1. Location – Hotel outdoor spaces should be located away from the main road or other public areas so that guests can enjoy their privacy.
2. Landscaping – Strategic landscaping can create privacy while also beautifying the outdoor space. This can be accomplished through the use of trees, tall hedges, and other foliage that creates a barrier and blocks the view of neighboring properties.
3. Seating arrangements – Outdoor seats shouldn't be positioned so that guests are directly looking at each other, and the seating should be positioned to allow for privacy conversations.
4. Lighting – Adequate lighting should be provided at night, but care should be taken to avoid light pollution that causes disturbance of guests.
5. Sound – Noise reduction is necessary when designing outdoor areas. Water features like fountains, white noise machines or barriers such as high walls can help maximize guest privacy.
6. Enclosures – The use of enclosures like pergolas, gazebos, and cabanas can provide guests with a private outdoor space that is somewhat detached from other guests and provides better privacy.
7. Views – Outdoor areas should be designed to take advantage of natural surroundings and views so that guests can enjoy the scenery without exposing themselves to public eyes.
