The hotel lobby is actually the foyer, the general service desk, the lounge, the lobby bar, the building (electric) elevator hall, the anteroom for catering and conferences, the most important of which is the foyer and the general service desk. Some hotels do not have atriums or four seasons courts, and the area of the lobby should be appropriately expanded. Especially the lounge and lobby bar should increase the area, and properly arrange the pool, fountain and greenery.
(1) The combination of entrance gates is related to the local climate conditions; their number and size are related to the decoration level of the hotel. Different customs and religious areas also have special requirements for gates. The hotel door is required to be eye-catching and spacious, which is easy for guests to identify, and facilitate the entry and exit of personnel and luggage; at the same time, it is required to be windproof, reduce the escape of air-conditioned air, and the ground is wear-resistant, easy to clean, and non-slip in rain. The gate area is also where the hotel welcomes guests.
Therefore, some hotels have double doors, and some have a door with an air curtain, and one of the doors is an ultrasonic or infrared photoelectric sensor automatic door. The types of doors are divided into sliding doors, revolving doors, automatic doors, etc. There is a special reception in front of the high-end hotel, and there are staff sliding doors in front of the door to welcome you; general hotel lobby uses automatic doors, one side of which is a permanent sliding door for emergency needs; revolving doors are suitable for hotels in cold areas and can prevent cold wind from entering the hall.But it is inconvenient to carry luggage, and the traffic capacity is weak. Sliding doors should also be installed on the side to facilitate the flow of large numbers of people and people carrying luggage.
(2) The layout of the lobby and lobby of the hotel has a variety of changes according to the different requirements of the overall layout, business grid and space combination. The most common hall layout is to divide the general service desk and rest area on both sides of the entrance gate area, and the floor and elevator are located directly opposite the entrance. This layout has the advantages of clear functional partitions, simple routes, and less interference to the rest area.
The space in the foyer should be open and flowing. Guests can see the various components at a glance. At the same time, in order to improve the efficiency and quality of use, the activity areas of different functions must be clearly distinguished. Among them, the general service desk, luggage room, lobby manager, and waiting in front of the counter belong to an area that needs to be close to the entrance, and the location is obvious, so that guests can quickly go through various procedures.
The lobby bar that provides beverage services forms a profitable area in the foyer. There should be enough area in front of the stairs and elevator hall as a traffic area.
(3) Auxiliary furniture in the hotel lobby is essential for the decoration facilities of luxury hotels: luggage and small items storage, cloakroom, jewelry or gift shop, flower shop, bookstore. Post, bank, telephone room, toilet. The layout of auxiliary facilities should be appropriate, not excessively exposed, and do not turn against auxiliary facilities.
For luxury hotels, the hotel lobby furniture must reflect the noble, elegant and gorgeous style. The floor and wall should be decorated with high-grade materials, and the color should be calm and clean. Some hotel entrance hall pillars use stainless steel veneer or round imported granite veneer, which can indeed create extraordinary momentum. The design of the lobby relies on the successful combination of many factors such as spatial shape, scale, color composition, light and dark, and material texture.
