Although often considered secondary in the design of hotels and resorts, bathrooms are an essential calling card that communicates order, cleanliness and comfort. These spaces are crucial to customer perception and must be carefully designed to provide a positive experience.
Water and Energy Saving
Choosing taps that reduce water and energy consumption is essential for hotels. Idral taps, equipped with advanced technologies such as timed control and photocell sensors, can reduce water consumption by up to 70 per cent for showers and 90 per cent for taps, significantly lowering bills and contributing to environmental sustainability. Investing in these technologies allows a quick payback and improves the hotel's image as an eco-friendly establishment. Adopting sustainable solutions not only attracts environmentally conscious guests, but also positions the hotel as an example in responsible resource management.
The Guest Experience
Lobby and room bathrooms must be welcoming and well equipped. The lobby bathroom serves as a crucial introduction to the entire guest experience, who inevitably form an opinion about the rest of the hotel based on this first encounter. Guests expect clean, well-designed spaces. High-quality materials are essential, and electronic or timed taps enhance hygiene and ease of use.
For room bathrooms, taking inspiration from spas, using double sinks and creating large spaces conveys a feeling of well-being. It is crucial that taps and showers are efficient and easy to use, as guests often do not know how to regulate the water. Intuitive taps with thermostatic controls from Idral offer immediate and easy interaction, preventing scalding and allowing the water temperature to be customised to the user's preferences.
Design and Image
Maintaining a consistent design from the main areas of the hotel down to the bathrooms reinforces the brand image. If the hotel has a traditional style, this should also be reflected in the bathrooms. If the style is modern, minimalist solutions with white, black and metallic finishes are ideal. Faucet finishes today offer a wide range of colours, allowing the room to be further customised. This variety allows you to create a unique bathroom that is in line with the rest of the facility.
Durability and Maintenance
In the hospitality industry, ruined bathrooms are a disaster, as they immediately give a negative impression to guests and can compromise the reputation of the entire establishment. Finding the balance between durability and aesthetics is essential. Materials such as brass and stainless steel are crucial in this context, as they offer resistance to corrosion and wear. Electronic faucets, which do not require contact for use, get less dirty than conventional faucets. This feature not only simplifies cleaning, but also helps maintain aesthetics and hygiene in bathrooms. Idral taps, designed specifically for public spaces with heavy use, offer high durability and resistance, ideal for hotels and resorts. These taps not only withstand daily wear and tear, but can also handle the high volume of use typical of hotel facilities.
Choosing the right taps and fittings for hotels is a crucial decision that affects several aspects: water and energy savings, guest experience, design and maintenance costs.
