What makes for a good hotel experience?

The location

Hotels can be close to home but still make you feel like you’re away from normality.  Resorts set in forests or alongside the sea even in your own country are still an escape.  We like the idea of a small journey, for big rewards, especially if you’ve the family in tow.

Family resorts like Butlins will cater for many people over the day - large scale colourful dining areas make for fun, casual eating experiences.

Kids' bedrooms in woodland resorts like this Centre Parcs location are simple, but sensibly so. Time is spent outside and lodge accommodation is designed to connect with surrounding nature.

The people

Service makes the hotel world go around.  We feel the effects of a warm welcome, long after the holiday’s over. Although a hotel reception can be automated, people still make the difference. 

 

The food

The design of restaurants and bars is critical to a hotel’s business model. The Architect or designer will need to balance the spatial design with a business revenue requirements. It's inspiring to see how interior design is used to create these ‘ultimate dining experiences’, adding another level to a hotel customer’s experience.

 

M Bar and Grill uses hotel styling, touches of traditional upholstery and a classic Basketweave laying pattern to create a luxe atmosphere.
