Why hotel lobbies look like living rooms now
The grand marble hall is out; the sectional sofa, the record player, and the coffee bar are in. The shift is strategy, not nostalgia.
Peter AlmeidaHospitality
Hospitality covers hotels, resorts and short-stay properties as buildings and as businesses. Room design, lobby circulation and material wear sit beside occupancy figures, nightly rates and the local rules governing rentals. Written for operators, developers and designers deciding where money goes before a property opens its doors.
Hotels, resorts and short-stay homes read two ways at once: the design of a room, and the occupancy and rate math that keeps doors open.
