Hotel Lobby Furniture Restaurant
It’s time to objectively evaluate your hotel lobby. Is it fully serving its purpose, or does it leave much to be desired? Choosing the right furniture for transitory spaces like lobbies can help you welcome customers and manage the traffic in and out of your hotel business. Because furniture plays such an important role in hospitality, it must be regularly re-evaluated.
Whether designing a lobby for the first time or trying to uplift your existing space, here are ways to enhance your lobby and restaurant for a warm and welcoming feel with Grosfillex North America.
Consider the Layout
No matter the aesthetic, purpose, or goal, your first step is to understand the layout of your lobby and the areas it provides access to. The next step is to arrange your furniture so guests and staff can access the entire space efficiently and without issue.
Use Furniture to Define the Space and Its Use
Your furniture placement will help guide the guests through your space as planned. Your reception desk, which is your focal point, needs to be the first thing people notice from every entry/exit point of the lobby. Meanwhile, your lounge chairs should be adjacent to the reception desk.
If you have more space, consider adding conversational seating or reading areas. If you have a bar, create a space for guests to enjoy a drink while they wait.
Leave some spaces empty and far from crowded areas for guests who want to take a private phone call.
Create Personalized Experiences
The trend of creating personalized experiences veers away from traditional reception areas with tall desks that require guests to stand as they wait in line. Give each client a customized check-in experience that's comfortable and enjoyable. Guests can sip drinks while waiting on couches instead of standing at a desk.
Design for Flexible, Multifunctional Use
Flexible and multifunctional lobby spaces are another emerging trend at top hotels and restaurants. The idea is to utilize the same space for various purposes.
One example is the hybrid lobby space with a library, a dining area, or an outdoor terrace. Many lobby lounges have started practicing this trend. Lobby lounges are ideal for guests who want to mingle with other guests, locals, and staff. They're also great for digital nomads who work on the go. It's an extension of a relaxing lobby area that gives guests several options for spending their time.
Flexible lobby spaces can be used as socialization hubs with artwork, installations, and pop-ups.
