In the hospitality industry, the reception is the building's heart. It's where the first impression is formed — an impression that can't be made twice. In 2026, we are shifting from a 'checkpoint' function to a 'Lobby Lounge' format. We examine equipment standards for hotels, inns, and sanatoriums: from administrator ergonomics to the psychological comfort of the traveler.
The Hotel Desk: Length Matters
For hotels with large room counts, we recommend desks from 3 to 6 meters long. This allows for serving 3-4 guest groups simultaneously without queues. In 2026, an 'open' design became the standard: the absence of a high barrier between guest and staff. This creates the trust and friendliness characteristic of premium boutique hotels. Natural stone countertops (marble, quartzite) emphasize status and guarantee durability under round-the-clock load.
Sanatorium Specifics: Care and Medicine
Quiet and Health
In sanatoriums, the reception is often combined with a medical post. Here, utilizing antibacterial materials (man-made stone, copper) and providing spots for elderly people to wait calmly is vital. Integrating staff call systems and contactless thermometers into the desk body is the 2026 safety standard. We design such desks with lowered sections, ensuring 'Inclusive Design' for guests of venerable age.
