The hospitality industry is continuing to grow around the world. According to STR and Tourism Economics, the hotel industry alone is expected to have about a two percent growth for 2017. As that industry continues to become more competitive and needs to keep up with the demand, they need to be renovated, rebranded or expanded.

For this issue of Contemporary Stone & Tile Design, we cover four different hotel projects. Starting on page 18, we cover the renovation of the tallest hotel in Europe, The Radisson Blu hotel in Lyons, France. The project features the Gate porcelain tile collection by Ceramiche Caesar. On page 22, we feature the Archer Hotel, a boutique hotel in an up-and-coming area of Austin, TX. The hotel rooms have the unique design of furnishing most of its surfaces with tile and very limited amounts of carpet.
