Who is a hotel architect?-

A hotel architect is a person who is an expert in designing hotel buildings and ensures guest experience and lasting memory by considering sustainability and technology strategies and using his experience in hospitality design projects. Hotel architects are capable to solve hotel design technical problems which normal people are even not identified.

What Is Hotel Architecture?

The hotel architecture is a standard kind of strategy which is followed when translating client requirements into drawing to construct a hotel building. We know that the nature of hotel development is commercial so; Hotel architecture is not only responsible for its looks and designs but also responsible for the hotel’s ability to make a profit, which defines the success of hotel architecture. Hotel architecture may be different according to the type of hotel, the grade of hotel, and the facilities offered by the hotel. There are many important aspects that should follow while designing hotel architecture. Some main point is mentioned below.
• The first important point is data analysis; while we have to design hotel architecture we must research what affects the market E.g.: Tourism, Local climate, what kind of accommodation is required in that place and more like that.
• Hotel grade is another important point, while we going to design a hotel we must study what kind of hotel grade is going to design according to market demand so that we can decide what services can be provided.
• Hotel building may be small to very huge and the electricity consumption is an important factor of the hotel running cost, to avoid more expenses we must follow rules of sustainable architecture which is based on solar passive energy. It’s very helpful to reduce electricity costs throughout the building life.
• We know that hotels may have many functions like a bar, restaurant and more like that so we should always try to generate such kind of space which has minimum interaction with each other during hotel operations.
• Hotel architecture should be designed in such a manner that the noise should be minimum in the hotel building, which may be due to traffic, hotel operations, footfall and more like that, to give a great experience to the guest.
• Cultural aspect is the one other important thing which influences inside and outside environment, so while designing hotel architecture we should remember the local culture of that place which direct influence the hotel industry.
• Now a day’s many hotels follow technology for more attractive accommodation services so, hotel architecture may follow these elements also.
• We know that the hotel industry is a dynamic industry in which guest rooms are designed as per the market group’s demand E.g. business groups, individuals, couples, families and singles required different type’s guest rooms, which can find out by a study of the environment of that place.

A hotel doesn't mean a place to stay it should also tell a story with the hotel design with the involvement of culture and local aesthetics designing, And provide its guests with the environment so that they can relax, discover and provide a new experience. 
The hotel should not only be designed for function and aesthetically pleasing but also consider other important aspects like a unique experience and emotional attachment to the guest and hotel staff also.

Find out the story you want to tell-

To find out the purpose of the property is the first part of any property that gets designed. This means what kind of people you want to target and what is the local culture of that place this is the thing that should be included in designing the storyline that becomes an architecture design concept. Not only does the architectural concept tell a story but also every part should tell like the interior, restaurant, food, the operation procedure matching with the historical importance of that place.
Finding out the connection with the place it's located and matching the designing elements with that-
The climate condition important plays an important role in any architectural design whether it's residential or commercial. The important things are to reduce the bad condition of climate using sustainable concepts like building orientation, shading, and creating a buffer.
Designing the first impression elements-
There is the main area that is the entrance lobby and reception which should be designed wisely like a selfie point. That area should be clearly visible from the main gate with effort and provide a feeling of safety and comfort to travellers.
Designing of the private area for guests-
There are a few important things generally a guest needs are, storage for luggage and bags, and sufficient shower space which should be designed wisely. In modern trends, everything is divided into different areas like space for luggage and shoe. The interior design of the room should be neat and clean.

This is an important area like the lounge, restaurant, and pool area that is used by people from different cultures and needs and live common experiences and impact each other. Common areas are not only part of the guest experience but also a source of income for the hotel body.
