While upscale hotels have featured their own lines of bath soaps, shampoos and lotions for years, they’ve taken the concept of the spa up a notch by investing in fixtures and amenities in their guest’s bathrooms that you would expect to see only in the finest day spas. Having a number of these upscale eateries under one roof, each catering to a different type of cuisine is also very appealing to the hotel guest and boosts a hotel’s own brand name. The Latest in Technology in Every Room Particularly when a hotel is trying to appeal to the business traveler, having the latest technology at their guest’s fingertips has become extremely important. But nothing says blending in like featuring indoor waterfalls, a blurring of indoor and outdoor spaces by the use of movable walls, picture windows facing garden hotel garden spaces and the creative use of indoor plants of the region.

‘Modern’ interior design back in the 60s was typified by Scandinavian design influences which became famous throughout the world for their clean lines, use of open space, and minimal flourishes. As the opportunities for being educated abroad have increased exponentially through the years, young interior designers and decorators are embracing the traditions of those ancient traders and studying different design influences from different parts of the globe. Rather, it’s appreciating these design elements for their own uniqueness and juxtaposing them to create new and exciting interior designs which may, perhaps someday, become the new standard for ‘modern design’. Just as it’s becoming more common to have a Mexican taco for lunch and enjoy a plate of Japanese sushi for dinner, people are beginning to become just as comfortable appreciating different influences in the décor around them.

To create a consistent, replicable and desirable dining experience, it is important to make an identity for your restaurant. Customers will experience a wholly constructed experience starting with the food but leading all the way down to the décor, lighting and so on. Starting with the food and moving out all the way to the design of the table top, look to develop every aspect.

Hotels need comprehensive strategies and a host of offerings to stand out among their competitors but for visitors to a hotel, the first thing they interact with is the hotel lobby. The hotel strategy, positioning and the brand you are looking to build will dictate what kind of lobby you are looking at. Naturally, you have to take other things into consideration such as the space you have for the lobby, the location you are in and cultural factors but these things affect the mood and tone as much as the mood and tone affects them. Open lobbies can try to add more daylight through glass facades while other lobbies can look to mimic a more intimate space, with low lighting and very relaxed music.
