Hotels & Resorts

Guest rooms, kitchens, laundries, plant rooms and public spaces for guests unfamiliar with the premises.

Fire protection considerations

What makes hotels & resorts different

Hotels and resorts accommodate guests who are sleeping, unfamiliar with the layout and sometimes away from their rooms. From Stone Town’s heritage buildings to resorts along the east coast near Paje, properties combine guest rooms with kitchens, laundries, generators and public spaces — each with its own fire risks.

Key considerations

  • Sleeping guests unfamiliar with escape routes
  • Thatched (makuti) roofs and timber finishes common in coastal resorts
  • Spread-out villa layouts and long travel distances
  • Coastal salt air accelerating corrosion of equipment
  • Maintaining service while systems are tested

Typical fire risks

  • Commercial kitchens and cooking oils
  • Laundries and linen stores
  • Generators and fuel storage
  • Electrical rooms and pool plant
  • Guest smoking and candles

Risks and requirements vary by facility. A site-specific assessment confirms what applies to your building.
