The best hotels create cosy, personal and intimate spaces that make us feel something special. Many hotel managers are aware that a unique hotel design is the best way to stand out among the rest. When both the destination and the hotel are amazing, travelling becomes much more exciting. In many cases, the designs are adapted to the country or area the hotel is in, from modern New York to the ethnic style of Zanzibar.
“A unique hotel design is the best way to stand out among the rest”
The best decorated hotels in the world know of this, and we can tell by how they’re usually on the latest trends in both paint and coatings, indoor and outdoor.
Charming hotels around the world
Elle DECOR considers that the 15 most beautiful hotels in the world have one thing in common: they make us fall in love and amaze us at the same time with their original designs. Some of those hotels are:
- Walled Tsingpu Yangzhou Retreat (China), which has integrated every one of its spaces with nature, combining stone, wood and brick structures.
- Freycinet Lodge Coastal Pavilions (Tasmania), with granite and wood structures that reflect the landscape to help the traveller escape from their everyday life.
- The Mist Hotspring Resort (China), which has coloured glass cladding to reflect the light of day.
- Kintele Congress Hotel (Republic of the Congo): this incredible hotel combines structures and coatings made of wood, local stone and aluminium.
- Aqualagon Water Park (France): the most renowned part is the swimming pool, which has a spectacular indoors treatment. The main building is made of stone and glass and reflects light throughout the whole year.
Innovative paint and coating applications
Paint and coating application in the world of hotels usually goes hand in hand with the evolution of architecture and design that we see in the market. Here are some of the most original indoor and outdoor applications.
Indoors
When indoors, both paint and paper are widely used options for decorating hotel rooms and facilities. Apart from indoor plastic paint, we can also see applications with matt, satin, glossy, latex or artistic paint, with very original textures or prints. There is also acoustic insulation paint for hotel hallways.
Decorative vinyl paper has become increasingly popular in the past few years, and the materials from which it’s made have also varied (cellulose, textiles, vinyl, etc.). Geometric patterns and contrasts are key to delimit the different spaces, especially in common areas.
Outdoors
When it comes to outdoor installations, we can see a great variety of coatings depending on the area of application and the desired effect: ceramic coatings, for ceilings, for walls, adhesive, hydrophobic with stone effect (one of the latest trends), PVC, vinyl or textured.
The latter uses contrasts to create the perfect space. For example, the outdoor of a cafeteria can be delimited with a stone panel and a brick one. Let’s not forget about outdoor paint as well! It creates a bonding effect between the indoor and outdoor space and adds warmth to the whole place.
