5 STAR HOTEL

-Ar A.JAGAN
ARRANGEMEMT OF HOTEL

Hotels provide a service to their customers


whose requirements are:
• Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms
• Good food
• Good service, and
• Value for money

Four distinct types of areas are involved:


guest rooms, public areas, administration
offices and ‘back-of-house’ facilities.
Relationships between these areas must be
planned to provide separation of customer
and back-of-house areas but also allow
efficient service without cross-circulation or
distraction
CIRCULATION SPACES

Corridors, lobbies, etc. are the backbone of the Hotel circulation. Not only do the
guests depend on them for transportation, the service personnel also depend on
them for efficient service delivery.

Crucial part of circulation space design is its integration with the service lines,
i.e. various shafts for electrical and mechanical services, and fire escape staircases,
etc.

PARKING: VALET OR SELF-PARK


In valet parking, the user does not have to go to the on-site parking or basement
level car park to park his car; a valet does that for guest, whereas, if the user has
to park a car himself then there has to be a separate lift for the guests to travel to
the guest lobby. The circulation in the basement car park could be more efficient
and swift.

LUGGAGE HANDLING: BY GUEST OR BELLMAN


In case of luggage handling, the decision is generally dependent on the scale of
the hotel. In 4 Star and above hotels, bellboys are necessary to carry the
luggage of the guests.
FRONT DESK PROCEDURES: COMPUTERS, ROOM STATUS
These are a few questions which don’t necessarily affect the spatial design of the
lobby but surely affect the furniture design and the related buffer space to be
allotted for guests and staff movement.

GUESTROOM FOOD SERVICE: CART OR TRAY


Guestroom food services are one of the most important factors to be considered
while designing the service core of a hotel. As a thumb rule, 2.5 minutes is
considered the optimum time for food to reach from the central kitchen to the
guest room.
RESTAURANT SERVICE:
HOURS, TYPE OF SERVICE,
OUTDOOR
Restaurants are a major part
of the hotel’s income from
non-residential guests.
HRACC guidelines demand
that every 5-Star hotel has a
24- Hour Coffee shop and an
All Day Dining facility for the
guests.
Coffee shop is to be placed or just adjacent to the guest lift lobby so that the
guests could be provided with an informal meeting space.

All - day dining should also be provided in maximum proximity to the main lobby, as it
would be dedicated to the nonresidential customers coming in every hour of the day.

RECREATION: HOURS, CHILDREN, SAFETY


Recreation facilities are some of the major selling points of any hotel. Recreation
facilities include Discotheques, children’s playing areas, casinos, etc.
The placement and design of these areas are very crucial as they are totally public in
nature and require much more physical monitoring and security facilities. The
ancillary services to these spaces have to be designed very carefully.

recording, unpacking or packing.

• The volume of business
• Delivery frequency
• The length of storage
•The type of storage (frozen, refrigerated or dry)

and pastry. The area for vegetable preparation should be near the delivery door.

are for:
• Meat preparation
• Vegetable preparation
• Fish preparation
• Pastry/dessert preparation
WORK SPACE DIMENSIONS
It is recommended that provision be made for the following:
Clearances
Up to 1200 mm clearance in front of storage areas with a sliding door
1200 mm x 1200 mm clearance in front of other rooms with swinging or folding
doors (e.g. dining room/server doors)
Cupboards and shelves
Sliding shelves under the kitchen counter and built-in oven
Insulate or build an enclosure around the pipes under the sink to avoid risk of burns
while allowing for proper clearances
