Think Beyond Check-in and Check out

01/04/2020

Just imagine you walk inside a hotel lobby and you get a glimpse of those boring architecture, dull colours and no socializing theme, the idea of “the first impression goes long-lasting” will fail at that moment. Gone are the days when the lobby of the hotels were just a seating space between the check-in and check-out moment. Now, it’s more of private space and also a hangout zone. Obviously, the customer choices are now based on the quality and not on the affordability rates. Everyone wants to come out from their stress zone, whether they are on a business trip or a holiday outing. For that, you really need to modify your lobbies.

‘I Need To Relax’

It’s very important these days for the hoteliers to have a bunch of facilities ready in your lobby. Hardly, nowadays anyone comes over to sleep in their hotel rooms. Instead, hotel lobbies are the places where more time is spent. Rather than having that extra space covering furniture, go for facilities like a lounge in the corner side. Well, a small library will also fit in for the book lovers. The leisure time is now well spent in the lobby.

‘Thank God! You Have It all’

For all those on business trips and meetings, they need a place to stretch, relax and work. If lobbies would provide them with free wifi, electrical outlets, charging stations and complimentary beverages, why will they get tired of working all day long? With also a play area for relaxing in between, it would be like a cherry on top.

‘The Architecture and Colour Suits Me’

What if a hotel in Goa has some sort of dull colours painted on its walls. Wouldn’t it be like a mismatch? The lobby can undoubtedly give a refreshing impression to its customers. With the best colour schemes and textures on the walls and with the best sense of architecture according to the city will transform the lobby in the modern era differentiating it from the traditional.

‘Oh! We Can Have a Trip Inside’

The most important task of the hoteliers is to set the mood of their guests. So, the better is the mood of the lobby, more pleasing the guests will be the moment they arrive. Suppose, your hotel is in the pink city ‘Jaipur’, the lobby should reflect an overview of the culture, history and the sights of that place. It should be like you are on an excursion inside your hotel.

The traditional old lobbies have been transformed into modern lobbies that are more catering to the needs of the guests. Hoteliers now have a sense of the changing expectations of the people while selecting a hotel. From ambience to facilities to architecture, everything in a hotel lobby is changing. It’s no longer a place to wait. Rather it’s a place to cheer. Yes, it’s said that ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover.’ But certainly, you need to judge it by its contents. So, make your content satisfactory and charm your guests by giving them a feeling of relaxation at your lobby.
