Today we’re taking a look into one of the most important design elements of hospitality design: the reception desk. This seemingly neutral area of the hotel has more impact on the guest’s experience than one may think.
At arrival, the front desk is the first thing visitors interact with. First impressions can have a massive influence in the overall impression of not only a place but also its brand. The details may seem small and intrascendental but they are actually everything.
The texture of the desk when guests casually place their hands on top of it, its height, the scale of its surrounding area, its style, mood, and more can define the essence of the adventure to come.
Is It quiet or loud? Is the ambiance softly lit by faint warm lights or struck by cold bright sober luminescence? Is it an intimate boutique hotel or a withdrawn yet hip cosmopolitan hotel? It is a powerful design element that hotel brands can use to strengthen its identity and speak to a more defined audience.
