Abstract
Sound in a hotel environment is one of the basic parameters determining the comfort of guests, which also has a big impact on users’ safety and health. Isolation of rooms from air and shock sounds, protection against noise, optimal reverberation time in public zones, reduction of nuisance of conversations in restaurants, are issues related directly to the ergonomics of modern hotel facilities. In this study they will be discussed theoretically and on selected examples, to present the most interesting solutions, combining good architecture with optimal acoustics.
