How to create a lounge area in a hotel for easygoing, top-rated stays
Want a hotel lounge to greet your guests with a contemporary, casual welcome? Here’s a step-by-step guide to set up a lounge area with thoughtful “we’re happy you’re here” details for satisfied guests and enjoyable experiences.
Plan the flow to put guests in the know
Furniture choice and placement in a hotel lounge impacts how guests move, act and feel. Spatial flowConsider literal and visual barriers, obstacles and opportunities. Work around and with existing architecture. Be sure there’s corridor width between walls, dividers and furniture so that guests can cross paths. Social flowThink about how people gather for different activities while defining what you want guests to do – or not. Are small side tables enough? Maybe bar tables are better? Heavy, sturdy pieces won’t likely be rearranged, but lightweight ones signal freedom to be moved around. Emotional flowMake everything easy and quick to understand. Repeat furniture arrangements for an organised, tidy vibe. Reflect on the effects and combinations of shapes and dimensions. Low furniture can feel laid-back or unsupportive. Tall furniture may feel private or intimidating.
Reassure guests they’re in helpful hands
Create a sense of trust, inclusion and care. At the reception desk, use task lighting and decorations for a pleasant, professional first impression. Have space to store guests’ coats and small bags. Be sure there’s clear signage and tourist info to easily guide people within the hotel and around town.
Surround guests with a soft, inviting sense of calm
Bring in soothing references to nature. Plants and flowers add lush luxury. Organic shapes – round, curvy, wavy – and natural materials – wood, cotton, linen – ease straight lines and cold materials. Diverse seating and extra cushions ensure there’s a welcoming, just-right chair for everyone (even Goldilocks).
Empower guests with home-like amenities
Set up a thoughtful “living room” for seamless stays. Offer a battery-charging zone – high tables with built-in cable management by a self-serve refreshment area. Share must-knows about wifi and breakfast on noticeboards like MITTZON frames with castors. Or use the frames as makeshift room dividers/botanical backdrops.
