Who checks in a guest at a hotel?

It usually takes place at hotel reception. During this process, the receptionist checks the data, the hotel voucher if it is the case, and guests are assigned to a hotel room and give them a room key or access card. If they have luggage, they are taken to their room.

In places where hotels are required to register their guests with the local authorities, they will ask for the ID of all guests. Hence all guests might not need to be present to check-in, but their ID's will. Other hotels might just ask for one ID. This is assuming that all guests begin their stay on the same night.

Most hotels will be happy to note down the name of the second guest and allow them to check-in upon arrival. Many hotels also don't bother following up about the arrival of the “first guest”, and even if they do, they usually only ask that the first guest shows up at the front desk as a courtesy.
