Stress-free atmosphere
The hotel room is considered a space where people want to relax away from routine, run-up and deadline. Due to the clock, there is a habit of seeing time again and again, due to which there is an inadvertent tension in the mind.
Time Zone Difference
Guests visiting international hotels often come from different time zones. In such a situation, the clock time in the room is often set according to the time zone of the location, which can sometimes confuse passengers. To avoid this, the hotels stopped keeping watches.
Maintenance of maintenance
Changing the battery of watches in the rooms on time, setting time and maintaining operations becomes a headache. Nowadays guests have their own smartphones, in which time, alarm and time zones are set on their own.
Design and clutter free concept
Nowadays most of the hotels pay attention to minimalist and sleek interior design. Removing the clock makes the room look uncluttered and more clean.
Fear of bad news
In many places (especially in the US and Europe), research has seen that there were many incidents of suicides from alarm watches in the hotel room. Or seeing the time at night, cases of psychological restlessness came up. So many hotel chains (Hilton, Marriott, HYATT) started removing such watches.
