Contemporary hospitality design is increasingly shifting its focus from pure aesthetics to the creation of a cohesive guest experience. Kitchens and bathrooms – once treated as purely functional zones – have become key spaces that shape the identity of hotels, aparthotels and PRS concepts. Here, materials, light and detailing determine not only the first impression, but also the long-term performance of the investment.
In the premium segment, designers are turning to solutions that combine refined aesthetics with durability under intensive use. A compelling example is the RAUVISIO crystal collection by REHAU – a surface with an elegant glass-like effect that performs beautifully both on furniture fronts and as a splashback. It’s perfectly smooth finish reflects light, visually enlarging compact kitchenettes and hotel bathrooms alike. At the same time, it offers greater resistance to impact and everyday wear than traditional glass.
For projects with particularly high performance requirements, durability becomes paramount. This is where the RAUVISIO noir collection stands out – a surface engineered for enhanced scratch resistance and moisture stability, making it ideal for intensively used spaces. In hotel apartments and suite bathrooms, it ensures longevity without compromising on design. Its deep, matt black finish lends interiors a sense of sophistication and drama, aligning seamlessly with contemporary trends favouring bold contrasts and atmospheric palettes.
Complementing this concept is RAUVISIO cube – a surface inspired by architectural concrete. Its raw, mineral aesthetic pairs effortlessly with minimalist forms and natural materials. Within hospitality environments, it enables the creation of loft-style interiors that remain welcoming and comfortable.
The synergy of these three collections allows designers to craft cohesive, modern kitchen and bathroom spaces that respond equally to investors’ expectations and to guests’ desire for quality, durability and an authentic design experience.
