Make It Feel Like Home

This was one of the big trends last year, and guests are finding that a sense of comfort and ease really is an important part of the travel experience. They don’t want to have to leave the hotel to find a cool restaurant or bar they can hang out at with their friends. They want to be able to invite their friends over, enjoy some snacks and drinks together, and hang out.

Boutique hotels and lodges have done a really great job at managing this. With large living spaces, open bars, and large restaurants right on the ground floor of the hotel, there is plenty of room for all of your friends and family to collide.

Make It Feel Communal

Having a place that feels like home automatically makes it feel more communal. Large open community spaces are wonderful, but so are places where guests can eat and drink. Even if you don’t have a restaurant or a bar on premise, you can set up a buffet table with coffee, tea, wine, and cookies.

Make It Feel Modern

Though guests want to feel at home, they also don’t want to feel the mess and chaos of home. This is where all those tiny details come into play. Modern beds and desks can completely transform a living space, as can closets that are large and able to fit their entire luggage. That keeps everything nice and tidy no matter how much stuff they brought.
