Hotel pre-arrival email prompt
A copy-and-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini that gets a professional hotel pre-arrival email on the first try, plus the cheapest model that does it well.
What most people type
pre-arrival email for guests at our boutique hotel, check in is 3pm, parking is $25/night, we have a rooftop bar
It works, but the AI has to guess your hotel name, guest first name and early check-in or late arrival policy, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.
The better prompt
Write a pre-arrival email to guests of our boutique hotel, sent before their stay. Warm, welcoming, and concise. Include these facts exactly: - Check-in is at 3pm. - Parking is $25/night. - We have a rooftop bar. Also include placeholders where a guest would need them: [hotel name], [guest first name], [early check-in or late arrival policy], [check-out time], [hotel address and contact number], [rooftop bar hours], [how to book parking, if needed], and [one personal touch, such as a local tip or welcome offer]. Don't invent any policies, amenities, or offers. Format: 2-3 subject line options with preview text, then a short email body (about 150 words) with a friendly greeting and a sign-off from [sender name and role]. Use one primary call to action: [e.g., complete online pre-check-in or reply with arrival time]. Mention the rooftop bar as a secondary highlight, not a second call to action.
Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: hotel name, guest first name, early check-in or late arrival policy, check-out time, hotel address and contact number, rooftop bar hours, how to book parking, if needed, one personal touch, such as a local tip or welcome offer and a few more.
