How Westin Tampa Bay Uses Grosfillex Chaise Lounges and Windmaster Umbrellas

 

Are you wondering how Westin Tampa Bay uses Grosfillex chaise lounges and Windmaster umbrellas? The property wanted to refresh its small private beach and terrace while keeping its established blue color scheme throughout. Comfortable seating mattered, but so did finding furniture suited to the waterfront and its often harsh environment. The resulting selection from Grosfillex Americas brought those priorities together without making the furnishings compete with the view.

What Did the Property Want to Change?

Change is often good for a business. The goal was a fresh, comfortable setting that still looked connected to the hotel, so everything had to compliment both the past and future. 

According to the Westin Tampa Bay installation story, the property selected Madras Blue Sunset Comfort Chaises and Windmaster Umbrellas. UV protection and suitability for waterfront exposure were also key considerations high on the priority list. 

Their decisions act as a helpful starting point for another hotel planning a refresh. Before comparing individual pieces, decide what the space needs to accomplish, and how you want your brand to stand out, such as through colors. 

Perhaps the existing seating feels tired or just looks old. Maybe guests have comfortable loungers but limited shade. Identifying those issues and problems first makes it easier to judge whether a proposed furniture group will actually improve the area or not. 

Why Does the Chaise Selection Matter?

A waterfront view gives guests a reason to sit down, relax, and enjoy themselves. The chaise determines how comfortable they feel once they do and whether or not they stay for a short rest or a long afternoon. 

The Sunset Comfort Chaise Lounge features a comfort sling and removable pillow. Its UV-resistant sling dries quickly. The lounge’s recessed wheels help with repositioning. The design is also stackable for easy storage. 

For a hotel buyer, those features deserve consideration together. Remember these two things: A guest experiences the seating surface. An employee experiences the effort involved in cleaning, moving, and storing the piece. Both perspectives need to be considered during purchasing. 

What Do Windmaster Umbrellas Add?

They provide a shade option alongside the lounge seating, giving guests more choice about how they enjoy an outdoor area and how they don’t. 

The installation features the Windmaster 7.5-foot Round Umbrella. This model uses Recacril marine-grade acrylic fabric, replaceable fiberglass ribs, and an aluminum pole. A vent helps release pressure from wind.

Commercial construction still requires proper handling. Grosfillex directs operators to lower umbrellas in windy conditions. In addition, they should close or take them down when unattended. The appropriate base is important and is sold separately when making an umbrella purchase. 

For hotels considering a similar arrangement, shade planning should include those operating details from the beginning and not be an afterthought. Employees need to know how the equipment is secured and where it goes when not in use and being stored. 

What Can Other Hotels Learn From the Project?

A clear purchasing brief helps keep the decisions focused. To make that plan a success, start with the intended guest experience, then work through things like weather exposure, maintenance and available space. Choose the seating and shade together so their dimensions and placement make sense as a group and flow seamlessly together. 

Small details deserve room in your plan and purchasing choices. Guests need somewhere to place a drink. Employees need access around occupied furniture. Storage needs to accommodate pieces when they are temporarily removed.
