The Perfect Hotel Room… what about the Hotel?
It seems to be the subject at the moment to discuss the perfect hotel room and what the guest wants, especially after recent events such as The Independent Hotel Show where Chic Retreats created a whole book on this.
Watergate Bay Hotel, Cornwall – Fresh, clean coastal scheme
We think it starts with the Hotel and its service, experience and comfort. I recently saw an article by Ella McDougall of Habitus saying that it’s the ‘glamour of vacation with the comforts of home’ That feeling of getting away but the home comforts, those items you need are all essential to the perfect setting.
The statistics that have been shared by Chic Retreats included “My dream hotel bedroom doesn’t feel like a hotel bedroom. It feels like home” and “I want somewhere you can get lost in and forget the rush and stress, of life” It all points to comfort away from home with a few extravagances!
We can talk about the ambiance, the colour shades, the lighting, the fragrances, the technology, the complimentary items, the furniture, the bed, the Art, the view, the room size, and the cleanliness and so on. All this has to be right and consistent through the hotel from entrance to terrace.
A recent discussion in Hansgrohe Water studio recorded by Mix Media covers many elements of design from a number of industry experts. This conversation covers everything from the hotel for the business person, the parents, the hopeless romantics, the escapists and so on. The discussion is between hotel management, construction, designers and suppliers and gives some great insights on latest trends.
Another Place Hotel, Ullswater, Lake District – Cosy library area
Recent projects we have worked on include Another Place Hotel and The Ned, both are quite different and very different in locations but have put a huge amount of emphasis on the experience of the consumer with the comfort and luxury at the top. Another Place is advertised as somewhere you can go for ‘active relaxation’ with its swim club, spa or somewhere to cosy up and read a book. The Ned however in the City of London offers ‘Crash pads to Signature Suites’ along with an array of restaurants, gym, spa, rooftop lounge, nail bar, hairdresser and everything for a lifestyle venue offering to escape from the city life.
The Ned, London – The more traditional classic style bedroom suites
To summarise the ‘Perfect Hotel Room’ or ‘The Perfect Hotel’ is a sanctuary we believe where you can escape and therefore needs plenty of spaces to relax, and free yourself from this busy lifestyle many of us lead.
