star hotel interior design

With around 20 years’development，the hotel design in China has become

mature and rationalized．As for hotel planning, the hotel functions，cultures，

architectural environment and the operational objects have been integrated perfectly

as a whole to form a sustainable development strategy with unique features and

competitive advantages．A trend of globalization is to share both materials and

cultures，therefore，we ought向take great efforts to protect the heritage of human

culture and traditional flavor of inhabitation environment，treat foreign cultures and

arts properly and calve out a new way of modern hotel interior design with OUr own

national and regional cultures featuring our vigor, originality and prospects．At present,

with the rapid development of design concepts, there still exist some problems that are

worthy of our attention in the design of star-ranked hotels in China．

1．Repetitive design with neither features nor originality．A lot of star-ranked hotels

in many cities in China ate surprisingly similar from their hotel designs，

construction designs，and functional layouts to the interior styles，methods applied，

materials and even the modes of the guest rooms．Such a tedious design induces

slump operation and lacks in competitive capacity and thus causes considerable

loss for the country and investors．As for the reasons, in some cases it is due to the

fact that the construction and design companies are lack of experience，such as

unreasonable organization of streamline transportation and the imbalance between

the front stage and the backstage，whereas in other cases it is due to the

irresponsible“borrow—ism”of interior designers．

2．It is common in many domestic hotel designs that in the process of hotel interior

design，emphasis is given to fitment rather than decoration，which results in too

much“hard’’fitment, making“soft”decoration like lamps，furniture，artistic

display and．SO on appear to be too pale and weak．

3．The attention paid to guest room design is still inadequate．In fact，guests spend

most of their time in the room；however，for the guests with improving living

standard and taste，most of domestic hotels are short of their individuality from the

functions，areas，room types to the furniture modes，cloth skill decorations，the

carpet colors even to the wardrobes and the cocktail cabinets．

4．The domestic hotel designers still need more time to develop．Foreign famous

design companies have monopolized the design for the largest and the top hotels

in China．These world—known masters and many designers returned overseas have

advanced design concepts，methods and technologies，but they have a poor

understanding of Chinese national culture．Therefore，the rapidly growing hotel

designers at home are the mainstream of designers．

Based on the above analysis for various problems existed in domestic hotel interior

design，under new conditions，we shall carry out a detailed research and analysis

towards the interior design of hotels，especially star-ranked hotels in order to pave the

way for further design innovation．From the aspect of the 8 principles of systematic

design，namely being integrated，being open，self-organization，being dynamic，

stratification, with purpose，disassembly coordination and similarity, the paper makes

a summary and analysis for the interior design system of star-ranked hotels and thus

to get the corresponding design methodology so as to guide the design and planning

of star-ranked hotels．The paper offers a complete illustration from the four aspects of

systematic design principles for star-ranked hotels，hotel public space systematic

design, star-ranked hotel guest loom and suite systematic design and star-ranked hotel

special systematic design，with the hope that the theoretical discussion for star-ranked

hotel design presented here could be somewhat helpful for the practice of star-ranked

hotel design．
