When traveling, whether it’s for work or play, we all like our hotel to
be a place of quiet respite and at times to serve as a calm oasis in the
storm, depending on what our travel plans might entail. (If you’re in
Vegas this might not be the case, but that's a subject for a different
article!)
Have you ever wondered how hotels achieve the serene and comforting
ambiance they provide to a huge range of guests on a daily basis? A lot
goes in to creating spaces that are both inviting and exciting, and
doing so within a certain square footage and budget limits makes for an
interesting puzzle.
Peaceful ambiance
Hotels create atmosphere by engaging you with things you do and don’t
see with the naked eye. While the architecture and furnishings can be
plush and comfortable, and a cozy space with a roaring fire will beckon
you to relax and enjoy your drink there after a long day of work or
play, so much more is taking place to create a positive memory for you
that you will hopefully share with others.
Unparalleled service
The decorum of the staff is paramount in making you feel welcome and
supremely cared-for. Ensuring that all staff members are on the same
page in their treatment and dealings with guests goes a long way toward a
happy customer, and one who will gladly return. Classes on guest
etiquette and rewards for hotel employees who go above and beyond play a
key role in hotels that produce top ratings from guests.
Mood lighting
Lighting is a main source of the relaxing Zen-like ambiance most
hotels strive to create. By letting natural light come through large
windows, showcasing the architecture and decor of a hotel during
daylight hours, guests get a feeling of wellness and energy to help take
them through their daily activities. In the evenings light creates an
atmosphere of both relaxation and fun in more intimate areas, such as in
the hotel bar, and provides security with spotlights and motion-sensor
lighting outside. In the ever-popular hotel spa space, lighting is again
a key element in helping you attain your Zen mood. Dim lighting, often
in the form of recessed lights, fosters a calming, nurturing ambiance
where guests can easily relax and let go of daily stresses.
Health services
In addition to elaborate spas with an assortment of rejuvenating
treatments, many more hotels now offer extensive health-related
services. Examples include updated and expanded workout facilities and
special meal services for vegan, gluten-free or other diets.
Color therapy
Hotels use a variety of colors to soothe guests so they will enjoy
the time spent in their guest rooms. Neutral and earth tones for walls
are always popular, and surveys report guests find them the most
restful. Dimmer switches on bedside lights allow each person to control
their own lighting destiny, while bathroom lighting is designed down to
the very last detail. After all, if you are a woman applying makeup and
styling your hair in there, you want every inch of the room lit up like a
holiday tree!
Fine linens
Top-notch bed linens and the most comfortable mattresses make getting
a good night's rest a piece of cake. Some hotels even offer information
to purchase the linens and mattresses so you can recreate the
experience in your bedroom. Let's not forget the soft, plush towels and
warm robes, which make you feel at home.
When you’re away from home you
want to make the most of your ability to unwind and decompress. Even if
you are checking in for a work-related trip, hotels want you to find
their establishment relaxing and enjoyable. Much has gone into unlocking
what it will take to help you find your own personal Zen, and hotels
worldwide want to hand you the keys.
