Turndown service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the hospitality industry, turndown service refers to the practice of staff entering a guest's room and "turning down" the bed linen of the bed in the room, allowing the weary guest to forego removing the duvet and instead just "glide in under the sheets."[1] An item of confectionery such as a chocolate[2] or a mint[3] is typically left on top of a pillow in the bed that has been "turned down".

Some hotels have more elaborate turndown services, such as bed-time stories for children and cocktails served to young couples.[4]
