Design trends in hotel design are often in sync with the latest trends in fashion and interior design, and they keep changing and improving every year. They’ve come a long way from being just a place to stay when you’re visiting a new town, and are now showing more style than ever. From different types of design in rooms and a well-maintained reception to show-stopping hallways, designers really try to show the beauty of the hotel space. The demand is big, and the potential is used to its full capacity to show the guests why a certain hotel is the most beautiful in town. Whether you’re used to staying in a hotel or just like to keep up with the latest trends, enjoy reading about all the changes in the hotel industry. Fresh new lobbies This was the space people used to ignore – they’d just check in and go straight to their rooms. Now, even the lobbies play a significant role in making a decision. This space is now envisioned like a multi-functional area offering a great first impression. With many people traveling for business and having meetings in hotels, this space now offers total privacy. Apart from that, it’s also a space to hang out with friends if you’re on a trip and enjoy a cocktail or two. With all that happening, plain old chairs and sofas aren’t enough anymore, so hotels aren’t afraid to get new lobby furniture and even add some separation between people working on their laptops and those who just hang out here. Green walls, soothing water walls, and old-school booths are among the most usual options that separate the space, but also bring it together. Going green When it comes to adding plants to the design, hotel interiors took it to a whole new level. One of the best ways to go green by adding fresh flowers every single day, and you can see colorful plants in every room. Both the exterior and the interior are covered with green walls, giving you the feeling like you’re in some sort of resort. Of course, vertical gardens connect every part of the hotel, from the lobby to the dining area, and the landscape architects are doing everything they can to create breathtaking sceneries. That’s why you’ll see big windows that provide more than enough natural light and huge plants right behind them. Sustainability is still a major concern, and all these designs are made in accordance with the eco-friendly way. The breathtaking décor The design of the guest rooms goes in two directions – one is a more minimalistic and inspired by the Middle Eastern culture and the practicality of the Zen way of living. On the other hand, there’s a movement that competes to take the first place in a competition for the most stylish hotel room. A room needs to cater to the requirements of high-profile guests, so you’ll see a lot of designer items in there as well. From king-sized beds with over the top headboards to rather sophisticated round rugs that add a dose of style and comfort. The walls are covered with artwork that usually represents a local artist and the style of the city in general. This will create a warm and cozy feeling, and help you get a better perspective of the town you’re visiting. You’ll see more color than just the artwork, since there are some trendy color combinations happening in the hotel interiors as well. Authentic and inviting restaurants Hotel restaurant used to be practical, organized and designed to accommodate as many people as possible – and, of course, serve them food. Now, you can witness the changes in the restaurant design business and you’ll feel like you’re in a movie. With all the vintage and rustic trends being popular over the last few years, this is something that’s trendy in the hotels too. Some of them are pushing creativity to the next level and creating rooftop restaurants overlooking the city. On the other hand, indoor nature-inspired restaurants are a great way to connect the indoors and outdoors, providing the guest with comfort, coziness and peace of mind. Spa-inspired bathrooms Personal pampering is one of the reasons many people like to stay in hotels during their trip or when they’re on a vacation. It’s one thing to book a spa day, but taking a long bath in the privacy of your own room is something completely different. Hotel owners are now creating spa-inspired bathrooms in order to give their guests a more complete experience. These bathrooms contain features like his and hers sinks, a large bathtub, waterfall showers, and more than one mirror. It goes without saying that scented sticks and candles, aromatherapy products and a great choice of soothing music can be found in bathroom cabinets. This inviting space is perfect for relaxation and getting away from all the noise and the crowd you have to deal with when you’re away from home. More than anything, hotel owners want to recreate that warm feeling only home can provide, and offer this to every guest that comes to them. By revamping and constantly improving their interiors, designers are really trying to show us there’s so much more to the simple hotel room. Pay attention to your accommodation next time you travel somewhere as it will surely be different than the last time you stayed at a hotel!
