Why this coverage matters for hotels
Hotel insurance should account for the property, people, services, and around-the-clock operations that make hospitality unique. Commercial property coverage can help a business recover when physical assets are damaged by a covered event. Values, causes of loss, deductibles, and recovery time should be evaluated together.
