Guests don’t always sleep at the same time.
Business travelers may sleep during the day. Travelers arriving from another time zone may need to rest at unusual hours. Night-shift workers may require a dark room during daylight.
That makes hotel window treatments more than a decorative feature.
Benefits of Quality Hotel Window Treatments
Better Room Appearance
Well-designed draperies can make a guestroom look finished and professionally designed.
Light Control
Blackout solutions can help reduce unwanted external light.
Privacy
Appropriate window treatments provide guests with greater privacy.
Energy Considerations
Depending on the product, window treatments may also contribute to managing heat and sunlight entering the room.
Choosing Hotel Curtains
Hotel operators should consider:
- Fabric
- Lining
- Blackout performance
- Track or hardware system
- Fire-performance requirements where applicable
- Cleaning requirements
- Durability
- Room design
- Installation
Don’t Treat Curtains as an Afterthought
A beautiful guestroom can still feel incomplete if the window treatment looks cheap, worn, or poorly installed.
During a renovation, window treatments should be specified alongside the rest of the guestroom design.
