Hotel design is a science, which is very important to the construction and operation cost, investment and operation success of hotels. There are many problems in hotel design because some investors and designers don't pay attention to and understand the planning and design of the hotel. Generally speaking, the typical manifestations of these problems can be divided into ten categories:
1. Out of thin air
Before hotel design, we must first complete market research, hotel site selection, hotel positioning, hotel scale and grade determination, project feasibility analysis and so on. Some investors did not seriously do the preliminary work of the overall design and directly started the hotel design work. Some investors decided to invest in a new hotel based on their perceptual knowledge of visiting several hotels, and the design unit did not intervene in the initial stage of hotel preparation.
2. Except gold and jade
Some hotels are beautiful in appearance, but their internal functional planning, decoration and decorative design are in a mess, with unprofessional design, poor practicality and lack of artistry. After the hotel began to operate, it began to knock and knock, constantly forming decoration expenses or secondary investment that should not be spent. Some hotels don't even have a chance to make up for the original design defects (such as mismatch), which is a lifelong regret. A very important reason is that designers do not understand the needs of hotel management and the functions of various facilities, and design from the perspective of pure architectural art, rather than from the unique attributes of hotels and consumer demand. Some design drawings are too rash and simple, such as paying little attention to the design of hotel rooms, only taking it as a simple combination of standard legends, and there is no further detailed supporting design for room furniture.
3. Stealing the concept
Due to the huge investment in hotel projects, the national policy restricts the construction of buildings and halls from a macro perspective. Therefore, some state-owned enterprises, government departments, institutions and other investors set up projects in the name of training centers, activity centers, reception centers and comprehensive services, and then transform them into hotels after completion. Such hotels are often more like hotels than hotels. Many building structures, facilities and equipment, functional layout, etc. Can not meet the needs of hotel professional management, congenital deficiency, the day after tomorrow can not be changed.
Complete imitation
The design of the new hotel is not tailored to local conditions, nor is it linked to meeting the needs of hotel management and consumers. It simply imitates a hotel or comprehensively imitates many hotels, and even inherits some mistakes in the original design (such as TV cabinets, front desk reception platforms, etc.). ), resulting in just a replica of a hotel, the hotel's appearance design and functional design are the same, no progress and innovation.
5. Cultural desert
Hotels can create multiple cultures for customers: architectural culture, service culture, management culture and product culture. However, the design of many newly-built hotels now lacks theme and pursues fashion excessively. It is a lot of money, new products, new materials and new technologies piled up and pieced together. The whole design has no soul, no characteristics, and even the local decoration is very uncoordinated with the overall atmosphere of the hotel. Most hotel supplies are designed by suppliers or purchased directly from the market without professional system design, so they are mostly integrated products. Full-page products can meet the basic functions of products, but they cannot form a unique product culture. Many designs are westernized and do not reflect our traditional culture and local culture well.
Fight alone
As far as hotel design itself is concerned, its division of labor is extremely fine. In developed countries, at least a dozen experts and professional technicians in planning, municipal administration, finance, market, equipment, fire protection, lighting, acoustics, interior architecture, decoration and art participated in the design, and even management consultants, catering experts and insurance companies participated. Building a hotel involves tens of thousands of supplies, equipment and materials, each of which needs to be selected and handled by proficient experts. In fact, the design of newly-built hotels in China is mostly carried out by a design unit, and in most cases it is often led by a designer, with 1-2 novices as assistants. Because the design strength is thin, the design drawings are often full of loopholes, and it is difficult to produce fine designs.
7. Lack of overall planning
Hotel design includes functional layout and zoning design, overall planning and design, architectural design, internal and external landscape and garden design, interior decoration design, electromechanical and piping system design, VIS design, traffic organization design, management and customer service streamline design, etc. In China, design is often carried out by multiple design units and then by multiple construction units. These designs and constructions are not systematically coordinated, and in most cases, they are approved and implemented by the construction headquarters after simple review.
8. Boss perspective
Many designers are not familiar with hotel management and customer demand, nor do they take meeting the needs of hotel management and customer consumption as their design concept. When designing hotels, they often think only from the perspective of hotel investors, with the ultimate design goal of satisfying the boss (investor). One result is that many design projects are not satisfied with customers. For example, there are three drawers designed under the washbasin board in a hotel room, and guests may not use them all at once. Second, lack of foresight. If the preliminary design of the hotel is completed only to save money for the owner, it is easy to ignore the long-term use value. Because although design skills can sometimes save short-term investment costs, in the long run, it will increase the cost of maintenance and demolition.
9. Personal wishes
Some investors (including some superior leaders) impose their personal will and special preferences on hotel design, which violates the objective needs of hotel management.
10. Old people wear new clothes
Without systematic research and design, the investors pieced together the original buildings, or guest houses and old shops, and packaged and transformed them into new hotels. The dwarfs, suits and melon caps, on the whole, are far from meeting the requirements of modern hotels and need further design and transformation. There are also such problems in the local decoration of hotels. The effect of decoration is not harmonious with the whole, so we should continue to decorate.
