Concierge Left Luggage Handover Procedure  

Left Luggage Handover Procedure:

  • There is a designated luggage room where guests may store their luggage during their stay or until their next stay or visit.
  •  Documented evidence exists for luggage control /storage & return items stored are tagged individually.
  •  The Concierge team member will write the name, room number, and pick-up date on the tag.
  •  A tag is issued, showing individual receipt number and baggage details which are handed over to the guest.
  •  Always hand over luggage carefully as per the guest’s instructions.
  •  All guest luggage and other guest items are to be stored and handed over securely.
  •  Receive the luggage tag from the guest for verification.
  •  Identify and verify that the tag corresponds to the details in the logbook.{loadposition amp-mid}
  •  Ask the guest for a brief description of the luggage.
  •  Evidence exists to show that luggage is only released upon receipt of a valid and matching luggage tag.
  •  The receptionist will take both tags, from the luggage as well as from the guest, and throw them away.
  •  If a guest does not have a luggage tag, you will let the Front Desk Manager handle it.
  •  Guests and porters do not have direct access to the luggage room.
  •  For security reasons, normally all hotels do not allow left luggage facilities for non-hotel guests.
  •  Handover the luggage to the guest as per the concierge standard procedure.
  •  In case of delivery, fill out the acknowledgement receipt.
  •  File the acknowledgement receipt in the file after delivery.
  •  Take the receiving signature on the counter receipt section of the left luggage or luggage storage form.
  •  Inform the Chief concierge that the task is completed.
  •  Always check/verify the details and then only handover the luggage.
