Hotel Name Generators
Although this article includes many hotel name ideas, we wouldn’t recommend you copying any of them.
This is where a business name generator comes in handy!
A catchy name is never too far away when you head to the right place in search of business name ideas.
Don’t be a copy cat – spend some time on this as cool names for hotels don’t just appear out of thin air.
We recommend using:
And remember…
The best hotel names represent the overall feel of the place. If the name of the hotel doesn’t match the service, you’re going to leave customers very confused!
For example, it wouldn’t make sense to call a small 20-roomed hotel with basic amenities the Grand Hotel.
Good hotel names reflect the product. They’re catchy, easy to remember and pronounce.
Also, take into consideration the…
- Characteristics of your hotel (owner’s name, facilities, design, history, uniqueness)
- Characteristics of the hotel location (landmarks, special activity, local attractions etc)
These could easily be incorporated into the name.
For example:
- The Turkey Shore Resort
- Falmouth Beach Hotel
- Covent Garden Hotel
- Shangri-La Hotel
Remember: Always check and then check again that the name you like hasn’t already been used thousands of times. In fact, choose a unique name that no one has used before! This takes time, so be patient.
