Hotel Flooring

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is widely regarded as the ideal flooring solution for high-traffic areas in hotels and restaurants, combining durability, design versatility, and ease of maintenance in one highly practical package.

LVT is engineered to perform in busy hospitality environments, offering:

• Exceptional wear resistance thanks to its strong wear layers that stand up to heavy footfall, rolling luggage, and dining furniture.

• Water and stain resistance, making it ideal for entrances, dining areas, and spaces prone to spills.

• Acoustic properties, helping to absorb noise and enhance guest comfort.

• Low-maintenance performance, with easy cleaning and minimal upkeep - critical for 24/7 hospitality operations.

• Quick installation options, including click or adhesive systems, which help minimize downtime during refurbishments.

Design-wise, LVT excels with an extensive range of finishes, from authentic wood grains and stone effects to abstract patterns, allowing you to achieve a luxury look without the cost or upkeep of natural materials.

Whether you’re designing a grand hotel lobby, a bustling restaurant floor, or high-use corridors, LVT delivers the style, strength, and flexibility modern hospitality spaces demand.

Amtico antimicrobial provides extra peace of mind between cleans on all our collections. We add an antimicrobial ionic silver additive to our PU lacquer that provides a hygienic surface where bacteria and viruses will struggle to multiply or survive.

Embedded antimicrobials are not designed to replace cleaning and disinfection, but to provide an additional level of protection between regular cleaning cycles in high traffic spaces.

This has been independently tested to ISO 22196 and shown to reduce harmful MRSA and E. coli bacteria by over 99.9%* within 24 hours compared to untreated polyethylene surfaces.

All our antimicrobial flooring achieves the same levels of high performance against sunlight, scuffs and stains and heavy traffic that you expect from any Amtico floor.

Amtico Acoustic turns bold interiors into beautifully quiet environments with built-in sound reduction and zero compromise on style. You can find more information on time and cost savings with acoustic here

For schemes where design identity is central to the brief, Amtico Signature offers the greatest scope for creative expression. As our premium collection, it gives specifiers and designers the freedom to create more tailored interiors through considered laying patterns, curated combinations and a broader design palette. For projects that call for something even more individual, our Bespoke service can help bring unique flooring concepts to life.

This makes Signature particularly effective in communal spaces where the floor is expected to do more than perform well. In reception areas, lounges and amenity spaces, it can help shape a stronger sense of character and set the tone for the wider development.

Amtico flooring is regularly specified throughout hospitality environments, including washrooms and other guest-facing spaces. Available with optional Safety and Acoustic enhancements, Amtico helps designers create coordinated interiors while supporting the performance requirements of busy commercial environments.

R11 is a slip-resistance rating measured at the time of testing. Amtico Safety products meet the EN 13845 enhanced slip-resistance standard, which helps demonstrate sustained slip-resistance performance throughout the life of the floor. This allows specifiers to combine long-term performance with the design flexibility available across Amtico collections.

Not necessarily. The most appropriate flooring solution will depend on the intended use of the space and the project's risk assessment. When assessing slip resistance, it is important to consider not only an R rating but also whether the flooring offers sustainable slip-resistance performance over time. Amtico Safety products meet the EN 13845 enhanced slip-resistance standard for long-term commercial performance. 

Amtico Acoustic flooring helps reduce impact sound transmission by up to 19dB while providing additional comfort underfoot. This can be particularly beneficial in guest rooms, corridors and multi-storey hospitality environments where reducing noise transfer can help support guest comfort. The integrated acoustic backing is factory applied, removing the need for a separate underlay. 

Amtico flooring combines premium design with the durability required for busy hospitality environments. With a wide choice of laying patterns and product designs, alongside optional Safety and Acoustic enhancements, Amtico gives designers the flexibility to create distinctive hotel interiors without compromising on performance.

The current hotel flooring trends are all about reinterpreting luxurious materials with a designer’s touch. There’s an increasing move towards marble aesthetics – think striking black and white or green and white combinations that offer a high-end look without the installation and maintenance challenges of natural stone.

Heritage-style patterns are also gaining popularity, infusing spaces with a timeless charm, which is perfect for period properties and adding character around bar areas. Though not a recent trend, we are seeing more projects integrating safety into designs from the outset, opting for LVT planks and tiles with enhanced slip resistance. This fusion of striking pattern and robust performance is redefining hotel and restaurant interiors, ensuring that floors are as safe as they are stunning.

Achieving a premium, design-led look doesn’t have to mean premium pricing. With the right materials and design strategies, hotels and restaurants can create visually striking interiors that feel high-end while staying within budget.

One of the most effective approaches is to use luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) or high-quality laminate that authentically replicates the look and feel of natural materials like hardwood, marble, terrazzo, or concrete at a fraction of the cost. These products offer outstanding durability, easy maintenance, and rapid installation, making them ideal for hospitality environments where downtime must be minimized.

Designers can also elevate perceived luxury through:

• Thoughtful layout and zoning using patterns like parquet, chevron, or mixed materials.

• Layering textures and tones can add depth and warmth, even within flooring.

• Accents and borders that mimic bespoke finishes.

• Selecting materials with realistic surface embossing for a tactile, high-value feel.

Smart sourcing, modular formats, and curated colourways mean you can create aspirational spaces that impress guests and reflect your brand, without compromising your budget.

Biophilic design is a design philosophy that integrates elements of nature into the built environment to evoke a sense of well-being, comfort, and connection. For interior designers working in the hospitality sector, it’s a powerful tool to elevate both guest experience and design impact.

In hotels and restaurants, biophilic design goes beyond adding greenery - it encompasses organic materials, natural textures, flowing spatial arrangements, and visual references to nature. Flooring plays a critical role here; think woodgrain LVT with tactile embossing, stone-inspired surfaces with earthy tonality, or custom layouts that mimic patterns found in leaves, water, or landscapes.

The goal is to create immersive spaces that reduce stress, improve airiness and ambiance, and enhance guest engagement. It’s about crafting environments that feel instinctively “right” - intuitively calm, grounded, and authentic.

In hotel and restaurant environments, neurodiverse-friendly design is increasingly seen not just as a matter of compliance, but of empathetic, human-centered design. Key considerations include:

• Sensory modulation: Use flooring materials that minimize noise transmission, such as acoustic LVT or soft-surface options, to reduce auditory overstimulation.

• Calming visuals: Choose flooring patterns and finishes that are visually clear, low in contrast, and avoid overly busy or flickering designs. Subtle natural textures and muted palettes can promote calm.

• Clear wayfinding: Flooring can help define zones and guide flow by using contrasting tones, tactile cues, or inset designs, supporting guests who rely on spatial consistency and orientation.

• Lighting and reflectivity: Matte flooring finishes help reduce glare, which can be distressing for some neurodivergent individuals.

• Safe, soothing environments: Opt for hypoallergenic, non-toxic materials to ensure healthy indoor air quality and reduce sensory triggers.

Ultimately, designing for neurodiversity improves comfort for everyone. It creates environments that feel more welcoming, adaptable, and emotionally attuned - qualities increasingly valued in modern hospitality design.
