Chairs used in hotel or resort bedrooms are generally better treated than those found in a bar or restaurant, which are regularly subject to abuse like spills and stains. I’m sure those happen in hotel bedrooms too, but most probably on a much lesser scale. That’s why chairs and tables in a hotel room are generally much more luxurious; there’s a smaller chance of damage due to guest use. Plus, it’s just nice to lounge or sit in something that’s of generally better quality than can be found in a hotel’s public areas.
I’m also thinking that maybe the location of a resort or hotel affects the type of furniture the owners decide to install in the bedrooms. For instance, a seaside hotel in the tropics would probably have light, airy furnishings as opposed to a ski resort which would probably go with earth tones to instill a feeling of warmth and comfort.
I’m wondering, though, what the furniture is like in the rooms of the best budget skiing resorts in Europe, which, according to Telegraph writer Peter Hardy, are the following:
- Brides-les-Bains, France
- Cauterets, France
- St-Gervais, France
- Soldeu, Andorra
- Puy St Vincent, France
- Bohinj, Slovenia
- High and Low Tatras, Slovakia
- Poiana Brasov, Romania
Maybe at least one of them features something like Gianni Rossetti’s IB Genesis GE Armchair 2008 in their rooms. It’s available in leather or fabric finishes and is upholstered with durable and non-deformable polyurethane foam with polyester fiber. Stuffed and fluffy, it looks ideal for lounging and relaxing while nursing a brandy after a good day of skiing. It even looks luxurious, which is almost always a good thing for a hotel. Just because it’s a budget accommodation doesn’t mean it should convey a cheap image as well.
