Hotels
In a hotel, lighting is the foundation of the guest experience. It’s the warm welcome in the lobby, the comfortable retreat of the guest room, and the vibrant energy of the bar. A great lighting plan doesn't just illuminate a space; it creates the memories that bring guests back.
Hotels and hospitality
Lighting is a critical element of hospitality design, directly influencing guest satisfaction and defining a hotel's brand identity. From the moment a guest arrives, the lighting in the lobby and reception creates the first impression, setting a tone that can be luxurious, modern, or cozy. In restaurants and bars, a dynamic lighting system is essential, allowing the atmosphere to be transformed from a bright, airy breakfast setting to an intimate, low-lit environment for evening service. In the guest rooms, the goal is to create a comfortable and functional "home away from home." This requires multiple layers of light that the guest can intuitively control: a welcoming ambient light for entry, effective task lighting for reading in bed or working at a desk, and soft, dimmable accent lighting for relaxation. Beyond the guest-facing areas, reliability and efficiency are key. In corridors, back-of-house, and conference facilities, a well-designed system ensures safety, functionality, and low operational costs. At SG Armaturen, we provide comprehensive lighting solutions that balance an unforgettable guest experience with the need for reliable and efficient operation.

Tips #1
Create a memorable arrival in the lobby
Use a dramatic decorative fixture as a focal point, combined with layers of architectural lighting like wall washes and downlights. This creates a welcoming and impressive first impression that instantly communicates your hotel's brand.

Tips #2
Layer the light in guest rooms
Provide multiple, independently controlled light sources in guest rooms: 1) Ambient for general entry, 2) Task for desks and bedside reading, and 3) Accent for a soft, relaxing mood. Ensure the controls are simple and intuitive for guests to use.

Plan for dynamic dining and social spaces
In restaurants and bars, use a high-quality dimming and control system. This allows you to completely change the atmosphere from a bright breakfast service to an intimate dinner or cocktail setting with the touch of a button.

Tips #4
Use light to guide and ensure safety
In corridors and stairwells, use a combination of overhead fixtures and low-level wall lights. This provides clear, safe navigation while creating a more sophisticated and less institutional feel than using only ceiling lights.
