THE INSIDE STORY

'Catering to its guests' has always been a prime focus of hotel designs. With the emerging 2023 design trends in hospitality, hotels are not just designed to accommodate travellers and provide them meals that fill their hearts up but have also undergone operational changes, technology transformations, flexibility in planning and post COVID distancing services.
Rohit Singh, Chief Engineer, Hyatt Ahmedabad, says, "As the hospitality industry grows tremendously every day, we must become more concerned about environmental issues. From using STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) recycled water in horticulture and chiller cooling towers to minimize water consumption; heavy pumps controlled by VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to reduce energy consumption; and hydro-pneumatic system (intended to distribute water at a consistent pressure to all outlets on all floors) to regulate both the consumption of water and power, we used every strategy at our disposal to reduce unnecessary waste and save energy."
SUSTAINABILITY REIGNS
The recent trends in design are in favour of the construction of hotels with a classic historical touch and modern services along with sustainability features.
Jeril Varghese, Chief Engineer, ITC Mughal, A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Agra, expresses, "Designs have evolved to consider sustainable sites, eco-sensitive architecture, VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) free paints, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood, optimizing water and energy efficiencies, managing indoor air quality, harnessing maximum renewable energy, recycling water, treating solid waste, and sourcing consumables locally in the journey for a brighter tomorrow."
