What kind of rooms are favored by modern business guests

As the global economy continues to grow, today's business guests are becoming a larger and larger group, and their expectations for hotel stays are becoming more and more demanding. Different brands of business hotels may have very different room sizes, interior designs, furniture configurations and bathroom styles. A high-quality business hotel, especially the international brand of high-end business hotel rooms have their own distinctive characteristics.

Another characteristic of today's successful business guest is that this group is getting younger and younger. In order to adapt to this market change, more and more high-end international brand business hotels are or tend to take the "fashion route". Representatives of this "fashion line" include Starwood's W brand, Hilton International's CONRAD brand and Marriott's JW brand. At the same time, some of the Ritz-Carlton brand hotels (e.g., Singapore) are known for their classic style. Meanwhile, some hotels under the Ritz-Carlton brand, which is known for its classic style (e.g., the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Singapore) and the Hilton brand, have been opened. Carlton hotels in Singapore) and Hilton hotels have also stepped out of tradition and become modern, stylish and young. The Beijing Hilton, which just underwent a room renovation, is following the popular style of today's hospitality industry and is favored by more and more business people.

The spring breeze in March has blown away the cold winter weather in the capital. The sunshine through the clouds brings the warmth of spring. H&R welcomes the breath of spring and enters the historic but brand-new hotel in the capital, Beijing Hilton Hotel.

The lobby of the hotel is simple and clean, with the lobby bar occupying almost the entire space. The Roman church-style round glass roof, which must be looked up to see, the noble but not cumbersome characteristics of business hotels are manifested through these two places.

Traditional Chinese palanquins, vases, paintings and screens, without leaving any traces, are appropriately embellished, creating a unique hotel culture.

Beijing Hilton officially opened its doors in 1993, and was the first hotel of Hilton International in China. Over the years, the hotel has welcomed countless Chinese and foreign business travelers in Beijing's new CBD business district and diplomatic embassy area.

The hotel's General Manager, Mr. Ye Jinzheng, arrived three years ago and has been involved in the entire process of the hotel's renovation, witnessing the evolution of the Beijing Hilton from a solemn and serious hotel to a relaxed and stylish one. The Hilton Group has responded to the market trend of seeking new ideas, and through design and remodeling, the hotel has been transformed to give a new meaning to the famous Hilton brand.

Mr. Yap Kim Jang, General Manager, said, "At the moment, we have only completed the renovation of the guest rooms, which is modern and stylish, but it is not just about attracting the younger generation of guests. As a renowned hotel brand, the Hilton of today is no longer the Hilton that was favored by grandparents and fathers, but the Hilton that should be favored by current and future generations."

We met with Mr. Ye at the hotel's JUNIOR SUITE, which was originally the DELUXE ROOM. According to Mr. Ye, the size of a standard Hilton room is 32 square meters, while this room is 45 square meters, and the color palette is dominated by wood, with light brown curtains and striped carpets and goose-yellow linear sofas to accentuate a sense of dignity and efficiency in a business hotel. The light brown curtains and striped carpet and the goose-colored linear sofa emphasize the solemnity and efficiency of a business hotel. The guest rooms also feature the multifunctionality favored by modern business guests, where you can use office facilities such as fax, telephone, photocopying, printing and e-mail without leaving your home. Designers in the design of the business guests in addition to rest most of the time in the office characteristics of the office area is designed to be unique and practical: curved glass desk connected to a variety of office supplies can be placed on the combination of office furniture, guests do not have to get up when working, just sit in the office chair at any time to move to the office supplies where the position can be. As a combination of office furniture and wall inlays, only the desktop above the part of the hierarchical design, and below the space is wide, sitting in the office chair, guests do not have any obstacles to the feet, which is very consistent with the characteristics of the human body's seat posture, in addition, the backrest of the leather fabric office chairs is curved, the chair quality, comfort and durability, very humane. In order to save indoor space, closet and other facilities are also connected to the wall, the overall feeling is very coordinated.

The wide and moderate height of the head of one end of the bed is connected with the combination of office furniture, saving the space occupied by the bedside table in the guest room. Mirrors are used more frequently in the guest room, on the office furniture and on the walls, increasing the sense of space and transparency in the guest room. The TV cabinet is slightly higher than the bed, with clean and clear lines.

The guest room a variety of lamps and lighting organic combination of clever design: a reading lamp from the sofa behind the "probe", the ceiling is dotted around several major sources of lighting, simple table lamps at first glance like a frame, detailed and delicate, but the brightness is sufficient, the bedside lamp, although the shape of a simple, but the luminosity of a soft, cozy, the head of the bed. The reading lamp on the top, small and stylish, can be adjusted by hand for height, very convenient for guests to read in bed at night.

The entire guest room is also very careful with the shades of color: dark TV cabinet placed on the silver-gray shell of the TV, goose yellow fabric sofa cushions are dark brown, white bedding, lampshades and dark office chairs, dual-line telephone, etc., including the wall of the black frame with white background but colorful decorative paintings, all complement each other, but all interpreted the sense of the times of business hotels.

In addition, the spacious bathroom and complete, high-quality bathing facilities with the same light color, looks relaxed and stylish, the wall opposite the bathtub, installed LCD TV, after a busy day, the guests can be completely relaxed here, wash away the fatigue and tension. And there are several lights installed in the bathroom, which are functional and generously shaped, all designed to meet the needs of the guests in a very humanized way.

Mr. Ye Jinzheng believes that whether a hotel should be remodeled depends first of all on its commercial value. If a hotel has high commercial value, like the Beijing Hilton, which has been operating successfully for more than 10 years, and the hardware, such as the carpets, has become obsolete, despite its full functionality, then it should be completely remodeled. In addition to this, the purpose of the remodeling is to bring the hotel in line with the image standards of the Hilton brand. The style and image of the Hilton brand has never changed over the years. In order to meet the market demand, the Hilton Group has kept pace with the times, and the brand image has evolved to be fashionable and modernized. In addition to the Beijing Hilton, the Hilton hotels in Chongqing, Athens and Bangkok have been remodeled to be more in line with the characteristics of the times and the needs of the new generation of business guests while integrating local characteristics.

The remodeling of the Beijing Hilton took nearly a year to prepare and is now complete with some of the guest rooms remodeled. When we asked why the interior renovation started with the guest rooms, Mr. Ye told us that it was because the guest rooms are the area that generates the most benefits. It is not difficult to verify the saying that "money should be spent on the blade of the knife first". Mr. Ye also told us that before the renovation, the owner and the management had discussed and calculated the investment, rate of return and design style many times to make sure that every penny invested in the renovation would lay the foundation for the creation of benefits again and maximize the commercial value of the hotel.

As a typical city business hotel, guests' requirements for hotel facilities change over time. This is an important aspect for designers to serve the owners and operations. Mr. Ye gave us an example, modern fashion hotel design are inseparable from the "real" design, will use some mirrors and glass, whether in the guest room or bathroom, this is not wrong, but must be used with caution, because the guest room to increase the glass and mirrors will be given to the hotel cleaning staff to directly increase the workload, which of course, directly affects the hotel operating costs. affect the hotel's operating costs.

Modern, stylish, full of fresh and warm atmosphere of the Beijing Hilton Hotel, the quality of the guest rooms has been improved in all aspects, after the transformation, although the average price has maintained a high level, but the guests are still very agreeable, this is the answer we get from the very high occupancy rate after the transformation. We believe that after the renovation, she will usher in a brighter tomorrow with a brand new look.
