Andrew Loader Design, Hotel Design Doctor
As a seasoned interior designer with over 40 years of practical experience in the hospitality industry, I am excited to introduce my Hotel Design Doctor consultancy service to help boutique hotel, guest house, gite and chambre d’hote businesses thrive. With a proven track record in designing spaces that people love, I am confident that my expertise can bring significant value to your business.
I firmly believe that professional and considered design and attention to detail translates to occupancy growth, improved yield returns, repeat visitation and word of mouth referrals.
With a strong reputation in interior design in both Australia and France as well as extensive global experience in hospitality sales, marketing and operations, I have developed a unique understanding of what drives success in the hospitality sector. My experience has given me a keen insight into the importance of creating spaces that attract and retain customers and enhance their experience.
In the vacation or short stay accommodation business, details carefully considered and executed can evoke wonder, delight and long lasting memories for paying guests. And at the same time, help to command a higher rate of financial return for a business owner in respect of daily rate positioning along with an improved repeat business ratio and positive word of mouth referrals.
I like to think of hotel interior design details across three streams:
- The hardware details: such as considered spatial planning, well designed joinery, thoughtful lighting and electrical planning, gentle and restful colour schemes, attractive and functional fixtures and fittings and feature materials that are authentic and help to tell a story about the building.
- The software details: including appealing, comfortable and properly scaled furnishings, area floor rugs, artworks reflecting the local environment, quality window treatments, bed linens, kitchenware, appliances and tableware.
- The layering details: incorporating elements like decorative accessories, creatively and sensitively arranged fresh flowers, localised bathroom amenities, the welcome tray, books and magazines and the host’s welcome gift.
I often feel that many of these details are overlooked in accommodation offerings and yet they are so important to the overall guest experience and a potential customer’s pre-reservation perception. These details are absolutely key to the sense of guest arrival and done well will create a powerful and lasting impression.
Even before potential guests have made a reservation, a well photographed space can help to communicate the essence of the offering, evoke a desire for it and help to create a beautiful portfolio of imagery for the property that people will be attracted to and want to book.
As part of my Hotel Design Doctor consultancy, I conduct a comprehensive onsite assessment of your property, including interviews with key staff and management. This enables me to identify areas of improvement and provide actionable recommendations for short, medium, and long-term enhancements.
Specifically, my consultancy service includes:
- A two – three day site familiarisation and assessment.
- Interviews with key staff and management.
- A detailed report and playback outlining recommendations for improvements to enhance guest experience that transpose to increased revenue and optimise your property’s potential.
- A detailed design brief outlining specific interior design improvements, providing a clear direction for future development.
Hotel Design Doctor consultancy will provide valuable insights and advice to:
- Enhance your hotel’s aesthetic appeal and guest experience.
- Increase revenue and occupancy rates.
- Stay ahead of the competition with informed design decisions.
- The cost for this service is based on scope, and location and is a sound investment considering the potential returns and long-term benefits for your business.
