Every hotel, no matter how smart or how basic, has one thing in common - the dining room. Its dining room is used daily by a lot of people, and people of all ages and eating habits. So, good hotel dining furniture must be more than simply functional and good to look at. It must also be tough.
Let's look at the three or four key attributes of good hotel dining furniture - starting with its functionality, which is normally hidden from the eyes of the end user. While the end user just sees an attractive piece of furniture, the hotel manager sees a table that's easy to wipe clean, chairs with water-repellent fabric coverings and simple designs, which mean they're also easy to stack.
In terms of looks, the hotel dining furniture you choose depends on the overall theme and feel of your hotel. For example, if you are running an executive hotel in the heart of a city you don't really want to clutter it up with dark woods and large opulent tables - instead you want smart comfortable chairs and neat tables, with wood finishes in keeping with the airy and businesslike nature of your overall décor.
Conversely, if you are operating a large country house retreat, you don't really want the kind of hotel dining furniture you would expect to find in a city centre hotel whose major clientele is business people staying over between conferences.
Overall toughness is a must in all hotel situations. You should expect your it to have food and drink spilled on it daily; to be jumped on by uncontrollable children; to be banged into by busy waiting staff; and to be subject to the wearing action of a thousand pairs of elbows every day.
As such you need custom made furniture designed for this purpose rather than furniture designed for domestic use. Even if your hotel dining furniture is made to look like domestic furnishings, it has to have a hidden durability you simply wouldn't need from a domestic only item.
Finally, hotel dining furniture needs to be easy to order and easy to replace. To this end it's worth considering having your dining furniture supplied on a contract basis, where old and worn out items are replaced with new ones as you need them.
Remember too that you can order spares when you make a new order, so you always have extra chairs and table in storage for larger functions or emergency situations.
Sometimes you will want to order more than one type of hotel dining furniture - specifically if your establishment caters for different kinds of guest, like weddings and conferences both. Ordering and maintaining stock of both functional hotel dining furniture for conferences, and more elaborate furniture for wedding receptions, broadens your ability to answer the needs of your customers.
