How to choose your water supplier for the hotel industry
by Guillaume ZARKAThe water you offer says something about your establishment
In a sector where every detail counts, the choice of water supplier is not trivial. Here are the criteria to consider.
1. Water quality
Opt for spring water or natural mineral water, with a stable mineral composition and identifiable origin. Alpine waters are particularly appreciated for their purity and lightness.
2. Packaging
Plastic sends an increasingly negative message to customers who are aware of environmental issues. Glass remains a classic but poses problems of weight, breakage and storage.
Aluminum offers the best compromise: premium image, lightness, resistance, infinite recyclability. It is a choice increasingly adopted by high-end establishments in France and Europe.
3. Customization
Being able to affix your hotel's logo to water bottles transforms a consumable into a branding tool. Check that your supplier offers this option, ideally with minimum quantities adapted to your size.
4. The range
Beyond classic still and sparkling water, an extended range (functional waters, flavored waters) allows you to differentiate your minibar or room service offer. Functional waters enriched with vitamins attract a wellness and lifestyle clientele.
5. Ecological commitment
Your customers expect consistency. A committed supplier (1% for the Planet, recyclable bottles, optimized logistics) strengthens the credibility of your own CSR approach.
6. Logistics
Delivery times, geographical coverage, storage conditions, order flexibility. These practical aspects often make the difference on a daily basis.
Why more and more hotels choose Drink Waters
Drink Waters meets all these criteria: Alpine spring water, customizable aluminum bottle, a range of 10 references (still, sparkling and functional), a member of 1% for the Planet, and well-established logistics with more than 3,500 points of sale in France.
