and hospitality management.

In order to check whether everything to do with hospitality management has been thought of, we have put together the ultimate checklist for you.

1. This is where you need to be

• Is the building easily recognizable for passing cars and pedestrians?
• Is the address sign or house number clearly visible from the street?
• Are the building’s surroundings clean, smart and safe?

2. A smooth start

• Is the car park and/or bicycle park clean, intact and safe?
• Does the barrier or entrance gate work properly?
• Is there somewhere to park my car (electric or otherwise), bicycle, e-bike, motorbike or moped?

3. A crystal-clear route

• Signing is everything. And that starts outside the building. Is the entrance to the building recognizable?
• Is the signage to and in the car park clear? Are all the parking lines and arrows clearly visible? Are there marked footpaths? Are there reserved spaces for the disabled?
• Is there a clear routing shown in the building? Can the user easily find their way around?

4. An appropriate welcome

• Does the host make contact straight away (with a smile 😊)?
• Is the reception area and desk clean, smart and safe?
• Is the atmosphere of the space in keeping with the real estate concept?
• Does the intended target group feel at home in these surroundings?
• Are the TV screens for narrowcasting, information panels, flyers, etc. up to date?
