Hospitality Design
Interior and spatial design for hotels, hostels, bars, restaurants, and other places where guests stay, eat, and gather.
Hospitality design shapes how guests move through, rest in, and remember a building that serves people temporarily. Designers in this field balance atmosphere, circulation, brand identity, and the practical demands of hosting large numbers of visitors each day. Projects range from urban boutique hotels and rural retreats to bars, retail hybrids, and experimental dining rooms.
Community work under this topic includes case studies of hotels and hostels that draw on local memory and playful concepts, as well as bar and lounge interiors that test spatial experimentation. Members also explore mixed-use programs where hospitality overlaps with retail and urban public life.
