Today’s hospitality industry in the Southeastern United States is embracing guests with unique construction. Keeping up with the latest trends with a localized experience, instead of a cookie cutter approach. Consumers have a variety of choices when it comes to hotels. Catering not only to their lifestyle, but also their experience and budget.
“For the longest time, it was all about repetition and economies of scale,” says Keith Simmel, AIA, LEED AP, Principal of the Hospitality Studio at Cooper Carry in Atlanta. “Even though those things are still very important, we’re weaving more and more local flavor into a hotel so that it creates an experience unique to a specific place.”
The hospitality industry has the opportunity to create an authentic, one of a kind experience, that guest will remember and keep them coming back.
This includes the overall essence, that isn’t just limited to the public areas, but include the materials and lighting in the guest rooms.
A SHIFTING OF SPACE
According to the Building Design and Construction, Hotels Embrace Place, “Rising real estate costs and evolving guest preferences are inspiring a reshaping of hotel layouts to make the most productive use of interior space. Generally, guest rooms are getting smaller, while public spaces are increasing in size—a phenomenon similar to the office sector’s trend toward less “me” space and more “we” space.”
Guests are expecting more, whether it is new construction or renovations of an existing property, their indelible and soulful experience will not only make them repeat customers, they will share their experience on social media, telling their friends and family.
Drywall, metal framing, painting, waterproofing, flooring, can make all the difference. SWET Construction Group (SCG) and Structural Contractors South (SCS) are two companies under one roof that offer complete interior and exterior finish packages to clients from new construction to rehab and remediation.
