Smooth lighting around the bathroom mirrors is crucial for making sure you are ready to turn the lobby into a catwalk (or a hide yourself in the back of the lobby bar).
Low light levels will create contrast and promote ambience. Ensure task areas within rooms are well lit but circulation and corridors are how everyone wants their circulation and corridors - the right vibe - perfect for when you’re walking awkwardly past fellow guests.
Controlling beam angles makes sure the desired mood is set and illumination is restricted to things you actually want to highlight.
Warmer tones such as 2700k will promote a luxurious mood and turn raiding the mini bar for the remaining 50ml bottle of vodka into a night at Dandelyan. How you re-stock the mini bar is up to you.
Ensure adequate lighting around full length dressing mirrors so when you hit the town you are full of confidence, no matter what.
Put careful consideration into the switching and control of lights. Being able to set various scenes and to control all lights from the bedside will make jumping up and down on the beds when you first get to the room even better.
Guests want to be looking (and usually only looking) at the room service menu, not the light source. Fully recessed luminaires are paramount for this.
Be sure to allow for a low level night light. It will make sure when you wake for a 3am bathroom break you don’t end up putting on a nudie hallway show for other guests.
