What you have just read is some simple advice to help you keep the elements that you should pay particular attention to under control for the hotel lighting project that has been commissioned.

But to put these suggestions into practice correctly, you should first reflect on the most suitable type of lighting that will enhance the internal and external areas, taking into consideration their use. Attention to detail in the decorative lighting for hotels will act as a determining factor in your choice but also in the impact it has on the visitors and their memories.

Believe us when we say that customers will always choose an elegant environment with attention to detail that is well lit both internally and externally.

Now, we will take a look at the specifics and analyse the indoor and outdoor lighting solutions for a hotel.

1. Indoor decorative lamps for hotels

Hall

When it comes to decorative lighting for hotels, hospitality comes first. This is why close attention to the lighting at the entrance of the hotel is essential to impress visitors. For the hotel lobby, we prefer chandeliers that provide directional light to the reception, which shine with personality (but without clashing with the rest of the lighting fixtures) and create a sensation of warmth, which is the most important.

In this regard, Le Trulle could be an excellent choice. We are talking about suspension lamps in ceramic and white metal wire , with a simple and delicate look, able to fill the rooms with intense light and give the observer a sense of intimacy.

Or you might be interested in the effect created by Plancton, another suspension lamp, which gives the room a soft and welcoming light gradation.

Instead, if you are looking for a decorative chandelier with a traditional style but with a touch of creativity, Déjà-Vu could be the lighting solution you’re looking for. They are suspension lamps in glossy white or opaque ceramic, hung from the ceiling at staggered levels, forming a dynamic and impactful composition.

Reception

Beyond the entrance, we find the reception, the check-in point where the staff interacts and welcomes customers. This place needs decorative lighting lamps that can offer both task lighting and ambient lighting.

In this case, you have several options: your choice of style will vary according to the functional needs of the area to be illuminated. Do you want to illuminate the environments in an intelligent way and without wasting energy? You could install recessed LED lamps.

These lamps can illuminate environments efficiently, created in the image and likeness of the traditional light bulb, but with a modern touch: frosted glass in different colours.

This model of suspension lamp has the ability to store and direct the light in a vertical direction thus illuminating surfaces impeccably. Moreover, the galaxy-shaped incisions on the white metal lampshade filter the light and allow small luminous waves to disperse through the atmosphere, making it intimate and comfortable.

Rooms

Choose a type of decorative lighting that can give a comfortable and familiar look to the bedrooms.

Visitors, even if away from their homes, want to feel at home. Therefore, the goal is to recreate an atmosphere of comfort within the bedrooms, always ensuring maximum functionality.

You could place wall lamps above the bedside tables for focal points with warm tones around the bed.

In addition, if there is a desk in the room, place one or more table lamps on it to ensure proper lighting for work and reading.

Bathroom

It is a small space, but even the bathroom needs specific and functional lighting due to its size. Choose a brightness level suitable for each location and make this environment a small corner of relaxation.

A wall lamp like Make up, placed above the mirrors, for example, could decorate and bring functionality to this corner dedicated not only to relaxation but personal care.

Use sources of indirect light and soft tones, avoiding the placement of lamps directly against the mirrors and above the bathtub and shower, both to maintain a certain intimacy of space and to avoid blinding the guests.

Corridors

Hallway lighting is often overshadowed in lighting projects designed for hotels. The corridors lead to the rooms and outside areas of the hotel, which is why they need optimal lighting to facilitate the orientation of the guests.

To ensure customers can move around more easily, you could install wall lamps, such as Amarcord or Stant, along the passage areas to decorate the walls and give the spaces homogeneous and directional brightness. The clean and essential design of Amarcord and Stant reinterprets the lines of old oil lamps in a modern way.

Bar and restaurant

Guests entering the refreshment areas should immediately perceive an atmosphere of conviviality and relaxation. Adjust the lighting of the bar and restaurant according to service hours.

During breakfast, let in natural light; let the guests enjoy the morning light to start the day. For lunchtime, focus on dynamism and a gradation of light that stimulates your guests to consume quickly . At dinnertime, instead, play with lights and shadows, giving the environment a quiet and formal appearance.

Choose lamps that can optimally illuminate tables and workstations. In doing so, the focal points created by the lamps will not only guide the guests to their table, but once accommodated will allow them to read the menu in comfort and savour the dishes visually before tasting them, and the staff will be able to work with more ease.

As for the bar, you could create a stimulating atmosphere by installing 24 Karati suspension lamps, positioned above the counter. The colour of this lamp and the polished forms of the layered glass give the light a vaporous and suffusive aspect.

Spa and wellness centre

Make space for warmth and relaxation in this area of the hotel. Here the customer should reach a peace of mind and feel completely at ease. Try to imagine an atmosphere with accentuated shadows and small sources of soft and indirect light , scattered here and there to give the eye points of reference.

A sphere of soft light like Braille, proposed both as a wall lamp and as a floor lamp, is a suitable choice for a relaxed and intimately charged atmosphere.

Conference room

For this common space, used for meetings, workshops and formal work events, energetic decorative lighting is needed, able to stimulate the simple design. Ceiling lights placed on various points of the ceiling will give the room a practical, non-excessive decorative appearance.

2. Outdoor decorative lamps for hotels

The illuminations used to decorate the exterior areas of the hotel should reflect the mood of the lamps installed inside. We know that first impressions count and, for this, taking care of the exterior of a hotel should not be underestimated.

The exterior image of a hotel is of vital importance, as it is the first preview of the climate inside, and deserves careful attention.

Satisfying customer expectations and convincing them that the hotel you are designing can offer a unique experience is not easy, but if you choose the most suitable lighting systems to enhance the outdoor areas that make up the hotel, then you are already several steps ahead.

External courtyard

Being able to take advantage of the hotel’s outdoor spaces will make the guests’ experience unique. If you are planning to have anoutdoor patio, choose decorative lighting solutions that act as a continuation of the internal atmosphere.

Even outdoors, guests want to feel like they are in an intimate and warm space, so choose a lamp with a soft and light luminosity like Kimono that creates soft and relaxing tones. The fibreglass texture of this lantern filters the rays of light and allows them to dissolve into the environment in a suffusive way.

Garden

Enhancing the green spaces outside the hotel with the right lighting will enhance your visitors’ stay. You could create paths by installing lamps that will guide and accompany guests on their walks.

Xana, one of the newest lighting proposals by Karman, is an interesting choice of outdoor decorative lighting. These are real wells of intense light radiated upwards, which guide guests outdoors.

Pool

The pool is often used in the daylight, but it is also an element of decoration and not common to all hotels. If you are dealing with the lighting of a hotel that owns one, we suggest you take advantage of a type of decorative lighting suitable for this architectural element that already in itself decorates and enriches the space it occupies.

Choose floor lamps for the edge of the pool to highlight the outline.

Don't Touch could be the appropriate lighting solution for this specific case. These lamps illuminate the edges of the pool and frame it. Moreover, the white elements that surround the lamp direct the light upwards, creating an impactful visual effect.
