Hotel’s Responsibility for Theft Print
Written by Riviera Reporter   

"But the camera's gone!”

Gerald in Cannes asks about the responsibilities of hotels in the event of a guest being the victim of theft. Actually, I've dealt with this before but it's useful to know the answer. 

In brief, the establishment is normally considered responsible in the case of theft - despite disclaimer notices. This responsibility is without limit for articles placed in the hotel safe. It is limited to 100 times the nightly room rate for thefts within the hotel and to 50 times that sum for thefts involving cars parked in the hotel grounds.
