Hotels

Smart hotels using new technologies to cater to guests are becoming expected and even demanded by travelers. It is getting increasingly important for hotels to have a sustainable profile.

When it comes to the construction of these next-generation hotels, an important revolution is taking place in the building process itself. Using a prefabricated wooden frame ensures a sturdy yet light structure that works well for large, multi-storey, structures – and is easy on the environment.

A beautiful wooden frame is also suitable to leave exposed in the interior. The wood leaves a rustic, raw quality to the interior and gives a warm feeling to the whole building. For urban hotels, these aesthetic qualities create a welcoming atmosphere that soothes a stressed traveler. For hotels situated in the nature, the wooden structure is a way to interact, or blend in, with its surroundings. Adding wood in the façade or flooring, enhances the warm, embracing features of the hotel and gives the notion – desirable in the hotel business – of coming home.
