Hotel dining chairs are very similar to restaurant dining chairs, of course, as hotels have their own ‘in-house’ restaurant. Let’s dive into what you need to know about specifying contract hotel dining chairs. Crafting the perfect dining experience in a hotel setting involves careful consideration of comfort, style, and practicality. Hotel dining chairs, like restaurant chairs, share common components but there are also some specific nuances that cater to the unique requirements of hotel furniture.
When you’re choosing hotel furniture you need to consider both its form and function, and that’s just as true of hotel dining chairs. Comfort is paramount. Guests will come to sit and eat for extended periods during their dining experience so ensuring they are comfortable is extremely important. After all, if you have to sit in an uncomfortable chair for a long time it will likely detract from your enjoyment of your meal. Consider furniture with an ergonomic design or well-padded upholstery to contribute to a pleasurable dining atmosphere.
Just like with restaurant chairs, the choice of frame material significantly impacts the chair's durability and style. Hotels are often high-traffic areas where guests come to use your services and relax. Because of this, your furniture will go through quite a lot of wear and tear. Wood, metal, and plastic are excellent and versatile options for your hotel, with wood often lending a classic elegance, metal providing a modern edge, and plastic being a lightweight and contemporary choice.
Upholstery is another crucial aspect, and fabrics must align with the hotel's design theme while being resistant to stains and wear. Leather, faux leather, and high-quality fabrics are popular choices. Patterns and colours should reflect the hotel's brand identity and overall aesthetic.
Dimensions play a critical role in ensuring guest comfort. Seat height, depth, and backrest angle should encourage a relaxed posture for lingering meals. Whether you choose armchairs or armless chairs, they should offer sufficient space around the table and allow ease of movement. Consider, as well, that armchairs may or may not fit under table tops. If they don’t then that is cutting into valuable floor space affecting the number of covers you can do and the flow around the dining room.
One thing that sometimes sets hotel dining chairs apart from restaurant chairs is the potential for more elaborate designs. Of course, you can opt for ornate patterns and elaborate designs in your restaurant also, but hotels often seek chairs that make a statement, coordinating with the overall interior design scheme. Intricate details such as tufting, decorative stitching, or custom embroidery can bring a sense of luxury and cohesion to the hotel spaces.
Similar to restaurant chairs, maintenance considerations are vital. Choosing materials that are easy to clean and maintain is essential for keeping up a pristine appearance over time. Additionally, stacking or non-stacking options can impact storage and flexibility. This is especially true if you use the restaurant as an event space for weddings and parties. The option to store furniture away efficiently is paramount.
