A home, far from home

Comfort und technology – these are trends in the hotel sector of our days. Old fashioned plush has to go, instead comes a bold crossover of styles. A combination of modern information technology and first class furniture offers both relaxation and connection to the world. Which ways the branch goes, you can read here:

Fortunately, there is no accounting for taste and fortunately, hotels are not all equipped and designed the same way. As diverse as their guests, so are the room designs in different hotels. It is important to appeal to the hotel’s intended target audience. A luxurious business hotel in hip downtown will need a different profile than a rurally located three star hotel.
- Appeal to the right target audience with the right design

In the old days, hotels were driven by one guideline: Hotel rooms and their decor had to be pragmatic and functional. The goal was not to create too much extra work for the housekeepers. It was important to have low-maintenance carpets and furniture. The design was mostly based on their economical use.
- Functionality is not everything anymore

Gone are the days when the word wellness in hotels just meant there was a Finnish sauna available. After a long shopping day or numerous business meetings, it is not just luxury hotels that offer their guests a sophisticated recreational center.
- Spa- and wellness centers remain trendy in hotels

The trend is particularly evident in business hotels. The “laptop guest-generation“gladly passes on heavy and old-fashioned luxury, if there are plenty technical gadgets available. Especially for business people who travel a lot, the desire to blend leisure time and business is huge. In modern rooms they want to be able to withdraw, yet also remain present.
- Efficiency increasingly becomes the center of attention
