Here are some effective tips for designing extended-stay accommodations that can help create a comfortable and inviting environment for guests.

Explore some of the innovative hotel design trends expected to redefine how we experience hospitality in 2024.

When guests walk into a hotel, the very first thing they notice is not the amenities—it's the design, the look and feel of the property.

This vibe and how it makes them feel kicks off their guest experience during a hotel stay.

Most guests notice a hotel’s style—industrial, minimalist, bohemian, country. They see wall colors, furniture, lighting fixtures and tile patterns on the floor. Maybe there's a spectacular staircase or mural in the lobby that catches their eye. Whatever they see or sense will trigger an experience.

Good design is pretty aesthetically pleasing. Great design engages the senses, lures people in and creates a visual narrative that guests will remember long after they leave.  Designers' talent lies in their ability to create guest experiences that are genuine, unique, and memorable.

Designing for Disaster Saves Lives and Money in the Long Run

It is up to hotel owners and operators to take the necessary measures to safeguard their property and protect their guests, especially in regions prone to extreme weather patterns.

Here are the top eight restaurant interior design trends we see flourishing in 2018.

The increasing popularity of eco-friendly or green tourism is driving sustainable design in the hospitality industry to new heights.

Green travelers want to stay in green hotels, and eco-friendly guests are not likely to be persuaded to act against their values. Sustainable design offers environmentally conscious travelers a place where they can feel comfortable spending their time and their hard-earned cash.

Millennials are shaping the hospitality industry (not to mention the world!)

It's the millennial revolution, and it's all about guest experience, technological conveniences, and social media.

Millennials are unlike traditional travelers. They don't travel; they explore. They crave new, unexpected, meaningful experiences. Still, why should the hospitality industry cater to them?
