Industry Code: 87503
Hotels, motels and cabins are establishments that provide overnight or temporary accommodation for the convenience of the travelling public.
Operation Details:
Hotels/motels offer sleep and bath facilities and a host of hospitality services such as restaurant, dining lounge, lounge, tavern, gift/novelty/convenient store, convention and meeting rooms, cabaret rooms, swimming pool, etc. Hotel rooms are typically accessible only through a main lobby and may be multi-floored buildings with elevators; motor hotels may provide separate room access. Hotels may have extensive convention, meeting and banquet facilities.
Motels are usually walk-up buildings and have no central lobby. Therefore, suites are accessed directly from the perimeter parking area. Motels may offer kitchenettes where the travelling public can prepare their own meals.
Cabins are usually self-contained and are separate from one another. A restaurant, cafe or store may be part of the cabin operation, and some of the other amenities may be similar to the hotel and motel operation.
Motel and cabin operations may provide secondary provisions such as R.V. sites for rent, trampolines, arcades, swimming pools and other leisure and recreational activities.
Convention Centers include food services and are operated for public and private functions such as seminars, weddings, craft and trade shows, speaking engagements, etc. These facilities usually provide services for large numbers of people.
All employers in this industry (motels, hotels and convention centres) are subscribers of the Alberta Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA). Safety associations represent the interests of employers and promote workplace safety through education and other initiatives. Improved workplace safety can result in fewer claims and help lower premiums. A portion of premiums collected is allocated to the association to support these initiatives.
Underwriting Considerations:
Bed and breakfast operations are classified in this industry. Hostels provide low cost, or free temporary accommodations for the transient public and are classified in industry 87510. Apartment hotels provide longer term accommodations and do not provide food services, but provide housekeeping. Apartment hotels are also classified in industry 87503.
Businesses operating "truck stops" are now offering combined amenities such as hotel, restaurant/bar/pub, convenience store, gas bar, liquor store, car/truck wash, mechanical/lube services, any combination of the preceding, or other services not mentioned. Depending on the combined amenities, scope of services, and purpose of business, the assigned industry could differ from 87503 or may require more than one industry. Contact Underwriting for direction.
Artists, entertainers or performers who wish to apply for their own coverage are classified in industry 85914.
