Best Flooring for Hotels: Planning Your Post-Christmas Refurbishment

A busy festive period can highlight which parts of a hotel are ready for a refresh. Worn corridors, marked bedroom floors and tired reception areas may become priorities when planning the next refurbishment. 

If your booking calendar allows a quieter period after Christmas, it can provide an opportunity to tackle those improvements. Planning ahead gives you time to compare products, check availability and coordinate work with your installer. 

The best flooring for hotels depends on the area being refurbished. bedrooms , entrances and dining spaces each need a specification suited to their daily use. 

Start With The Areas That Need Attention 

Before choosing colours or finishes, review the existing flooring room by room. 

• Is wear concentrated along busy routes? 
• Are cleaning teams struggling with particular surfaces? 
• Does the flooring still suit the hotel’s appearance? 

Distinguish between flooring that needs maintenance and areas requiring replacement. Your installer can assess the existing floor and subfloor before you commit to a product or installation schedule. 

Prioritising individual areas can also help you plan expenditure and phase the project around bookings. 

What Is The Best Flooring for Hotel Rooms?

Comfort, appearance, acoustics and housekeeping requirements all influence the best flooring for hotel rooms. 

Commercial carpet tiles may suit bedrooms where a softer finish and acoustic comfort are priorities. Carpet tiles and LVT offer different finishes, with options worth comparing for your refurbishment.

Paragon Workspace Cut Pile: Comfort and Acoustic Benefits 

Paragon Workspace Cut Pile in Iron Grey combines a cut-pile finish with a neutral colour that can complement different bedroom furnishings.

The range has a heavy contact classification and offers impact sound reduction, making it worth considering where durability and acoustic comfort are priorities. Its modular format also allows individual damaged tiles to be replaced, so keeping matching spare stock can be useful. 

Polyflor Expona Commercial: A Decorative Wood-Effect Finish 

Polyflor Expona Commercial Endgrain Woodblock offers a timber-inspired appearance in glue-down luxury vinyl format. 

Designed for heavy-traffic applications, it provides an alternative for hotel interiors where a wood-effect finish is preferred. Its distinctive endgrain pattern adds visual detail, while the plank format gives scope to create a considered floor layout. 

Choosing Flooring for Corridors 

Hotel corridors need flooring that accommodates regular footfall, luggage and housekeeping equipment. When comparing hotel carpet tiles, consider the commercial specification alongside pattern, colour and maintenance requirements. 

Paragon Diversity Groove: Flexible Pattern and Layout 

Paragon Diversity Groove in Vibe combines two colours in a gradual linear pattern, bringing visual interest to longer corridors. The range allows different laying arrangements and can be paired with plain Diversity tiles to create borders, transitions or wayfinding details. 

Paragon Inspiration Phase: Texture and Visual Detail 

Paragon Inspiration Phase in Virtual Ebony offers a textured, patterned alternative to a plain floor. Its nature-inspired design can help create a more distinctive interior, while the modular tile format allows individual sections to be replaced if damaged. Retaining matching spare tiles is useful for future repairs if required. 

Hotel Lobby and Reception Flooring 

Hotel lobby flooring needs to create a welcoming first impression while handling daily arrivals, luggage and cleaning. When choosing hotel reception flooring, consider main entrance matting, moisture brought in from outside and the specification required for each area. 

Polyflor Epona Control: Stone Effect with Slip Resistance

Designed specifically for very heavy commercial environments where water may be trafficked in or spilled, it is an option to discuss for reception areas where appearance and slip resistance both influence the specification.
