Features: In the late 1980s of the 20th century, French designer Philippe Starck pioneered the view of interior design as stage scenery, using references and unexpected techniques to excite and delight guests. Since then, he has gradually become an expert in this field, anticipating the needs of the elite in the information age. The new hotel design developments described in this book reflect four major themes: modernism that prohibits pleasure, nostalgic opulence, luxurious fantasy, and the idea of excluding foreign influences. Based on these themes, chain hotels and independent hotels have adopted personalized design strategies to establish brand identities in an increasingly globalized market. This development has three main trends: , the quality of business hotels has significantly improved, and the self-referential interior design of art hotels has become softer, focusing design techniques on comfort. Second, both art hotels and business hotels have contributed to transforming urban spaces. Third, hotel design embraces the opportunities brought by cultural differences among different ethnic groups.
