As industry-leading insurance brokers specialising in the hotel sector, we understand the unique challenges you face in protecting your property, staff, and guests. Our tailored "concierge" solutions are designed to provide adequate coverage while optimising costs, allowing you to focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional guest experiences.
For all HOSPA members, Howden will provide a review of your hotel business insurance arrangements.
In the review, we’ll:
- Assess your existing insurance policy, based on your business activities
- Give you a summary of your current business insurance, pointing out any noticeable errors or omissions
- Advise on any specific areas of cover that would further safeguard your business
- Provide our opinion on your current insurance premium and whether there is an opportunity to achieve the same or comparative cover cheaper
- Highlight any restrictive conditions in your policy that may limit your ability to claim in certain circumstances
- Inform you of other benefits we can offer that will enhance your insurance and risk management protections

Case studies
How Howden helped a hotel chain with more than just arranging competitive insurance
A hotel chain operating internationally across three countries had worked with the same insurance broker for 20 years. Over the past five years the group had focused its investment on updating and modernising its portfolio, creating a high-quality hotel collection.
The hotel chain was keen for their insurance cover to reflect this change and Howden was therefore invited to review the insurance programme.
