This is the future of hotel design after coronavirus, according to hospitality architects - Business Insider

Expect a blurred line between indoor and outdoor areas in hotels. Hotel San Luis Obispo in California pictured.In light of the coronavirus pandemic, hotels are planning significant changes into their architecture and design.The hotel stay of the not-so-distance future will involve touchless systems, multifunctional spaces, and conference rooms that open up to the outdoors.

"I don't think the whole notion of health and safety is going to go away," Gensler principal Tom Ito told Business Insider. And it might be about time anyway. As Krista Ninivaggi, founder of Manhattan-based interior design firm K and Co., said, "Hotel flags have been adopting mobile or virtual check-in for years. It seems like this might be a good time for guests to [become] accustomed to this as the norm to alleviate lines or crowding at reception."The main objective for the new lobby design will be to create multipurpose spaces.

Sofio said that all new social distancing signs will be branded to match the hotel's colors, lettering, and graphics: "We will make these as interesting and least distracting as possible while playing it safe."Courtesy of Built, Inc.Guest rooms might be the single most important part to consider in the great COVID-19 hotel redesign.

Built, Inc. is also emphasizing hands-free designs that minimize contact points in doorways and when activating plumbing. "We are designing our own foot pull to be attached onto existing doors so people can avoid touching door handles when unlocked," Sofio said. "We used to think that seeing people clean things [should be invisible], but now you want to bring them to the forefront."The goal now, Ito said, is to integrate these elements into the design of the space in a way that both looks good and advances what he dubbed "the perception of cleanliness."The pandemic will likely affect the considerations that go into airflow systems in hotel construction.

"The notion of getting 1,000 people in a room doesn't seem very appealing right now," Gensler's Ito said. "The long play is we're seeing more of the spaces that are smaller and more intimate that can be combined later.
