Hotel Bedroom Design Tips

Guests choose hotels for many different reasons, but they are ultimately looking for a great bedroom space -- somewhere they can wind down, sleep, and get a good night’s rest before embarking on the activities for their trip.

Savvy hoteliers and designers know that no matter how many amenities the hotel has or how convenient it is to a popular landmark -- a clean, comfortable, and well-designed bedroom space is what will bring a customer back time and time again.

While there is no official formula to create the perfect bedroom space in a hotel, there are a few hotel design trends and clever design tips to help create the perfect environment everyone is hoping for when they check in.

How to Clean Laminate and Veneer

As suppliers to the hotel industry, we know that cleanliness is a top priority. In fact, the mantra of every hotel should be centered around these wise words: When you’re finished cleaning – clean again! 

Everything in a hotel needs to be cleaned on a regular basis, and your furniture is no exception. Just as there are a variety of different types of furniture, there are also different requirements for cleaning each of them.

Hotel cleanliness is more important than ever, as guests will remain concerned about exposure to COVID-19 for the foreseeable future.

Why Buy American Made Hotel Furniture?

If you've begun to look for new furnishings for your hotel property, you know that there are a myriad of choices, both from U.S. manufacturers and from overseas-based furniture makers.

However, opting for furniture crafted "Made in America" is not just a patriotic slogan. Such a move can improve your appearance to potential guests, eliminate unnecessary headaches, and even impact your bottom line.

Preventing Mold and Moisture in Hotel Rooms

Most buildings will experience some sort of water issue at some point, and hotels are no exception. In fact, hotel rooms are more prone to water intrusion simply due to the nature of the design and their use.

It is important to remember as hotel owners, managers, and designers that vigilance and proactive action is the best way to protect against potential issues from water and moisture damage.

Being proactive against possible water issues that could lead to dangerous and expensive mold and moisture in hotel rooms is so much less expensive and disruptive than ignoring costly warning signs that could cost a fortune.  

How to Predict and Increase Hotel Occupancy Rates

If your occupancy rates surprise you season after season, it’s time to change your methods.

Despite the belief among some hoteliers that occupancy rates are unpredictable and uncontrollable, occupancy rates can be predictable -- and knowing where they’re headed can help you increase them.
