Why is it that hot water in a hotel comes out instantly but
at home it takes time?

Answer Posted / lenny

I think the answer lies around probability rather than
customer's unwillingness to wait.

At home, the plumbing system sits mostly idle, so water in
pipes looses heat. Since at home you have quite a small
number of people, probability that someone used hot water
recently enough is very small. Hence, usually you have to
wait for water to make its way from water heater to your faucet.

In hotel, number of people utilizing the plumbing system is
much larger. As the number of users of the system
increases, so is the chance that it was used recently
(basically the Infinite Monkey Theorem). For large enough
hotel occupancy, use of water system becomes nearly
continuous or at least frequent enough to prevent
substantial loss of heat in the pipes. Hence in large
enough hotel (with large enough occupancy rate) hot water
would be more readily available.
