Suitelife for Hotels, offered by Venture Insurance Programs, is a tailored insurance program for boutique and premier hotels. Built to address the complex exposures of upscale hospitality operations, Suitelife supports all-lines placements including Property, General Liability, Umbrella, Auto, Crime, Inland Marine, and Cyber. In addition, mono-line Workers’ Compensation is available for general hotel properties and hotel management companies—giving agents flexible placement options for a wide range of hospitality clients.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
Suitelife targets larger, higher-end hospitality risks: independent boutique hotels, luxury inns, resort properties, and management companies overseeing multiple properties. The program is best for accounts with premium guest experiences, distinctive design or amenities, and exposures tied to food & beverage, events, or on-site services.
Examples of ideal accounts include:
- A 75-room boutique hotel in an urban center with a rooftop bar and day spa
- A luxury inn at a resort destination offering fine dining and event space
Mono-line Workers’ Compensation is available for hotel management firms and general hospitality risks, expanding options when you only need to place that single line.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Key program features that help you place hospitality risks include:
- All-lines package capability for boutique and premier hotels, enabling multi-line placements with a single underwriting team
- Standalone Workers’ Compensation for operations or management companies that require only that coverage
- Hospitality-specific coverages and endorsements such as liquor liability, guest property, and business interruption tailored to hotel operations
- Access to top-tier carriers through Venture Insurance Programs and underwriters experienced in hotel exposures
Suitelife is designed for agents who need a market that understands event liability, amenity-related exposures, and the operational nuances of upscale hotels.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting is handled by specialists familiar with hospitality operations. While individual minimum premiums and retention levels vary by carrier and line, accounts should reflect the size and operational standards typical of upscale or boutique properties. Be prepared to provide detailed occupancy, amenity, and loss-control information during submission to ensure appropriate terms.
Territories and Availability
Suitelife is available nationwide—in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.—allowing you to place hospitality risks in major metro markets and resort locations alike.
