The Ultimate Guide to Hotel Lighting Projects

Now that you are aware of the consequences of bad lighting in a hotel project, (if you missed that, you can see it here), it's time to discover which functions lighting assumes in it:

In a hotel project, lighting takes on different functions that must correspond to the needs of the area in question:

• Functional: Ensures visibility and safety in operational areas, such as corridors and passageways, with clear and efficient lighting.
• Decorative: Enhance the project's design, and look for a luminaire that fits the space's concept.
• Ambient: Aligns the atmosphere with the space's purpose to create a more comfortable environment.
• Accent: Highlights specific elements, directing visitors' attention to focal points.

What about the color temperature for each area of a hotel project?

Lighting design shapes spaces, highlights focal points and creates a welcoming atmosphere - but only with the right color temperature.

• Warm Color: Used to create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for bars, restaurants, bedrooms and reception areas (moderately).
• Neutral Color: Similar to natural light, it should be used to illuminate busy areas such as lobbies. It should allow for smooth circulation while keeping guests comfortable.
• Cool Color: This one should ensure guest safety in poorly lit areas such as stairwells, car parks, corridors, and even signage.

It should be emphasized that warm or cool color temperatures must be used at the correct level and never at extremes, to achieve a balanced space.

How does that reflect in a hotel project?

In this B&B Hotel project, we can see that lighting has become a central element, molding the visitor's experience and contributing significantly to the cozy atmosphere of the space.

With a neutral color temperature of 4000K, this color temperature in addition to the design of the piece turned out to be the most suitable due to the duality of functions the space has.
