A hotel lobby is often used as a transition area. However, in García Requejo we think that it is one of the most important parts of a hotel. Why? Because it is the first place the hotel guests see, and getting a positive first impression is essential.
Over the years, lobbies have become a crucial part in a hotel. Now, they act as meeting spaces where collaborating and working, resting areas, or places to have a leisurely coffee.
Lights are essential to define a lobby personality and make guests feel warm and welcomed. Wall lights, big pendant lights, floor lamps… Everything is possible to get the perfect atmosphere.
This way, when designing a lobby, we need to think about its needs, and consider several factors, such as symmetry, scale, style, natural light, intention and the functional perspective. It is very important to take care of the basics because perfection is achieved with the smallest details.
Lighting affects our senses and emotions, so we need to adapt to the guests needs and to what we want to get.
For example, if you intend to create a warm, soft and calm atmosphere, indirect lighting is the best choice. Downlights or even LED strips are recommended to provide a comfortable space.

If, on the other hand, what you are looking for is an inviting environment, it can be achieved by using intense directional lighting in a few small areas, such as tables, specific objects, sofas or, for example, a picture on the wall.
Outdoor spaces are usually well illuminated by natural lighting, but LED Downlights can also be used to focus the attention to some little details.
These lobbies are perfect to set up a big spectacular lamp which can get the attention of the visitors. A gorgeous chandelier gives a sense of luxury and sophistication to the hotel. Choosing between a vintage style classic chandelier and a modern ceiling lamp depends on what complements your existing design scheme.
It is important not to forget to illuminate the reception, as it is necessary to make it seem light and welcoming.
