Taking inspiration from a rich variety of sources – from nature and history to maximalist aesthetics – hotel operators are forging unforgettable experiences for guests through architecture and interior design. We highlight three key trends set to influence hotel design in 2024 and beyond.

Salvation in Nature

Mindful Constructions

Confident + Colourful Design Cues

Aware of the environmental and mental health benefits of biophilic design, architects and interior designers embrace the natural world as prime inspiration for hotel design. An evolution of our At One with Nature theme from Hospitality Design + Spaces: 2023, accommodation is now viewed as an extension of landscape – or existing in symbiosis with it – rather than simply a means to feel closer to nature.

Salvation in Nature

Aware of the environmental and mental health benefits of biophilic design, architects and interior designers embrace the natural world as prime inspiration for hotel design. An evolution of our At One with Nature theme from Hospitality Design + Spaces: 2023, accommodation is now viewed as an extension of landscape – or existing in symbiosis with it – rather than simply a means to feel closer to nature.

Mindful Constructions

From choosing materials to navigating spatial dimensions, architects and interior designers are taking a considered approach to hospitality design. While some are incorporating reclaimed supplies into hotel construction (a savvy, planet-friendly hack), others are respectfully revamping historical buildings into new accommodation. Elsewhere, hotel operators are maximising the potential of tight spaces by prioritising functionality, achieving an open, airy ambiance.

Confident + Colourful Design Cues

Through a riot of colour, pattern and texture, hotels are offering guests a memorable feast for the eyes. Enter maximalist interiors, extravagant art collections and playfully curvaceous architecture. See our More Is More theme in Restaurant & Bar Spaces: 24/25 for further thinking on this topic.
