Fabric for hotel rooms

When it comes to hotel rooms, the transformation of the Moxy Hotel in Slough remains a firm favourite of the team. It demonstrates perfectly how a faux leather such as Infiniti can successfully convey a retro concept within the walls of a contemporary brand.

Distinction Group are the creative experts behind this scheme. Specifying the gorgeous neutral shades of Caramel and Espresso, their soft furnishings and other staging add a subtle burst of colour to the sophisticated and earthy scheme.

Our designer upholstery fabrics, are perfect for furniture, headboards, cushions, and stylish accents - adding a touch of luxury. Meanwhile, our eco-friendly fire retardant treatment ensures safety without compromising style.

Designer upholstery fabrics for hotel lobbies, bars and restaurants

The right design scheme can play a vital role in the success of a hotel bar or restaurant, and selecting the best possible fabric can also contribute to this. Textures, materials and lighting can transform a space, creating a memorable atmosphere that draws guests in and keeps them returning.

It can sometimes be difficult to get the balance right between the look of a fabric and meeting requirements and practicality. But this is where fabrics such as Infiniti and Cambio excel. Cambio with its 80,000 rubs offers a plain luxury velvet which offers a kaleidoscope of shades to suit any scheme. And, with 100,000 rubs, Infiniti again is a popular choice for the Faux leather.

Hotel Fabrics for areas with high-traffic

First impressions matter and the design of a hotel lobby is crucial in setting the tone for the guest experience. A well-designed lobby conveys quality and warmth, encouraging feelings of excitement, relaxation or exploration. But, as with all commercial spaces, lavish design must also be durable. It must remain both inviting and resilient, leaving a lasting impression that drives positive reviews and repeat visits.

Fabric again plays a key role in achieving the goals of a space such as this. Deceptively delicate in appearance, Ombra is a distressed velvet available in 26 colourways. The perfect upholstery fabric for hotels, its durability gives designers peace of mind.

For fans of more of an abstract fabric design, Venezia is another excellent choice. A Luxury Jacquard Collection, it is manufactured with the highest quality yarns by one of Europe's finest weavers. It also available in 35 combinations of varying designs and shades allowing designers to settle on a fabric that feels truly unique to their scheme.

Patterned fabrics continue to be a popular choice for communal areas as they create visual interest and can reinforce a brand’s style. But they’re also an effective way to hide any unavoidable marks and stains. In high-traffic areas, patterned fabrics are practical, as they maintain a fresh appearance longer than solid colours, making them ideal for a polished and inviting lobby space.
