Translations:Hotels & Temporary Accommodation/7/en

There is also a distinction between the room and the property. Inside the room, privacy is generally strong and legally protected. Outside it, in lobbies, lifts, and breakfast areas, people are in a semi-public environment governed by house rules and the discretion of staff. Discretion in most hospitality settings is professional rather than absolute, and it varies considerably by country, by property type, and by local norms.
