Marriott International unveils a new generation of workspaces in hotels in Munich and Amsterdam
The Marriott Hotels brand, a core brand of Marriott International, is redefining the concept of traditional business meeting space to meet the growing demand for more attractive and creative hotel workspaces, including meeting rooms and pre-function areas. The new Marriott Hotels brand concept of workspace is characterized by a holistic approach to event management that seamlessly combines service, technology and modern design. The Munich Marriott Hotel and Amsterdam Marriott Hotel will be the first hotels in Europe to offer guests such spaces in September 2013, based on the concept of the "initiative of the masses".
Research by Marriott and WIRED magazine publishers shows that the current generation business people works in a different mode. The focus has shifted from individual workplaces to a holistic ecosystem that provides choice and control over where and how to work, in or out of the office. The new workspaces easily adapt to the needs of the event and its participants, rather than adapting to existing planning standards and furniture. Informal communication, work meetings, interactive classes - new technologies and design are organically intertwined and facilitate the tasks of preparing and holding events.
Workspaces will be equipped with wireless internet, interactive whiteboards or walls, docking stations, control systems with touch screens, they enable video conferencing. All technology will be tied to either the Internet or app applications, providing a platform for further technological improvements. The rooms provide natural light and a comfortable color scheme with dynamic color accents.
The brand's innovative design solutions for the lobby formed the basis of the approach to the design of the lobby in front of the work areas. Hotel lobbies have evolved into flexible spaces for work, meetings and socializing. The same idea dominates in the new approach to the so-called "pre-function" areas in front of the halls - the necessary furniture will be placed in the foyer, providing an opportunity to work and communicate outside the work space.
The new workspaces in Munich and Amsterdam will be completed by mid-September.
