About this title

Synopsis

Basics of Hospitality Engineering is a practical guide designed for future hotel managers, hospitality students, and professionals who want to understand the technical foundations that keep a hotel operating every day. This book does not aim to turn readers into engineers. Instead, it helps them understand engineering as a managerial discipline connected to guest comfort, business continuity, safety, financial performance, asset protection, and brand reputation. Through six structured chapters, the book explores the role of the Engineering Department, hotel infrastructure and technical systems, fire and life safety responsibilities, engineering vocabulary, renovation programs, CAPEX and OPEX logic, and local engineering team management. Each chapter connects technical realities to executive decision-making, helping readers ask the right questions, communicate with engineers and contractors, defend budgets, and assess operational risks. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book includes operational case studies, key terms, review questions, practical templates, and managerial tools. It is especially suited for hospitality schools, hotel management programs, and professionals preparing for leadership roles. At its core, **Basics of Hospitality Engineering** shows that engineering is not only about fixing what breaks. It is about preventing failure, protecting the guest experience, and managing hotels with responsibility, clarity, and foresight.
