• Dining Areas: The minimum restaurant area should be 140 square meters.

Best Practices for Hotel Furniture Procurement

Selecting the right furniture is crucial for enhancing guest comfort and ensuring operational efficiency. Consider the following best practices:

• Construction and Craftsmanship: Pay attention to the craftsmanship and construction details that contribute to the furniture’s visual appeal and durability.

2. Prioritize Comfort and Functionality

• Ergonomics: Ensure that furniture supports proper posture and comfort, enhancing the overall guest experience.

• Space Optimization: Select pieces that maximize space utilization without compromising on comfort or style.

3. Ensure Compliance with Industry Standards

• Safety Regulations: Verify that all furniture meets local safety standards and regulations.

• Sustainability: Opt for eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes to promote sustainability.

4. Plan for Maintenance and Longevity

• Ease of Maintenance: Choose materials and designs that are easy to clean and maintain, reducing long-term operational costs.

• Durability: Invest in high-quality furniture that withstands the rigors of constant use, ensuring longevity and sustained aesthetic appeal.
