Choosing a good hotel name is an important part of establishing your business. However, there's more to selecting a business name than just choosing something that sounds nice.

Here are a few considerations you must take into account:

Consider your hotel brand identity and target audience

A strong hotel name can help build your brand's identity, encourage brand recognition, and create a good first impression. You want your guests to connect your hotel name with your quality service and excellent hospitality.

When brainstorming hotel name ideas, consider the kind of experience you want to evoke and the audience you want to attract. For example, if you offer an affordable, no-frills accommodation for guests on shoestring budgets, your hotel name should be different from the name you'd give an elite vintage villa designed for VIP travelers.

Pick a memorable name

You don't want your hotel business name to get lost in the mix, but you also don't want it to be so obscure that your target audience can't remember it. It's important to choose a unique and catchy name that will stick with people without going too far into left field.

As you're brainstorming, think of words that conjure up feelings associated with your hotel experience or phrases that align with your brand goals. This will help you create a cohesive business name that catches the attention of your potential guests.

Comply with government naming guidelines

You must comply with state and federal rules that oversee business names. The following are some regulations to consider when naming your hotel business:

• Your hotel name must be distinguishable from other registered business names.
• The name cannot include offensive words.
• Your hotel business name cannot falsely imply an association with a government agency.
• Your name cannot include words alluding to regulated industries—such as bank, insurance, or lawyer—unless you have government approval.
• The business name cannot be the same as one that's already trademarked.

Check your business name’s availability

To determine if your business name is already trademarked, search the trademark database on the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website, or allow LegalZoom to perform a trademark search for you.

Just as you can't use a hotel business name already trademarked, you can't use one already registered with the state. Moreover, your hotel business name cannot be deceptively similar to other registered business names, so you should run a business name availability search to ensure it's distinct. Navigate to your Secretary of State's website to perform a business name search.

At this stage, it's also a good idea to check domain availability of your business name. Having a website domain name that matches your hotel name is important for building an online presence and helping your potential clients find information about your hotel on the internet.
