How the coverage connects to the operation
Hospitality accounts combine buildings, guests, employees, amenities, contracts, and around-the-clock operations. Underwriters commonly need construction, protection, occupancy, renovation, revenue, and amenity details for every location.
For this coverage conversation, describe what the business does, where it works, who performs the work, what property or vehicles are involved, and which contracts or customers create insurance requirements. Those facts are more useful than relying on a business title alone.
Rhode Island context
Coastal storms, flood, older construction, compact service areas, tourism, and high-value property can influence insurance planning.
Geography and state oversight are part of the review, but they do not replace account-specific underwriting. Policy forms and availability can differ by insurer and state.
Questions to discuss
- Are any portions leased to third-party operators?
- What are the construction, roof, wiring, plumbing, and renovation details?
- Which amenities, food service, alcohol, or transportation are offered?
- What are average occupancy and annual room revenue?
Details to prepare
- Statement of values and property construction details
- Room count, occupancy, revenue, and amenity schedule
- Management, franchise, vendor, and lease agreements
- Protection systems, inspection records, and loss runs
