Holiday Tips - hotels
 

I know I've seen this discussed before but I just can't seem to get search to find the right thread(s). Please feel free to point me in the right direction (or offer some suggestions).

I'd like to give a tip to a couple of hotel club/concierge attendents. A general search seems to point to cash being the way to go and I want to see if that still seems appropriate (especially for the holidays). Other thoughts? Like gift cards (anything specific)? I'm in DC. The club room already has Starbucks coffee, so that doesn't seem right.

Thanks.

My experience is that, if given a choice, their preferred tip would be cash. YMMV. I'd put it in an appropriate holiday-themed card with a note of thanks and a signature.

I wonder if there are any concierges/former concierges in our midst who would care to comment on this.
