Hospitality & Tourism
Hotels, resorts and leisure destinations — bedroom repetition above, banquet complexity below.
A hotel is two buildings stacked on top of each other. Above the lobby line it is a repetitive bedroom block where one good room detail is repeated four hundred times — the structure, envelope and services are the familiar shared methods, linked below. Below the lobby line it is a different world: kitchens, ballrooms, pools, spas and back-of-house where every trade meets in one congested floor plate and the MEP density rivals a hospital.
Finishes quality is the whole product — a guest never sees the frame but touches every surface it carries — and handover is measured in room keys per week, not floors. The four guides in this sector cover the hotel structure and envelope, bedroom fit-out, back-of-house, and the public areas and leisure facilities, while the generic stages upstream link through to their canonical guides.
What does Hospitality & Tourism cover?
Process guides in Hospitality & Tourism
- Hotel Structure & Envelope — Repetitive bedroom floors on a fixed room grid — concrete or steel frames, bathroom and room pods, a façade that repeats one window at a time, and the plant floors and back-of-house cores that make a hotel run.
- Hotel Bedroom Fit-Out & FF&E — The room production line — pods connected, rooms fitted to a signed-off mock-up, FF&E installed floor by floor, and every floor snagged and handed to the operator before the next one finishes.
- Hotel Back-of-House & Specialist Services — The engine room the guest never sees — commercial kitchens, laundries, goods lifts, plant rooms, grease management and the acoustic separation that keeps three hundred rooms asleep above it all.
- Hotel Public Areas & Leisure Facilities — Lobbies, ballrooms, restaurants and pools — the high-finish, high-scrutiny spaces: feature elements hung from structure, finishes to millimetre tolerances, and pool tanks, water treatment and humidity control that either work forever or fail expensively.
