Hotel & Tourism
Legal advice for hotel owners and operators: management and brand agreements, site activities, booking and refund terms, and guest handover.
Who runs the hotel?
The owner, operator, brand, booking platform and suppliers may be different companies. Identify who sets rates, hires staff, delivers the stay and answers complaints. Read the management, franchise, lease and supplier terms together rather than treating a shared front desk or logo as a shared legal duty.
Check each site and activity
List accommodation, food, events, travel services and online bookings for the actual address. Compare property documents and insurance with the operating plan. Forming a company or clearing one use of a building does not answer whether every additional service is covered. Check current requirements locally before promising an opening or expansion date.
Follow a booking through the system
Test a guest journey from quoted price and confirmation to payment, changes, cancellation and refund. Which party sees identity or payment data, receives funds, makes the refund decision and tells the guest? Compare website and platform terms with system permissions and preserve what the guest was shown.
Prepare the next operator's handover
A change of manager or brand leaves confirmed stays, vouchers, staff, suppliers and guest records. Assign notices, refunds, record exports and access before shutting off the old system. Reassess site-specific operating, labor and data questions in the relevant jurisdiction.
