The lobby says a lot about an establishment, especially the tone and ambiance it aims to set to make the best possible first impression
They say, “first impressions last” and this could not be more true than when speaking about hotel lobbies. As one sets foot through the front entrance, the architecture and interior of the lobby immediately indicate the core values and ethos of the establishment. Read on as we explore the finer details that make an entrance note-worthy and have guests coming back to recapture the admiration and awe they experienced on their first visit.
Here are eight lobbies that welcome its guests with sophistication and allure:
The Peninsula
The Peninsula Manila is fawned over for its exquisite and expansive lobby. The world-renowned hotel has a palatial charm to it with its marbled floors, grand ceiling and four-storey atrium. While taking in the beauty of this historic hotel, a peaceful melody by the orchestra plays, magnifying its serenity. The Sunburst sculpture by Napoleon Abueva commands attention with its stunningly intricate detailing in bronze-copper and steel. Leading from both sides of the front desks are the neoclassical stairs that lead to the mezzanine where one can admire the gorgeous panoramic view of the entire lobby. From the palm trees to the warm lighting, it's no wonder why "the Pen Lobby" is a favourite for meetings, celebrations and high tea.
