Are you wondering why your hotel room has tip envelopes<\/a>? It turns out that hotel chains have hotel tip envelopes, also called housekeeping tip envelopes, for two crucial reasons.<\/p>\n

The first reason is that housekeeping tip envelopes are a convenient way to tip your hotel maid. \u00a0Tipping housekeeping is always appreciated, and in a strong tipping society, guests often want to leave tips.<\/p>\n

The second reason hotels have tip envelopes is to reduce misunderstandings when\u00a0guests accidentally leave their money behind in their\u00a0hotel rooms. While it’s a less apparent reason, it’s arguably the more important from the hotel’s perspective. Why is that?<\/p>\n

Your housekeeper might think that the money you left on your pillow for them while you might have accidentally forgotten it. When you return to the hotel and find your money gone, you would understandably be unhappy.<\/p>\n

These sorts of disagreements can lead to unhappy hotel\u00a0guests\u00a0and negative hotel reviews. As a result, hotels leave\u00a0housekeeping\u00a0envelopes in their rooms. It’s a\u00a0secure way\u00a0for\u00a0guests\u00a0to tip confidently and for housekeepers<\/a> to receive them.<\/p>\n
