Eli5: How does a hotel always have hot water for every occupant?

In: 1975

Answer 1

Multiple water heaters, tankless water heaters, and much bigger water heaters than you would expect.

Note hotels don’t *always* have hot water for every occupant. I used to occasionally travel to Toronto for business, and one of the hotels I stayed in was pretty nice, but if I wanted an early-morning shower it could take 10 minutes or longer for hot water to make it up to my floor.
