Our car is 3 months old. Doubtful the hotel will want to get involved, but I’ve given the front desk the info and will chat with the manager in the AM.
Thoughts? What would you do?
My car is the blue. I’m also posting the SUV door corner. (I think it posted 90° off.)

You have a few options i can thing of:
(1.) Tell your insurance, maybe comprehensive covers it, maybe collision, maybe raises your rate, maybe not, maybe ticks you down one on your incident #, just depends on your policy.
(2.) Bring it to a (good BMW) body shop & get an estimate. Might be worth just paying out of pocket. Sometimes the easiest way to pay for things is with money
(3.) Wash it, clay it, assess ... maybe just put some sealant on & call it a day or maybe put a little touchup on there. Once you do this, though,
you "own" it.
(4.) Do nothing. You're getting rid of the car in a few years anyway and chances are this won't be your last door ding on it.
