What our hotel security officers do

Hotels are busy around the clock, so we agree your priorities first: who needs watching, when, and how visible you want officers to be.

Entrance and lobby presence

A smart, approachable officer at the door or in reception, greeting guests and noticing who comes and goes.

Bar and function room supervision

SIA-licensed door supervisors for hotel bars, weddings and parties, managing entry, capacity and behaviour.

Night cover

Officers on duty overnight, walking the floors, checking fire exits and car parks, and dealing with noise complaints.

Guest and staff safety

Walking a guest or colleague to their car or room when asked, and responding if someone feels unsafe.

Event and conference security

Access control and stewarding for conferences, launches and private functions held on your premises.

Incident reporting

Written records of any incident, so your managers and insurers have the facts.

Hotel Security FAQs

Do hotel security officers need an SIA licence?

Officers carrying out licensable security activities must hold the right SIA licence. Ours hold a valid licence for the role they work, and any licence can be checked on the SIA public register.

Can you provide door supervisors for our hotel bar?

Yes. We supply SIA-licensed door supervisors for bars, function rooms and events, subject to availability.

Can you cover a one-off event or wedding?

Yes. Many bookings are single events. Tell us the date, the hours and the number of guests and we will confirm what we can provide.

Can officers wear a suit instead of a uniform?

Where the role allows, we can discuss officers in smart suits rather than a uniform. Tell us the look you want and we will confirm what is possible.

How quickly can you provide cover?

We handle urgent requests where we can, subject to availability. Call us or send the details and we will confirm quickly.
