Hospitality
When guests are paying for a service, it is important to create the best atmosphere for them possible! Part of this experience is ensuring the acoustics of their surroundings are comfortable and calm. Acoustic absorbing products are effective in restaurants and cafes where background noise and chatter can become overpowering. Solutions such as hanging baffles and rafts, wall panels and acoustic seating helps to minimise this reverberation and ensure guests can hear one another. Acoustic insulating solutions are perfect for establishments such as hotels where guests want a peaceful experience, avoiding noise from adjoining rooms!

Creating the perfect hospitality soundscape
Hospitality environments are incredibly sensitive to sensory experiences. Taste is a vital part of bars and restaurants, comfort and touch is highly regarded in hotels and appearance covers nearly every hospitality building. In most of these areas, sound often gets overlooked.
In fact, acoustics can influence customer experience in nearly every hospitality setting. In some cases, they can impact the number of sales, with noisy areas causing customers to turn away at the door.
It’s important to note that creating a comfortable environment with high performing acoustics can impact not only customers, but also staff. Thriving businesses that take audio comfort into account are likely to see a range of benefits to everyone in their venue.
Key factors to consider to improve acoustics in hospitality
In order to create the perfect ambience in your building, you need to incorporate acoustics into your commercial design.
- Background noise such as music can often be heard in hospitality spaces to cover up silence. Whilst there are many benefits of this, buildings without acoustic control may find these sounds become uncomfortable, with reverberations returning into the room to increase noise levels.
- Privacy is sometimes required in bars and restaurants so that visitors can socialise without being heard. For example, businesses holding client meetings over dinner or friends catching up would benefit from acoustic solutions that absorb sounds to prevent conversations being carried across an establishment.
- Speech unintelligibility can be stressful for customers who may be frustrated when they are unable to hear their party. Not only this, but staff are less likely to concentrate with noise distracting them from tasks. In serious cases, these high stress levels can lead to health risks, including increased heart rates, headaches and can also influence mental health. Staff are also prone to make more frequent mistakes when reverberations and other unwelcome noises obstruct them from hearing a customer correctly.
- Acoustic ambience contributes a lot to hospitality. In a place where comfort is key, commercial interiors tend to include softer materials that provide sound absorbing qualities to combat noise pollution. However, due to minimalist trends, more and more designs take on an industrial appearance, swapping these absorbing fabrics for harder surfaces and exposed infrastructure that reflect sound back into a room, reducing speech clarity and making for an unwelcoming setting.
