English term

per room guest

English to French Other Tourism & Travel
Get ready for this unique experience to one of the most sought-after and distinctive destinations in the world.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the all-inclusive HOTEL that offers a little something for everyone.
This trip comes with a $1,500 credit ***per room guest*** for our people to enjoy the resort’s many tropical excursions and attractions.

Dans le cadre d'un voyage gagné par des membres d'une société.

***par invité en chambre*** serait ma première idée, car les membres peuvent venir accompagnés. Mais je ne suis pas sûre.

Merci pour vos suggestions.

@ Polyglot Yes, that was the whole point of my comment: if EITHER theory is correct, one or the other word 'room' or 'guest' is redundant — which is exactly what makes me think that the writer may have had some other specific arrangement in mind when they chose this curious wording, and which is why Asker really needs to clarify with the customer.
The only pluasible theory I could come up with for having BOTH word in there would have been that the free credits don't apply to some other category of guests, i.e. ones that are not occupying a room... but that seems inconsistent with what little we know of the arrangements here: is it even feasible that this type of roomless guest might exist?

@Tony if your theory were correct, then they would surely have said 1,500 credit per room, without adding "guest". It is the addition of that word that points to it being a credit per person
Tony M Mar 3, 2017:
@ Asker I'd be very wary of guessing here, you really ought to check with the customer!

If it meant one credit for each guest in a room, then they'd probably say 'per guest per room' — then again, if it was really 'per guest', there's no need to mention the room at all!
Or, if it was ONLY for the accompanying guest, i.e. NOT for the principal winner, that seems rather unfair, and also, oddly expressed here too.
I suspect they possibly mean 'one per room' (i.e. however many guests are staying in it) BUT even this is far from clear in your ambiguous text.

par occupant de la chambre

pour chaque personne occupant d'une des chambres de l'hôtel. Par exemple, un couple aurait droit à 2 x 1500 car deux personnes, et ainsi de suite.

A guest in a hotel = un client

client par chambre

Je ne pense pas qu'ils donneraient 1500 dollars aux invités et guest s'utilise pour désigner le client dans l'hôtellierie. Toutefois, je peux me tromper

par client en chambre

Je pense que cela s'entend par client dans une chambre d'hôtel.

1 personne saule dans une chambre double aura 1500 dollars. Un couple dans la même chambre aura 3000 dollars.
