I would use "show" as "escort" can have an authoritative connotation.

Either one would be perfectly fine. My personal preference would be "let me show you to your room."

'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.
