Common hotel contract mistakes

Under-pricing initial contract. Long agreement locks in bad pricing. Get correct pricing upfront.

No cancellation clause. Standard 30-day notice essential.

Same style every week. Client bored; renegotiates. Vary within palette discipline.

Late delivery. Kills relationship. Priority always.

No F&B manager relationship. Contract signed but relationship lost. Ongoing communication essential.

Vessel damage without accountability. Contract should address.

Emirati vs international hotel preferences

Emirati-owned luxury:

Gold, cream, white palette preferred
Traditional formal arrangements
Higher scale per arrangement

International brand luxury:

Global brand aesthetic
Modern minimalist often
Consistent across properties globally

Mixed:

Address Hotels, Emirates hotels blend both

Match studio design language to property brand.
