Floors for hotels. Selection guide
When it comes to the discussion of natural materials, there are a few aspects that we need to consider. While they are certainly refined and precious, some of them have characteristics that must be carefully assessed if they are to be used in a high-traffic environment like a hotel. Authentic marble, for example, has a fine yet delicate finish that tends to wear and become opaque. Even the appeal of wood has to be considered in light of the cost for its continuous maintenance. Carpets are widely used in hotels also because of their ability to dampen noise, but their drawbacks include a lower level of hygiene and the need for continuous maintenance to keep them free from bacteria and viruses, not to mention periodic replacement due to wear or permanent stains. While concrete or resin is the ideal look when you want to add a contemporary industrial touch to your hotel, they're also the most expensive options for flooring, having to be produced on site. Often the choice falls on linoleum and LVT floors, products made from different layers of various materials that are pressed or made using an industrial process, especially for reasons of economic convenience in cheap hotels and hostels. But in the long run porcelain tiles are the most forward-looking solution.







The Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa is the perfect fusion of architecture and nature. The natural appearance of Atlas Concorde porcelain tiles reinforces the link between the resort's spaces and its surrounding environment, offering a fundamental design support for creating a simple, refined stylistic mix.
In this context, Atlas Concorde's collections help create welcoming environments where the strongest trends of contemporary style resonate with a selection of tiles inspired by natural materials, from the marble effect of Marvel to the wood look of the Etic, Nid, and Axi collections, the stone effect of Brave and Trust, and the concrete effect of the Dwell collection.
