Your guests are supposed to feel at ease; after all, if there are any problems, it is to the room service that they will direct their questions.
Questions in English.
No one requires them to have advanced level English, just knowledge of basic business phrases.
This is not the end of the linguistic problems.
Also, remember to prepare your conference materials in the language of the guest (usually only English is sufficient).
A visitor from Thailand is unlikely to learn anything from Polish catalogs and flyers, and the whole material will end up in the trash.

Translator
If your hotel does not have audio equipment with a translator (voiceover), you must hire interpreters.
They can be discreet chaperones to foreign visitors, and can also appear alongside speakers and translate their specialized speeches.
If Spanish- or German-speaking guests are attending an international conference at the hotel, the presence of an interpreter from the respective language is mandatory.
