Luxury Hotel Trends For 2022

What to look for in hotels and the whole hospitality industry this year?

When we think of luxury hospitality, different things come to mind. We might picture ourselves inside a luxury hotel room, enjoying every second of the superb experience.

In the bathroom (or bathrooms), towels and bathmats are really plush and bring comfort to the next level. Hanging on the back of the bathroom door is one soft robe for each guest. Over at the sink counter, a nice basket full of not-so-small bottles of lush greatly scented toiletries.

Your king-size bed will probably provide you with an extra refreshing night of sleep. The mattress has unique softness–as do many other surfaces, including the bedroom carpet.

The hotel aesthetic is gorgeous, high-end, and classy. A true luxury hotel will be upscale without being stuffy. They truly know how to make guests feel comfortable regardless of whether they are used to staying at luxury hotels or not.

These are, overall, features we would expect when we book a room at an upscale hotel or resort. In 2022, hotels are innovatively thinking of new ways to stand out and really provide an unforgettable experience for their guests.

#1 Workspaces at Hotels

Needless to say, working outside of regular offices is a change that came to stay. The covid-19 pandemic has forced companies to figure out ways for their employees to keep up with their work.

This new way to think about work has been shaping a myriad of trends throughout the globe, and the hospitality industry would be no exception. Hotels are now working to accommodate the needs of guests that might travel while working.

For more than a decade, the term “bleisure” (business+leisure) has already been used to refer to a business trip that is extended into a recreational time. However, with the unquestionable boom of remote work, this type of travel might get to new levels.

These days, the separation between your workday and your time for leisure might be just a matter of closing your laptop. If you are working remotely, there is a chance you end your day comfortably sitting on a soft padded pool chair at any hotel in the world.

Some hotels offer a shared workspace, just like a coworking facility does. That means you get to work in a larger space, maybe close to some of the other hotel facilities. In this format, you will also probably be able to enjoy the hotel’s architecture while at work.

Other hotels will provide a workspace inside your suite. That is the case with The Venetian Resort Las Vegas where you can work from your own space. In that sense, when business matters need your attention, you may use the dedicated work desk inside your room. 

#2 Focus on Well-Being

Well-being can mean many different things depending on your context. When we think of the hospitality industry, usually it’s about a number of things. Those can turn your hotel stay into a time to rejuvenate and really refresh.

Many hotels offer spa services with massage and cosmetic treatments. They may also have fitness programs including gym facilities and classes. These days, wellness programs often also include a choice of good and nourishing food so that you will feel good from the inside out.

Apart from what is offered as amenities at a spa, hotel rooms may feature details focused on wellness. Room colors and décor can make it look cozier and more like home.

Aria Las Vegas has some of the most luxurious suites in Las Vegas. They include features that are meant to elevate the experience of guests in an innovative way.

In some of their suites, you get vitamin C for your skin while you shower. They do it by attaching a small container of vitamin C to the showerhead. Water will carry the cosmetic product as it flows through the piping.

Another interesting feature in Aria suites is air purification. It is said to bring a fresh feeling after a great night of sleep in the room.

#3 Hotels Go Digital

Digitalized experiences are becoming the norm for basically everything that we do. Our electronic devices are basically an extension of ourselves and, for most people, it feels weird to leave the house without them.

In that sense, hotels have developed digital systems that enable guests to have digital resources to complement and control their experiences. As it turns out, devices and apps are an essential part of the customer journey.

At Aria Las Vegas, the rooms are designed on automation. Guests are given an iPad that works like a command center for their stay at the hotel. From there, you will be able to get things done and make choice without having to leave your room or even talking to a hotel employee.

Here are things that you might be able to do from a device during your stay at a modern hotel:

• Setting alarms: along with the classic “beep”, you can set alarms that will turn on a specific music playlist, or get the system to open the curtains for you.
• Entering and exiting the room: you can command your room to turn devices and appliances on and off as you enter or leave your suite.
• Room service: you can set your preferences and ask for room service using a device. That is possibly a great way to avoid misunderstandings and lead to a more personalized experience.
• Dining: hotels offer to book a table and check the whole menu of their restaurants online. That way, you can easily set your expectations according to the offer and increase the chance of a successful evening.

Ensure your experience is seamless not just because of the great amenities of your hotel. When you book chauffeured transportation, a team of experts will be ready to assist you every step of the way. At Vegas VIP Limousine you can make all of your transportation arrangements online and we are available 24 hours a day.
