| Weird and Unusual Guest Demands in Hotels/Resorts |
Today, is a day where I've ventured in the realm of hospitality biz. It all started with this blog post - A post about Providing Superior Service at Hotel!
And,after that post, I touched upon my interest to inspect and provide consulting for hotel's or resort's online marketing, and operational thing!
Here are 10 unusual and unique requests or demands that a hotel or resort guest might make. The later half of the recommendations are from ChaptGPT. I didn't find it quite wierd, but such requests could be from people with high networth. So, what are the other wierd requests that a guests will have in their mind or will tell the resort or hotel staff?
Get a person of opposite sex or same sex to accompany as a guest in their room
:
There are many lonely people out there. So, the guests who come to your resort many have feeling to share the physical space with another person. Probably, share their stories or just be around with the guest to have dinner, share the bed space, or shower together. Well, it can a bit physical too. or it can be platonic relationship.
Get a Tutor to Train or Teach them on a Topic
Imagine a guest is on vacation and that person is interested to learn a new topic while staying. It could be a yoga instructor, or a mural artist, or mandala work, or just about anything under the sun.
Create a Sex Room or Space for BMSD Fantasies
Guest would like to indulge in different types of sex experiments, or to try out sexual fantasies during their stay. They way ask for toys, bondage items, or create a different set of lighting to create that mood for heightened pleasure.
Photo Shoot in B'day Suit
A guest might want to take a memorable photo by the beach on a full moon night. They would like to hire the best professional photographer in town or in that locality! Is that possible? Probably, the guest are spending their honeymoon time in this resort!
Personalized room decor for a special occasion:
Guests may request to have the room decorated according to a specific theme, such as a favorite movie, hobby, or cultural tradition. This might include requests to keep a theme based photos inside the room, or posters of movie or b'day cake with the imprint of a movie star, or it could be manga art theme toons, or even people dressed in toons design, etc.
Request for Body Paint and Photo Shoot

Exclusive use of a facility after hours: A guest might ask for private access to the pool, gym, or spa late at night or early in the morning.
Custom pillow menu or bedding preferences:
Some guests may request specific types of pillows (e.g., memory foam, hypoallergenic) or custom bedding options for ultimate comfort.Also, there are angular pillows which help in better sex or which causes good support while having sex on the bed.

Completely scent-free environment: A guest might request a room that is completely free of any scents or fragrances, including cleaning products, linens, and air fresheners.
These requests reflect the growing desire for highly personalized and unique experiences during a stay at a hotel or resort.
Pushing the Boundaries in Guest Services
Yet, it’s important to recognize the delicate balance between delivering exceptional service and crossing into the realm of the impossible.
In the world of hospitality, staff are often seen as miracle workers, but even they have their limitations. While they’d love to conjure up a snowy backdrop for your summer wedding or reverse the rotation of the London Eye, some requests go beyond what even the most well-trained concierge can fulfill.
Instead, the most innovative guest services teams excel at offering creative, out-of-the-box alternatives—like suggesting nearby locations for a winter-themed ceremony or curating bespoke experiences that, while not supernatural, are equally memorable.
The Behind-the-Scenes Artisans of Luxury
The next time you see a hotel team meticulously crafting an experience, from arranging rose petals to orchestrating a flawless stay, remember the dedication it takes. These hospitality professionals are the silent artisans behind every luxurious detail, shaping unforgettable experiences—one unique guest request at a time.
It’s a seamless choreography, and hotel teams embrace the challenge with passion, always aiming to elevate guest satisfaction while staying within the bounds of possibility.
