Managing a hotel involves more than just maintaining a clean space. You also need to create a beautiful ambiance that appeals to your guests and inspires them to return. This process should begin in the lobby, where visitors are offered their first glimpse of what’s in store when they stay at the establishment. From installing a gas fireplace to crafting a unique lighting plan, here are some suggestions to elevate its appeal.

How to Elevate Your Hotel Lobby

1. Include Sufficient Seating

While people customarily come to the lobby to check in and out, the space serves other purposes as well. When you design it with your guests’ comfort in mind, you can create a social area where people can relax and gather comfortably.

Fill the space with plush, comfortable chairs. Avoid light colors that may easily stain, and opt for soft fabrics that guests can sink into after a long journey.

2. Install a Gas Fireplace

Adding a gas fireplace to the lobby instantly encourages comfort and relaxation. Guests are more likely to settle into a chair, chat with their friends and family, and enjoy the view as they bask in the warmth and soft glow of the appliance.

This addition is perfect for guests to warm up during Alaskan winters. Also, by using gas instead of logs, you prevent smoking up the lobby and making the place smell like fire.

3. Optimize the Lighting Plan

A dim lobby can be a liability if people can’t see where they’re going. Configure your lighting plan to illuminate the entire space.  Ambient lighting fills the space with generous illumination and ensures your guest know where they’re going.

Place task lighting, like table lamps, in specific areas to make it easier for people to read or write. You can use fixtures for particular duties, like shining a gentle glow over the fireplace or illuminating wall art.
