annoncer leur départ


Explanation:
Ce peut vouloir dire 'régler sa note' comme le dit si bien Tony M,
ou bien, dans le cas d'un colloque ou les invités n'ont rien à payer, cela peut simplement vouloir dire 'annoncer qu'ils s'en vont' ou bien 'rendre la clé de leur chambre'...

Tout dépend de qui sont ces "guests".

Bon courage

neutral  B D Finch: Checking out means paying, not just saying they are leaving! Even if they prepaid, they still might have extras to pay (e.g. drinks). Guests who have to check out can only be hotel (or B & B) guests.

  -> You're right, fair enough. I was just considering the option when all is paid by organisers and they only have to return their door key.

rendre sa chambre et régler sa note


Explanation:
D'accord avec Tony, mais je crois qu'il faut rajouter le fait de débarrasser et rendre sa chambre. C'est plus long qu'en anglais, mais il s'agit bien de tout ça!

régler sa note


Explanation:
Curiously, although FR does have a word for 'check in', there seems to be nothing so euphemistic avauilable for 'to check out'!
In essence, this is what it means... with all that implies in terms of vacating their room, etc.

I think in the hotel world, 'régler sa note' encompasess all that is involved in 'leaving' (just like paying your bill in a café) — in the sepcific context here, I don't think it is necessary to go into unnecessary detail, since we can assume that the finer details will be given elsewhere. Of course they will vacate their room... but some arrangements must have been made for storing their luggage in the baggage room, for example.
