Answer

'let me show you to your room' is friendly and informal.
escort is ok but it is often used by security guards and police etc.
for example, a judge in a court would say to the court bailiffs 'escort them out of the building'

Escort may on some rare occasions provoke a bad response from some people.

much depends on the manner and perceived friendliness of the person showing guests their room.
