Hotels aren’t just places to spend the night. They’re also meant to draw people away from the monotony of everyday life. As a result, their interior design schemes and amenities must provide the utmost comfort and convenience. If you’re planning hotel construction or are in the hospitality industry, here are a few trends that will increasingly affect your business. 

What Are a Few New Trends in Hotel Design?

1. Smart Room Features

Automated lights and temperature controls are all the rage in interior design these days. Hotels that adopt these technologies early will stand out from the rest by offering more convenience for guests. Additionally, implementing smart technology after construction is more cost-effective than a range of remodeling projects, including room expansion and device upgrades. 

2. Repurposed Spaces

Smaller, independent hotels that repurpose existing structures are popping up in numerous cities. Empty office buildings, schools, and warehouses exist in many urban areas, and industrious hoteliers are redoing these spaces to offer unique guest experiences. While purchasing an existing building can be less expensive than new construction, older structures typically need massive renovations for structural integrity and layout design. 

3. Eco-Friendly Building Materials

Green construction practices, such as using recycled building supplies and LED lighting fixtures, are draws for eco-conscious travelers. Alternative energy features, such as solar panels, can also save money on operational costs. As the public becomes more concerned about the impact of travel on the environment, such hotels will likely rise in popularity.  

4. Social Media Shareability

Many people share pictures of their vacations on social media, especially when they encounter interesting backdrops for selfies. Hotels can focus on creating attractive indoor and outdoor areas for photo opportunities to increase brand recognition and bookings.
