"Mastering Hotel Tipping Etiquette: Are You Doing It Wrong?"

As tipping becomes more prevalent in various aspects of daily life, the question of when and how much to tip at hotels arises. While tipping at hotel bars and restaurants is widely agreed upon, there is less clarity when it comes to housekeeping, luggage assistance, and front desk associates. Etiquette experts suggest leaving $2 to $5 per day for housekeeping, $1 to $4 for doormen, and $2 for the first bag and $1 for each additional bag for bellhops. Additional tips may be given for special requests, valet services, and room service. It is recommended to factor in gratuity when budgeting for a trip and carry cash for tipping purposes.
