The architectural appearance of the hotel has always been beautiful and harmonious in people's impression, but in fact, in the process of hotel development, there have been many past experiences, many concepts, and many misunderstandings.
In the 1930s and 1940s, a large number of "matchbox" style high-end buildings emerged in the United States, and then architects all over the world rushed to follow suit, so many "matchbox" style buildings were born. In the early 1980s, when China was in the early stage of reform and opening up, hotels in China became the earliest users of this architectural style. Until today, buildings of this shape are still in China Hotel building The mainstream of.
Since modern times, especially after World War II, with the recovery of the world economy, architects in Europe and the United States have begun to pursue new ideas of appearance. Design some thematic or pictographic ones Hotel building There are enterprise buildings, financial centers, etc., including luxury hotels. A large number of special-shaped buildings have appeared in the core of the city, such as sailboats, pyramid shaped hotels, etc., to pursue a romantic and luxurious life.
After entering the 21st century, the appearance of pictographic hotels also appeared in China. A large number of special-shaped structures and reinforced concrete can no longer meet the design requirements of designers, so steel tube buildings are born according to the situation. Nowadays, many hotels in the city are tube buildings, steel structures, and curtain walls. These buildings are designed with relatively high costs, large investments, slow returns, and are prone to losses. If the economy is developed, it is better to sell high housing prices, but once the city's carrying capacity is limited, high investment is a big problem for hotel operation and recovery.
After long-term practice, for hotel property, the cuboid building is the most suitable for hotel construction, that is, the so-called "matchbox" building. Whether it is civil engineering, or structural stress, or internal decoration, installation engineering, business management, it saves money and is easy to use. The middle corridor and rooms on both sides have good lighting, and the fire stairs, fire elevators and passenger elevators can be arranged evenly. While some new hotel appearances cater to the urban style and regional characteristics, they are not conducive to the layout and use of the hotel, resulting in functional deficiencies and waste in later management.
The most feared hotel appearance is round, oval, and diamond shaped. The appearance of this kind of hotel is very recognizable, but it also causes many problems for the hotel. It wastes a lot of space, and the rooms are deformed. There will be irregular tail rooms on each floor, which makes guests uncomfortable. In addition, in the construction and decoration, the cost of arc or profiled materials is also high, which increases the operating burden of the hotel.
The design and investment of hotel building structure is the most basic part of the hotel's viability. Many hotels do not grasp this link well, laying a hidden danger of loss for future operations. As a hotel operation, it is unreasonable not to be responsible for decoration, depreciation and capital use costs. However, as far as hotel management is concerned, it can only be passively accepted on this link. Whether rent or depreciation is a matter of fact, we can only do our best. Therefore, the management team has said "statement loss", which may also save some face for the problems left over in the previous period.
