Music In Hotels
CREATING AN AUTHENTIC GUEST EXPERIENCE
CHOOSING A SOUNDTRACK
There are many factors to consider when deciding on the soundtrack for a hotel. There’s the style of the hotel; modern or retro? Is the design subdued or stand-out? The location; are you beachside or hip European city? Who are your customer base, and how can music help enhance their stay?
ENGAGING YOUR GUESTS
Guests often stay at hotels for a number of days so having the right music playing is hugely important. Many hotels attract a varied demographic, so how do you play music and create an ambience that appeals to everybody? Music has become an increasingly important part of a hotel’s business strategy, with traditional global hotel chains using music to create an immediate impression, stay interesting and to attract a younger demographic.
SIGNATURE SOUND
Within the hotel, there are the different zones to consider; the lobby, lounge bars and restaurants, poolside, gym, spa and meeting and conference rooms. The music should flow, and make sense, within each area and when moving around the hotel. Different times of the day require different tempos and volume, early breakfast to afternoon tea, aperitif hour too late night cocktails – the music playing within these separate zones need to complement each other, whilst enhancing the specific area’s environment.
At 8track Music, we work with many hotel types, from global brands to boutique hotels, across the world. There is no one-size fits all solution, which is why we always work closely with each hotel client, assessing what they want to achieve, before creating unique music libraries
Tops Tips For HOTELS
Think about the overall direction and effect of your playlists – we all love music and have our own personal taste, but a great playlist is about what makes the whole hotel experience works, seamlessly.
Consider the different areas of the hotel, and what you’re trying to achieve in each space; to create comfort and calm or to build energy and vibrancy.
