restaurants and extensive leisure facilities.

The hotel is a six storey building a four

storey bedroom block over a two storey

plinth containing all public function areas.

There are three bedroom wings, which are

arranged in a pin-wheel configuration of

finger blocks coming off the central atrium

and stair/lift core. All circulation to and

from bedrooms travels through the atrium

with its panoramic views over the Meath

countryside.

Some hotels have become destinations in

their own right theyre the icons of hoteldesign and are one-off experiences. Once

youve experienced it and ticked the box,

you wont necessarily return.

However, the vast majority of hotels rely on

repeat business. Todays guest will choose

a hotel almost entirely on the basis of the

experience it offers and the way the hotel

reflects the guests lifestyle. So its critical

that your designers get it right.

But how do you define that experience?How do you know what your guest wants?

We all know the guests basic needs

comfort, reliability, good service. Most

hotels should at least offer all that. But in

an increasingly diversified marketplace

driven by what we term the experience

economy, people travel further and in

search of more. Adventure, tranquillity,

family-friendly places, business oriented

environments, design-led or culturally

responsive - guest profiles and demands

vary dramatically. As designers, where do

we start?

At HKR we dont design places to suit

everyone places which are mass

customisable can also be bland. We

interrogate the brief and work very hard

at understanding the guest profile and the

market. Then we work closely with the

design and project teams and creatively

tailor the design to deliver the right product

one that is

innovative

experience driven

appropriate for its context

At HKR we believe, from a guests

perspective, these are areas where design

can make a real difference.
