Remember that a guest may be arriving to your location with little or no previous knowledge of your property, so the lobby is the predominant first contact point.

In this article, I cover the Top 10 Lobby Design Mistakes and How To Avoid Them. Knowing and addressing these ten key issues will assist hotel owners, operators and developers as well as the allied team members avoid expensive mistakes, potential lawsuits and garner higher guest satisfaction from social media because you’ve paid attention.
