Emerging Hotel Design Trends for 2024
-
Health & Hygiene Consciousness
The pandemic may be over, but people have developed a permanent aversion to encounters with germs. Hotel contactless check-in and check-out using mobile devices will become more prevalent. Guests will expect to see hand sanitizer stations located in rooms and at strategic locations around the hotel, as essential bathroom accessories, and in the gym and dining area. Masks and gloves should be available, and UV sanitizers in rooms is a thoughtful and affordable amenity to offer.
-
AI & Smart Technology
Hotel design trends for 2024 will be greatly influenced by new technologies. Automation controlled by AI will be used to streamline hotel operations and processes increasing efficiency and cutting costs. Smart technology will also enhance the guest experience with automated controls and sensors to adjust the guest room environment for comfort and noise reduction.
-
Style & Security
With crime so much in the news, guests are more security-conscious than ever. Hotels that offer sturdy and secure hotel door lock systems will make them feel more protected and safer, increasing customer satisfaction. Modern finishes and styling in door hardware and accessories like stops and bumpers enhance sturdiness and security, and add a look of sophistication and utility.
-
Personalized Experiences
Technology is also making possible a more personalized guest experience with a concept called Hyper Commerce. This involves using social media and AI chatbots to engage the customer early on in their hotel-booking journey, using a conversational interface to capture all the details of their requirements and preferences from first contact to checkout to create tailored room settings, curated amenities, and personalized services.
-
Wellness Features
Health, wellness and sustainability are important bywords for hotel design trends in 2024. Enhanced spa facilities, fitness centers and in-room wellness amenities to make guests feel pampered and cared for will be in demand. The use of natural elements to create calming and rejuvenating environments to fight stress and anxiety will enhance customer satisfaction as well as promote a sense that the establishment values environmentally friendly and sustainable business practices. Murals, sculptures and art installations can help to complete this atmosphere.
