What story do you want your hotel to tell?

In the Greek market, however, a market with an ever-increasing volume of offering accommodation, the need for differentiation is more important than ever. An accommodation must now acquire an identity, have a style. But how is this done? Before starting anything, you have to decide what story you want to tell with your hotel. To find its philosophy.

Renovating a tourist accommodation can be a difficult and perhaps chaotic process. However, with the right partners and the right guidance, you can transform your hotel from a simple building into an experience space! From the biggest changes such as furniture and lighting, to the smallest, the purpose of renovation today offers not just a place to stay at night, but a complete accommodation experience.

First impression is the one that counts!

A proper redesign of the exteriors and spaces of a hotel is of crucial importance. Choose carefully the color you will put on the walls, and see if a painting technique for example can take off its style. Follow the latest trends and materials on the market to keep a modern aesthetic.

An equally important part of the first impression is the garden and the planting of the surrounding area. This space surrounds your hotel, it can function as a meeting and relaxation point for your guests. Of course, don’t forget that it is good that the accommodation respects and suits its surroundings and respects the culture of the place it is in.

Create an impressive lobby

One of the things that is necessary to make a good first impression, is to create an impressive lobby! Functional and stylish lobbies that paint the hotel’s philosophy at a glance! Lobbies can become pleasant waiting and meeting spaces. It is the first image of the hotel and must offer a friendly feeling and at the same time the level of services offered.

The identity at the hotel restaurant

In addition to showing the character of the hotel, the common areas must be functional, aesthetically beautiful and fulfill their purpose. The restaurant therefore needs warm and neat spaces that will improve the culinary experience of your customers! If this space is structured correctly, it can be the soul of the hotel and add prestige by strengthening the identity.

Pay attention to sleep and beds

The biggest part in a hotel has always been and always will be sleep. So give great importance to the beds and to the sleeping experience. Make your customers’ sleep a pleasant and unique experience! Themed rooms, hidden lighting and impressive headboards are good solutions to offer the diversity that many are looking for.

Decorating with original ideas based on your customers

The decoration of a hotel is about its overall image: from the carpets and curtains to the colors on the walls and the pillows, it would be good if they had uniformity and fit the general philosophy of the accommodation that you want to convey to your customers. Even the smallest detail can make a big difference. So take into account the latest trends in decoration and don’t be afraid to be original with fresh ideas that will highlight your space.

Energy identity and environmental awareness

The energy part in a hotel is one of the most important parts, both for energy and financial reasons, but also for environmental reasons. Environmental awareness in a hotel should be a hallmark and the correct energy footprint should be a guiding force in the redesign and renovation of your accommodation. Some of the changes you can make are the installation of a new heating system, the insulation of the rooms, the installation or maintenance of air conditioners and the replacement of window frames. Environmental improvements to the structure of a hotel are very important in order to minimize the effects of its operation in the environment.

Never forget the architectural lighting

Lighting is your secret ally! The right architectural lighting is the one that always works in harmony with the space 24 hours a day and the one that creates a warm and friendly atmosphere. The possibilities that technology now offers, such as fiber optics, color changes and LEDs in indoor and outdoor lighting are endless! A proper lighting highlights every space qualitatively, upgrades living conditions and social life.

We keep in mind that things have changed. We have moved from the traditional role of simple hospitality, of a bed to simply sleep at night, to a dynamic and complex combination of high-level services and amenities.

All these are of utmost importance for the character and identity of a good hotel.
