Imperial Security provides hotel and concierge security guards for hotels, serviced apartments and boutique accommodation across Haringey, covering reception and lobby areas, guest floors, car parks and loading bays. Our guards handle access control, guest and visitor screening, night porter style cover and emergency response, working alongside your existing team so check-in stays welcoming while the building stays secure.
Haringey's accommodation stock is mixed, from smaller independent hotels and guesthouses to a growing number of serviced apartments and short-let properties, particularly around Wood Green and Tottenham, and each type carries a different security profile.
Wood Green town centre is going through significant change, with new residential development, retail investment and serviced apartments arriving alongside the existing high street and shopping centre, while Tottenham continues to see high visitor numbers on match days at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both trends bring more short-stay guests, more unfamiliar visitors moving through lobbies and communal areas, and more pressure on hotels and concierge operations to manage access properly rather than relying on front-of-house staff alone.
For serviced apartments and short-let buildings in particular, Haringey Council's planning rules mean owners letting beyond 90 nights a year need to meet visitor accommodation policy, which usually means better management of who is coming and going. Our guards are trained to fit into that environment, checking guests and deliveries in without making paying customers feel like they are passing through a checkpoint.

| What Our Haringey Hotel & Concierge Security Service Provides
Whether you run a hotel, a block of serviced apartments or a concierge desk covering several buildings, these are the duties our guards carry out most often across Haringey.
Access control and guest screening
Our guards manage entrances, lobbies and lift lobbies so only guests, staff and expected visitors get through, which matters most in buildings that mix long stays with short lets.
Surveillance and patrols
Regular patrols of corridors, car parks and fire escapes, paired with CCTV monitoring where it is fitted, so problems are spotted before they reach the front desk.
Conflict resolution
Guards trained to de-escalate disputes between guests, noise complaints and awkward check-outs calmly, without turning a minor issue into a scene in reception.
Emergency response
Trained to act on fire alarms, medical incidents and evacuations, keeping guests calm and directing them to safety while liaising with the emergency services.
Protection for high-profile guests
Discreet close protection cover for VIP guests staying in the borough, including on match days when the stadium draws visiting teams and officials to the area.
Concierge and delivery management
Signing for parcels and deliveries, holding keys for contractors and controlling who gets access to storage and plant rooms behind the scenes.
| Who We Provide Hotel & Concierge Security For In Haringey
Our hotel and concierge guards work across a range of accommodation types in the borough.
Independent hotels and guesthouses
Smaller, owner-run properties that need front-of-house cover without carrying the overhead of an in-house security team.
Serviced apartments and short-let operators
Buildings with fast guest turnover around Wood Green and Tottenham that need consistent access control rather than relying on key safes and video entry alone.
Concierge desks covering residential blocks
Management companies running concierge services across new-build residential developments who need a guard presence alongside the concierge team, not instead of it.
Event and match-day accommodation
Hotels and apartments that see a spike in bookings around fixtures at the stadium and need extra cover on those dates without a permanent increase in headcount.
We also support retail premises and corporate offices in the same buildings where hotel or concierge security is only part of the picture.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Haringey
Wood Green's town centre transformation and the ongoing draw of the stadium in Tottenham mean more short-stay visitors passing through hotels and serviced buildings that were not always designed with high guest turnover in mind. That brings a specific set of problems for the people managing these buildings day to day.
Unfamiliar visitors in shared entrances
Serviced apartment blocks with self check-in often let anyone follow a guest through a communal door. Our guards staff or patrol these entrances so tailgating and unauthorised access stop being routine.
Noise and disputes between short-stay and long-term residents
Mixed-use buildings with short lets alongside long-term tenants generate more noise complaints and disputes. We handle these calmly at the point of contact rather than letting them escalate to management.
Parcel theft and delivery pile-ups
High guest turnover means more couriers and more parcels left unattended in lobbies. Our guards manage delivery drop-off and holding so items reach the right guest instead of going missing.
Match-day and event surges
Fixture dates at the stadium bring sudden spikes in check-ins, taxis and pedestrian traffic outside nearby accommodation. We scale guard numbers up for those dates and scale back down afterwards.
