Elevating Safety and Comfort: Hospitality Design for the Post-COVID Era
The pandemic brought sweeping changes to the hospitality industry, ushering in a new era where health, hygiene and guest comfort take center stage. As we navigate this new landscape, hotels and resorts face the challenge of adapting interiors to evolving needs while preserving a welcoming ambiance.
Balancing Health Priorities with Elevated Aesthetics
In today's climate, stringent safety standards are non-negotiable for hospitality spaces. But this emphasis doesn't mean compromising on style and atmosphere. Emberr seamlessly integrates health-focused elements with beautiful design:
Antimicrobial, visually-appealing materials like copper surfaces
Innovative air purification disguised by decorative screening
Spacious layouts enabling social distancing without disrupting flow
Our spaces keep guests safe while delighting the senses.
Flexibility That Can Pivot with the Times
With changing pandemic protocols and guest preferences, spaces need to be highly adaptable. Emberr specializes in designing multi-use areas that can flex as needed:
Poolside cabanas transforming to private al fresco dining
Lobbies converting to coworking spaces with desk partitions
Ballrooms reconfiguring for distanced weddings and events
We leverage movable walls, multipurpose furniture, and modular design so your spaces can evolve.
Integrating Wellness Through Biophilic Design
People's relationship to the outdoors shifted during the pandemic, with nature becoming a retreat and source of wellness. Biophilic design brings the calming presence of nature inside. Emberr incorporates:
Living green walls and verdant plant installations
Water features and natural materials like stone and wood
Enhanced ventilation and maximal natural lighting
These elements boost air quality and create tranquil guest sanctuaries.
Smart, Contactless Convenience
Today's travelers prefer a hospitality experience with minimal shared touch points. We integrate smart tech like:
Mobile keys and contactless check-in/out
Voice controls for lighting, TV, room ambience
Integrated room tablets for service requests
Automated cleaning protocols with UV sanitation
High-tech doesn't mean sacrificing high-touch - these systems provide both safety and luxurious convenience.
Authenticity Through Localized Design
People are craving travel that fosters connection to local history and culture. Emberr's designers craft a true sense of place by:
Incorporating regional art, textiles, materials
Highlighting architectural traditions
Partnering with local artisans and craftspeople
Customizing based on destination environment
Your hotel or resort celebrates its setting through design, for an immersive and distinctive guest journey.
