A modern hotel lobby and meeting room with energy and ease
Step into this small, welcoming hotel in a busy city. It’s magnetic, yet soothing with references to nature – giving off a calm warmth that energises and grounds. This modern hotel lobby and meeting area supports your guests’ needs (business, leisure, both) by being casual, practical and versatile in contemporary surroundings.
A defined gathering area that calls for connection
This super social seating draws people in with warmth and closeness. The main piece is LILLEHEM, a modular sofa that can be combined into a custom solution. This set up mixes low backs, armrests and an open end so that guests can easily use the side table. A VEDBO armchair radiates relaxation, and a big coffee table can hold games or newspapers. The rectangular rug and reappearing colours tie the area together.
A functional spot that caters to the somewhat social crowd
On the other end of the LILLEHEM sofa, guests can be social or not. The side table joins and separates the sofa’s seat modules; the backrests face opposite directions. With an adjustable floor lamp and a laptop table that’s easy to reposition, guests can tailor their comfort – whether genuinely emailing or pretending to work while eavesdropping.
A secluded island of sorts for one-on-one conversation
Here’s where guests head when they want to stay in the modern hotel lobby but have some privacy and retreat a bit. The area is visually signalled by grouping from the ground up: a circular rug, a round side table, wall-like chairs and plant pots – all under globe-style pendant lamps. The two comfy BINGSTA high-backed armchairs are welcoming but can also be repositioned to better shield and cocoon. Taller elements around the chairs help set a room-within-a-room feel. Large plants make a little green oasis that spreads calm.
A high-focus zone that’ll earn high praise
When guests are on deadline or need to be on the clock for a few hours, it pays to have a dedicated desk area. A zone toward the side of the lobby, with a row of duplicated and distinct office furniture, makes it clear where to work undisturbed. For less distraction and more focus, the desks face the wall and the ergonomic HATTEFJÄLL office chairs have their backs to the lobby. Room dividers and acoustic plant boxes help dampen sound. So does MITTZON focus workstation, with its bubble-like booth, generous work area and easy-reach outlet. Windows give guests’ eyes a resting place, not to mention motivation to finish their to-do list and go explore.
A corner for locally roasted coffee and casual chit chat
Signal mingling and refreshments with bar furniture like STENSELE tables and JANINGE stools that create plenty of room to sit or stand. Add in a lively mood from wall art and music. Guests can serve themselves coffee and a treat, whether they’re taking a break from an all-day offsite or kicking off their long holiday.
A separate meeting room that’s well-equipped and welcoming
When a hotel lobby also offers a meeting room, set the attendees up for success. Furnish it with essentials from MITTZON coat racks and white boards to supportive LÅNGFJÄLL conference chairs at spacious conference tables. Attention to detail ensures it’ll always be booked by local businesses and out-of-towners alike.
A unified, yet unique meeting room
Combining meeting and relaxing areas in a modern hotel lobby is all about balance and clarity. For associationA big window links the spaces so that the meeting room doesn’t feel isolated. But the curtain lets attendees control privacy and focus. Both areas have furniture that matches in style and colour. Some are exactly the same, like JÄRPLIDEN pendant lamp and MITTZON pieces. For separationWith more wood, concrete and lighter turquoise, the meeting room gives off a subdued, calm and professional feel. With more colourful furniture, plants and a lively terrazzo floor, the lobby is vibrant, busy and informal.
A recap: hospitality’s roots are comfort and foresight
Thoughtful planning of a modern hotel lobby and meeting room creates a truly comfortable experience with hospitality done right. Anticipate guests’ needs and wishes – like offering different ways to gather, relax and work via zones that make it obvious what to do where. Provide guests with the information and tools they need to be self-sufficient and feel at home, for glowing reviews and return visits.
