July 03, 2023
Whether your hotel caters to families, business professionals, or high-end guests, there's one thing they all have in common — they need attractive, practical hotel flooring. The lobby should be welcoming and stylish, guest rooms need to be comfortable, and all spaces must be spotlessly clean. Fortunately, checking all those boxes when choosing our flooring products is easy.
Not only are they durable and easy to maintain, but you also have many options that allow you or your interior designers to create exactly the look you want. You can select styles that match your hotel's aesthetic and the rest of its décor, be it vintage, traditional, or contemporary.
Another benefit your guests will appreciate is the eco-friendly nature of our products. Our flooring options are NSF, GreenGuard, and FloorScore® certified, emitting extremely low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals that may affect indoor air quality and cause health issues. We've ensured that our offerings and manufacturing processes are as safe as possible.
In this blog, we'll discuss our most popular products for hotel flooring — luxury vinyl planks, luxury vinyl tile, hybrid rigid core, and waterproof wood. You'll learn how each product differs, what they have in common, and how to choose which is ideal for your hotel. We'll also offer some inspiration to guide you through your renovation.
LUXURY VINYL PLANKS
Everlife® Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring allows hoteliers to present the look of natural hardwood with a completely worry-free product. It's waterproof, making it an exceptional choice for any area that may be regularly exposed to water or cleaned frequently.

Our click-lock system makes installation a breeze, cutting labor expenses and renovation time. Choose from shades ranging from elegant tans and beiges to darker brilliant grays and browns, including the gorgeous examples of luxury vinyl plank flooring from the Prescott® Collection shown here.
