Why flooring matters in hotels

Flooring in hotels isn’t just about looks it directly impacts guest experience, maintenance costs, and compliance. A lobby floor that wows guests, guest room flooring that feels comfortable and quiet, or slip-resistant bathroom flooring can all influence how your hotel is perceived.

With Australian standards for fire safety, slip resistance, and sustainability becoming more important in hospitality projects, choosing the right flooring for each hotel area is essential.

Considerations for hotel flooring

  • Acoustic performance – noise reduction between rooms and hallways is critical for guest comfort. Want to learn more about Acoustic flooring ratings? Read our blog: Understanding acoustic floor ratings.

  • Durability & maintenance – high-traffic areas like lobbies, corridors, and restaurants demand flooring that stands up to wear and frequent cleaning.

  • Design & atmosphere – flooring sets the tone for your brand, from luxurious marble-look lvt in the lobby to calming natural tones in guest rooms.

  • Slip resistance & safety – bathrooms, kitchens, and pool areas must meet Australian slip resistance standards (AS 4586).

  • Sustainability – increasingly, hotels are prioritising eco-friendly flooring like Forbo’s marmoleum, made from natural renewable materials.
