Negosentro | How to Transform Your Boutique Hotel by Bringing Nature In | Boutique hotels are becoming increasingly popular routes for those who want the unique variety of properties that Airbnb can offer, with all of the amenities included. Adding cleaning services, complimentary breakfasts, the opportunity to order room service, and a receptionist service to your unique property can immediately increase revenue and interest.
There is one catch. Boutique hotels need to stand out. They need to be getaway vacations in their own right. They are for couples who want a romantic weekend away, or for those that want to treat themselves to their birthday. They aren’t usually geared toward budget travelers or business travelers.
This means that your guests are going to expect more out of the décor, and one of the best ways to do that is to marry beautiful design with nature. To help transform your space into a holiday destination in its own right, use these top tips to help:
Upgrade Your Gardens
Gardens are often overlooked when it comes to design, but they can be a true highlight for a boutique hotel. After all, you want guests to feel like they can comfortably spend more than one or two days just at the hotel itself. If they can hang out in beautiful gardens, go for a walk nearby, and enjoy a delicious dinner on the premises, then booking at your hotel will be worth their time.
Creating a stunning garden space offers a second benefit: It means you can accommodate more people for a wedding, even if you don’t have a banquet space. Outdoor weddings are very popular, and if you can then offer rooms for the married couple, their parents, and perhaps a few close friends and family you’ll be a top pick.
Upgrade the Views
When you invest in the natural space around your hotel, you then need to consider how to improve the visual access to those spaces. Winter, rainy days, and even slow mornings are all going to be spent inside. Just because your guests are inside, however, does not mean that they shouldn’t feel connected to the outside space. To accomplish this, you can upgrade the windows so that they’re larger, add new windows, and replace any old, ugly, and bulky fencing by hiring a Q-railing installer to put in a glass railing.
A glass railing will let guests see far beyond the scope of your property. If your hotel backs out onto a beautiful vineyard or opens up to a view of a valley, for example, then you want to offer unrestricted views without compromising on safety.
Keep in mind this applies both inside and out. If you have large statement windows then you don’t want to clutter the view inside with bulky railings. Glass railings and fences will let the eye skip right past those safety features and to the world beyond.
Decorate with Flora
The final way to upgrade your boutique hotel by bringing nature into the space is to decorate with plants and flowers. Don’t immediately think that you need to keep up costly fresh-cut flowers to compete, either. Choose house plants that are easy to care for, and don’t be afraid to invest in high-quality fake options for darker corners of the room. Polymer flower bouquets can be expensive, but their quality will replicate fresh flowers to the passing eye.
