The more the speed of life is increasing and the more constant mobility is becoming the norm, the more important are rooms and spaces that provide a home away from home. In this context, hotel rooms constitute an essential hub as they combine travel and arrival, as well as movement and relaxation all in one. Guests should relax and feel comfortable in their hotel rooms, while also becoming inspired by the spirit of the surrounding space.
Five years after the publication of "101 Hotel Rooms", this second volume presents new examples of lifestyle quality experiences, while illustrating the talent of the two interior design experts for extraordinary room concepts and visionary design ideas - they translate emotions into design and design into atmosphere. Based on a holistic approach, the concept of hotel rooms is constantly reinvented and put into scene.
The hotel lobby as reception area and gathering place is one of the most important and prestigious areas of a hotel. Initial contact with guests is made in this public space and it plays a major role in determining whether they will feel at home during their stay. In the same way as a restaurant or bar, the lobby serves a double function - it offers relaxation and communication.
This volume uses selected international projects by Corinna Kretschmar-Joehnk and Peter Joehnk to present a wide spectrum of different ways to design these key areas of a hotel. The various design concepts from these two renowned experts create authentic locations with their own, distinctive character. Whether it's a venerable grand hotel, a trendy budget resort or a luxury boutique hotel - the right ambiance is created each and every time.
