Hotels – Arrangements and Trends 2021

What reminds us of some hotels and we want to return to them not only for leisure but also for a business trip? In addition to a great location, interesting architecture and aesthetic interior design, high-quality materials, comfortable solutions, hygiene at the highest level and a feeling of security are important.

Based on the current needs of the tourism and hospitality industry, we can already anticipate a number of trends that will affect the course of the industry as well as the hospitality industry and guest experience. Let’s take a closer look at the key trends in the hospitality industry in 2021. Below we present solutions, materials and trends for the design of hotel interiors that will be the most popular in the near future.

Which materials to choose for a hotel interior? Convenient solutions

The materials used in the arrangement have a huge impact on how we feel inside the hotel. In the rooms of the hotel we can use materials that are characterized by high quality parameters, aesthetic values and low emissions in order to create an appropriate climate that is tailored to the individual rooms. So let’s focus on durability and the corresponding technical parameters, which are confirmed by certificates. When choosing materials, furniture or lamps for hotel interiors, their quality, functionality, durability and price should be taken into account. Hotel rooms should be characterized by coherent aesthetics, functionality and accessibility.

Hotels are frequently visited – daily arrival of guests, cleaning, suitcases with heavy wheels – all this can damage the floor surfaces. It is therefore important to use durable materials. The modern trend is to use carpet, one of the faster ways to get a visually attractive, practical and durable floor. LVT panels, which guarantee a hygienic surface finish and quick cleaning, are also being chosen more and more frequently.

Details are important

When designing the hotel interior, it is worth taking into account even the smallest details that make up the individual character of the room. Their high quality and the selection of suitable technologies increase the comfort and safety of users. It is also worth using neutral colors from materials that we rarely replace. In the event of a change in the interior, it is enough to replace the decorations and moving parts, which is much cheaper and easier.

Personalization is the key to a unique experience

Hotels, especially in large cities, need to be creative in order to attract both private and business guests. The competition in the market is growing every year.
You have to talk and listen to the guests. When booking and arriving, ask about their expectations and needs during the courtesy talks during their stay. Guests are welcome to receive additional information with suggestions for their stay prior to check-in. Rather than offering a discount, hotels, especially the higher category, should create value for the service (experience) that guests are willing to pay full price for.

Consumers are more loyal to brands that better tailor what they offer to their needs. Despite the pandemic, people are still looking for new, personalized experiences.

Safety and hygiene in the hotel

The most important word in the hotel industry at the moment is cleanliness and guests expect a high level of hygiene. Regardless of the size and standard of the hotel room, hygiene should always be a top priority. Guests now expect more space to relax. Hotels should communicate and staff should be aware of what they have to offer to give guests a sense of privacy and distance from others, e.g. B. a garden, a library, a terrace, a private sauna or a table with chairs for comfortable dining. In addition, when designing hotel interiors, we can choose antibacterial materials for hotel furniture. It’s also worth investing in accessories like disinfectants and personal care kits that are packaged separately for each guest.

Relaxation and wellness zones in the hotel

After a long break, guests return to the hotels to relax physically, deal with acquired ailments and mentally reset themselves. In addition, depression is a disease of civilization of the 21st century in people of all ages. Resort hotels with medical facilities and rehab facilities can help them restore health and balance.

Remember that wellness is everywhere, covering all aspects of a hotel experience. It’s not just the spa zone. These are the air and water quality in the building, lighting, plants, quality of the mattress, bedtime rituals, cosmetics in the rooms, interior paints, music in public areas and in the room as well as the food offered in the restaurant. These are all activities that are also planned outside the facility.

It is worth preparing an offer for guests that supports relaxation and recreation, for example with workshops on healthy and ecological lifestyle, or an offer for the elderly to strengthen the immunity of the organism of people who are most threatened by modern diseases.

Environmental awareness

Consumer awareness of ecology has increased significantly. The younger generation expects decisive action. Climate change is an important issue and one of the greatest challenges is environmental protection.

Tourists want to travel more sustainably and visit uncrowded places. It is important that you book more environmentally friendly accommodation. It is not enough just to reduce plastic. Environmentally conscious guests prefer local products of natural origin, from food to cosmetics. It is also worth investing in furniture, lamps and interiors from local European manufacturers and informing customers about them. Of course, guests will appreciate our efforts and feel more secure and comfortable knowing that all interior elements have been made on site. This also supports the local housekeeper. As a result, there is more money left in our economic environment.

It is worth changing the concept of the hotel kitchen to a more sustainable one. These activities include not only processing unused food scraps, but also reducing animal and industrial products that affect the ecosystem. It is important for consumers to know the origin of a food when choosing a restaurant.
