As competition in the hotel industry becomes increasingly stiff, it is essential for you, as a hotel owner, to ensure that your star ratings impress your prospective guests. One area that can significantly impact or improve your hotel rating is the brightness or darkness of your rooms, corridors, and public spaces. To ensure that your hotel lighting is perfect, we have outlined four ideas that will help your hotel become brighter and warmer.
1. Work with a light planner
Most hotel developers assume that electrical engineers are the sole experts with whom we should trust with lighting. With respect to electrical engineers, they often don’t think much about style, ambiance, art, and glamor. Very good lighting is the handiwork of light planners. They know how that white satin sheet needs to be lit up. With a lighting planner, sockets are better placed, and public spaces are well-maintained. So, with a light planner, you will give your guests a great first impression.
2. Apply Versatile lighting
We used to have a traditional hotel arrangement format, where the lobby, bar, restaurant, and check-in were kept separate from each other. Everything is now free-flowing. Many things can take place in the same room. For example, the same room may be used for breakfast in the morning and then used for dinner in the evening. It means that lighting in the same space needs to be versatile. Good lighting will cater to cool lighting in the morning, while ensuring that dinner is served under warm, cozier lighting.
3. Maintain your concept
When guests walk into your hotel, the property should have a wow factor! The place needs to stand out. Now, you might do so much thinking that you are standing out. But what you are doing is making your lighting look out of place. For example, lamps work well in a lobby when you want to highlight decorative and architectural aspects. What are we saying? Lighting should be used to reinforce the property’s theme.
4. Invest in quality
Come to think of it, a hotel like yours is going to have a lot of guests. When there’s an event in town, you’ll have to turn away some guests. Because of this human traffic, you need quality. You need high-quality bulbs, switches, and other lighting fixtures. If you plan to use lamps and stands, they must withstand knocks when they topple. At the end of the day, you don’t want to incur bulbs as an annual expenditure. If you would like to get an experienced team for light planning, contact us.
