The fear of the number 13 has even become a phobia for some people, namely
Triskaidekaphobia
(phobia of the number 13).Many people are afraid and keep their distance from this number for various reasons, including simply to avoid bad luck.
Meanwhile, because hotels are often places for foreign tourists to stay, most hotels in the world are built to international standards.Considering the myth about the number 13 and the majority of people avoiding it, hotels in the West and in Asia finally stopped using this number.
If a hotel uses the number 13, it is worrying that visitors with Triskaidekaphobia will experience acute anxiety and discomfort if they stay in a room or floor numbered 13.
That is why hotel room and floor numbers do not use the number 13, especially in western countries.Usually the number 13 will be skipped and just disappear, after 12 it goes straight to 14.
However, this is for floor or room numbering only.In terms of architecture and construction, 13 still counts.The hotel did not remove the number 13, but instead changed the mention of the floor name or room name.
Regarding the fear of the number 13, researchers also trace its connection to Norse mythology and Christian traditions.
In many belief systems, the number 12 often represents perfection—for example, the 12 months of the year, the 12 gods on Olympus, the 12 signs of the zodiac, or the 12 apostles of Jesus.The number 13 is considered to be out of this pattern, so it is associated with imperfection and bad omens.
