Hotels aim to provide a calm and stress-free environment for their guests, which is why wall clocks are often left out. When there is a clock in the room, it tends to draw attention repeatedly.

2. Encouraging Guests To Unwind

By removing the visual reminder of time, hotels encourage guests to break free from their usual schedules. The idea is to help visitors fully relax and enjoy their stay without the constant urge to check the time.
