Hotel Design & Space Planning Guide

The document discusses programming for hotel facilities and space requirements. Programming is a pre-design document that explains the space and operational needs of a hotel through lists of facilities, area requirements, and descriptions of operations. It aims to translate the designer's ideas into the objectives and characteristics of the project. The summary provides an example goal of an 800-room, high-rise convention hotel with 50,000 square feet of meeting space. It lists some example facilities and notes that requirements can vary based on hotel type, standards, rating, location, and market. It outlines moving from high-level goals to a more detailed facility program and selection criteria.

TOPIC 2: PROGRAMMING HOTEL FACILITIES AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS


HOTEL PLANNING & DESIGN (HOS60303)
What is Programming
It is a pre-design document that explains the space and operational
needs of a hotel with lists of Facilities, area requirement, and
qualitative descriptions of operational requirements and constraints.

It aims to translate the ideas of the designer to the


objectives and characteristics of the project.
Step ONE: Defining Goals and Objectives
E.g.

The hotel will be a first-class, full-service, high-rise, convention


hotel with 800 rooms and 50,000 sq ft (4,640 sq m) of meeting
space. Located in a growing retail and entertainment district
near the proposed new convention center, the project should
accommodate, besides convention attendees, both the
individual business traveler and weekend “vacationer.” Facilities
should include two restaurants, two lounges, a spa/health club,
business center, ground-level retail, and parking for 600 cars.
Facilities programme can vary by…
Type of Hotel
Hotel Company Standards
Star Rating of Hotel
Operational Requirement
Location of the Hotel
Market Orientation

… and many, many more. Can you think of any?


In short - the Programme Summary
 Guestrooms  Food and beverage outlets
 Number of room “keys” (separate rental units)  Capacity of each restaurant
 Number of room bays (total equivalent room  Capacity of each lounge
modules)  Quality level and theme for each
 Number and description of suites  Function space
 Typical room and suite dimensions  Dimensions of the ballroom (including ceiling
 Lobby and public areas height)
 Architectural image and ambience  Amount of other meeting and banquet space
 Amount of retail space  Need for exhibition space
 Recreation facilities  Technical requirements
 Quality level of health club/spa  Special building systems and guest amenities
 Outline of any additional facilities
 Parking requirements
How do we get from HERE … to HERE?
The hotel will be a first-class, full-service, high-
rise, convention hotel with 800 rooms and
50,000 sq ft (4,640 sq m) of meeting space.
Located in a growing retail and entertainment
district near the proposed new convention
