Overview

Hotel safes add convenience, not absolute security. Use layered precautions to protect passports, cards, and devices.

Key takeaways

• Photograph passports; store copies in encrypted cloud/app.
• Use a unique code; avoid obvious birthdays/room numbers.
• Consider a small anti‑theft pouch or cable lock for inside the safe.

Action steps

• Split valuables: carry one card/cash daily; leave backup locked.
• Enable device PIN/Face ID + Find‑My features before departure.
• At checkout, do a ‘safe sweep’ checklist so nothing is left behind.
