Does it depend on their past experiences, their taste, a brand being embedded in them? With all the influential factors that could possibly exist I feel as though room decor is just another among many variables. Some people may not be into the stereotypical bed and breakfast decor. Kittens and flowers are not everyone's forte, but establishments are beginning to recognize this and are moving towards drastic, modern looks. However, you see the same delima with choosing a decor in restaurants. People will not become patrons of a place in which they don't feel comfortable. Chipotle has wonderful initiatives to become "Green" and all-natural (like the prospering trend), but many people hate the industrial decor so they won't stay and dine at the facilities.<br />Therefore I see hotels falling into the same predicament. How do you decorate and design your hotel so that it applies to all of your target markets? A cutting-edge business has different styles that appeal to them than a family does. Can the style and decor of a room be part of the selection? Or should your whole hotel follow one theme? Something to consider....<br /><br />Amber Lingenfelter<br />Hotel OperationsAmber Lingenfelterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425228209733654329noreply@blogger.com
