Complete Guide to Hotel Architecture and

Design

If we could choose one most important factor contributing

to guest satisfaction in the hospitality field, it would be hotel
architecture and design. The layout and design of your hotel
tells a story and completely defines the visitors’ experience
during their stay.
In the modern world, hotels are no longer just a place to sleep
the night. Instead, it is a place that provides guests with the
opportunity to experience the culture of the location they are
visiting, to try, feel, discover, and relax at the end of the day.

Key Elements of Successful Hotel Architecture

and Design
To run a successful hotel today, you need to stop thinking
linearly or only consider aesthetic and functionality. On the
opposite, proper luxury hotel architecture and design takes into
consideration ALL aspects of the guest’s stay, - not only physical,
but also emotional. The ultimate goal of hotel exterior and
interior design should be to create unique and unforgettable
experiences for the traveller.
Here are a few key elements a hotel owner should keep in mind
when hiring a designer or a design firm for their property in
order to achieve a holistic and unique result:

11 Tell a Story
The modern philosophy of hotel design is all about telling a
story. When building or redesigning a hotel, it is important to
create a unique concept, which shapes the identity of the hotel
and guest experience. Make sure that the forms, materials, and
functionality of different spaces throughout the hotel reflect
your concept and design inspiration, as well as tell your story.
In your hotel concept, consider things like:

—— The hotel’s architecture and design concept

—— Hotel’s facilities, such as wellness facilities or restaurant and
food branding
—— The Signature Experiences that the hotel offers to its guests
—— Operational procedures, which should align with the main
idea
—— Hotel branding and communication strategies

21 2. Reflect the Location and External Elements

The climate conditions of the geographical location should be
one of the most important factors in the hotel architecture and
design. The weather outside should greatly determine how the
outdoor sections of the hotel will look like, and how they will
interact with the interior sections.
When designing a hotel, it is important to consider the
orientation of the building and how the sun moves around it.
The design of the zones, the functions, as well as the choice of
textures, colors, and materials, should be inspired by the hotel’s
“collaboration” with the sun and its surroundings.

3 Make Great First Impression

During the hotel architecture and design process, the architect
or designer should consider a few key areas of the hotel’s
interior.
The hotel’s entrance is the first reception point for the visitors.
The entrance is what shapes the client’s first impression, so it
is crucial to positively predispose the visitor from the first few
seconds.
Make sure that aesthetics of the entrance are aligned with the
hotel concept. Functionally, the entrance area should allow
the easy passage of visitors and staff. In addition, the entrance
should be easily found from the street, - we don’t want to have
tired travelers struggling to find the entrance!
The design and layout of the reception area should provide a
sense of intimacy, which, when combined with a warm welcome
from the staff, gives the visitor the confirmation that they’ve
made the right choice with the hotel.
Do not be afraid to make the lobby area the focal point of
your property. Visitors tend to gather in this space, and unique
design and aesthetics will encourage them to take photos and
share them on social media, giving you free advertisement and
attracting more clients.

4 Pay Attention to the Guest Rooms Design

The hotel room is the one place where the travelers sleep, relax,
and make the final decision of whether they’ve made the right
hotel choice.
The hotel’s story should be captured in all the small details and
elements that make up the room. It is also a good idea to divide
the room into smart functional zones, such as a sleeping area or
a recreation zone.
A spacious shower, a comfortable bed, and adequate storage
for luggage and clothes are the absolute musts of a pleasant
stay at the hotel.

5 Design Common Areas for Experiences

The hotel’s socialization and activities areas, such as breakfast
and lounge areas, the restaurant, or the pool, are all essential
elements contributing to the overall experience of the visitor.
All the common areas should reflect the branding of the
hotel and provide a fun and lively experience to the guests.
When designing these areas, focus on both functional and
aesthetic needs of the clients coming from various cultures
and with different experiences. Invite them to share a common
experience and live through the story you are trying to tell.
The floor plan should include separate areas for fun, relaxation,
socialization, gastronomic indulgence, and make it easy for
people to interact and create memories. When building the
design concept, study the travelers’ habits and how they will be
translated into experience.
