Coving & Cornice for Hotels

Coving and cornice work in hotels enhances the look of guest rooms, corridors, lobbies and other areas. Coving & cornice for hotels serves the dual purpose of enhancing the hotel's aesthetics while at the same time masking imperfections in the transitional area between wall and ceiling. Exactly what type of coving and cornice work is used in a given hotel will depend on a variety of factors, including the age and architectural style of the hotel, as well as its branding.

How Different Hotels Employ Coving & Cornice

The style and complexity of coving & cornice for hotels will vary:

In Luxury Hotels

In luxury hotels cornice and coving often features period-specific or bespoke detailing. This is particularly true in older hotels. The exact style of the moulding will often depend on whether the hotel is Edwardian, Georgian, Victorian or from a different period.

In Converted Mansions or Historic Inns

Converted mansions and historic inns often call for restoration or reinstatement work to ensure the coving and cornice work exactly matches the original moulding. When such structures are extended we are sometimes called upon to replicate the historic coving and cornice work for the sake of design consistency.

In Modern Chain Hotels

Many of these hotels will embrace coving and cornice work in order to differentiate themselves from budget hotels. In most cases, however, the coving will employ clean lines in order to dovetail with the more contemporary nature of the experience they offer.

In Budget Hotels

Coving & cornice for hotels that occupy the discount end of the spectrum tend to be ultra simplistic, such as square edged plasterboard or drywall. The bottom line is that "budget" and "coving" are generally mutually exclusive. Coving & cornice for hotels helps contribute to good first impressions, which are important for those hotels with an exclusive or semi-exclusive image to uphold. Since that is not a consideration for a budget hotel you will be hard-pressed to find high-end moulding there.
