Hotel furniture plays an important role in the perception and function of a hotel. Of course, hotel furniture needs to enhance the space visually, helping to shape the theme or design aesthetic, but it also has to be useable, and comfortable. Additionally, think about how certain pieces of furniture might make your hotel workflow more efficient, such as stackable furniture for easy storage, or robust surfaces that can stand up for frequent cleaning and use.

Hotel restaurants face almost identical challenges to independent restaurant operators. Just like with restaurants, hotel restaurants and dining spaces need to serve good food while also  dedicating themselves to the enjoyment of the dining experience which is about food, service, ambience and atmosphere. The difference between regular restaurants and hotel restaurants is that hotel restaurant furniture needs to fit cohesively with the rest of the hotel design. If the two are not aligned then guests are met with a confused design instead of a thoughtfully curated experience. To discover more about how to select hotel restaurant furniture see our Restaurant Tables & Chairs Buyer’s Guide.

When you’re considering hotel table sizes the right table size will depend on how many covers are required on each table and what the table is used for. Is the restaurant a multipurpose space that is part restaurant, and part multi-purpose space? Do you need to move furniture constantly or will the hotel restaurant furniture be a permanent fixture? Do you offer a full sit-down dining service or is your hotel dining space more of a cocktail bar with light snacks? Of course, drinks require less table space than meals so you can accommodate more tables with you opt for tables with a smaller footprint. Fine dining, on the other hand, requires larger tables so that guests can enjoy their tasting menu without feeling crowded. Our Hospitality Table Size Guide breaks down everything you need to know about hospitality table sizes so you can make the best hotel furniture decisions for your hotel restaurant.

 

Hotel furniture is an essential element in shaping an inviting atmosphere that gives guests a great first impression - after all, you only get one chance at it. Not only that, but hotel furniture serves to give guests a comfortable, and curated experience throughout the duration of their stay.

Hotel furniture across every hotel area contributes to first impressions and the guest experience.

 

Hotel bedroom furniture goes beyond function. It serves to infuse relaxation and elegance into a hotel room. Each piece of hotel room furniture contributes to creating a harmonious haven for guests.

Hotel bedroom furniture usually consists of a few key components such as a hotel desk chair and some sort of hotel desk seating like a stool or swivel chair. It would also include at least one occasional chair that’s perfect for a comfortable, relaxing read or a morning coffee. Our usual request is for a chair that makes a design statement but doesn’t have a large footprint. Part of designing a comfortable space is making sure that there is a good flow, and a large chair taking up valuable real estate can sometimes compromise that. 

Of course, hotel bedroom furniture is a key component for defining how a guest can enjoy their stay at your hotel. It’s important to think about things like colours, fabric textures, and lighting, ensuring a good mix of task and accent lighting, plus natural light. The general feel of a hotel room should be calm and relaxing. It’s where guests come to rest on their travels, between long days of sightseeing, etc… Put yourself in a guest’s shoes and think about what hotel furniture choices would make an impact on your stay.

 

Well-chosen hotel lobby furniture and hotel reception furniture are the perfect way to create a lasting first impression. Use your furniture and other design resources to really highlight your hotel’s design theme, and make sure that the space feels comforting and welcoming as soon as guests walk through your doors. Of course, you need to consider all factors when it comes to hotel furniture such as comfort, robustness and maintenance. 

Pro tip: Don't forget about the design of the back of your seating! It’s often a surprise to realise the importance of this often-overlooked feature. It can be a way to inject a lot of personality into your design, and it's often one of the first things guests see.

Hotel dining chairs are very similar to restaurant dining chairs, of course, as hotels have their own ‘in-house’ restaurant. Let’s dive into what you need to know about specifying contract hotel dining chairs. Crafting the perfect dining experience in a hotel setting involves careful consideration of comfort, style, and practicality. Hotel dining chairs, like restaurant chairs, share common components but there are also some specific nuances that cater to the unique requirements of hotel furniture.

 

When you’re choosing hotel furniture you need to consider both its form and function, and that’s just as true of hotel dining chairs. Comfort is paramount. Guests will come to sit and eat for extended periods during their dining experience so ensuring they are comfortable is extremely important. After all, if you have to sit in an uncomfortable chair for a long time it will likely detract from your enjoyment of your meal. Consider furniture with an ergonomic design or well-padded upholstery to contribute to a pleasurable dining atmosphere.

 

Just like with restaurant chairs, the choice of frame material significantly impacts the chair's durability and style. Hotels are often high-traffic areas where guests come to use your services and relax. Because of this, your furniture will go through quite a lot of wear and tear. Wood, metal, and plastic are excellent and versatile options for your hotel, with wood often lending a classic elegance, metal providing a modern edge, and plastic being a lightweight and contemporary choice.

 

Upholstery is another crucial aspect, and fabrics must align with the hotel's design theme while being resistant to stains and wear. Leather, faux leather, and high-quality fabrics are popular choices. Patterns and colours should reflect the hotel's brand identity and overall aesthetic.

 

Dimensions play a critical role in ensuring guest comfort. Seat height, depth, and backrest angle should encourage a relaxed posture for lingering meals. Whether you choose armchairs or armless chairs, they should offer sufficient space around the table and allow ease of movement. Consider, as well, that armchairs may or may not fit under table tops. If they don’t then that is cutting into valuable floor space affecting the number of covers you can do and the flow around the dining room.

 

One thing that sometimes sets hotel dining chairs apart from restaurant chairs is the potential for more elaborate designs. Of course, you can opt for ornate patterns and elaborate designs in your restaurant also, but hotels often seek chairs that make a statement, coordinating with the overall interior design scheme. Intricate details such as tufting, decorative stitching, or custom embroidery can bring a sense of luxury and cohesion to the hotel spaces.

 

Similar to restaurant chairs, maintenance considerations are vital. Choosing materials that are easy to clean and maintain is essential for keeping up a pristine appearance over time. Additionally, stacking or non-stacking options can impact storage and flexibility. This is especially true if you use the restaurant as an event space for weddings and parties. The option to store furniture away efficiently is paramount.

 

Contract hotel dining chairs demand a blend of comfort, aesthetics, and durability. Lean on our experienced sales team to help you thoughtfully select frame materials, upholstery, dimensions, and customization options for your hotel furniture. Dining tables and dining chairs can be curated to enhance the hotel's dining spaces ensuring memorable experiences for guests while achieving harmony between design and functionality.

 

Outdoor hotel furniture, from dining sets to lounge seating and sun loungers, allows guests to embrace the elements, elevating outdoor experiences. Outdoor hotel furniture can also include compact dining sets and loungers for balconies and other spa furniture.

Outdoor hotel furniture can make all the difference, especially in the warmer months of the year. Having a space where guests can enjoy the sun and fresh air not only enhances their enjoyment of your hotel, but also provides new service opportunities for you as a hotelier, such as an outdoor cafe, or wine bar. It could also create new opportunities for outdoor activities guests can buy into. Being selective about how you furnish the various areas of your hotel will make a massive difference in how your guests enjoy your space.
