‘This report presents the research on hospitality sector. It shows a detailed set of stan-
dards and requirements of designing a convention hotel and a centre. This report is primarily ad-
dressed to architects and designers, who are involved in the designing of a hotel or will be designing
a hotel to give them a sense of spaces and special features of a hotel and convention centre, An un-
derstanding of different spaces in a hotel is been mentioned and how the programming of different
floors and areas need to be done. Therefore, the report would give them a different perspective in de-
signing a project like this and giving a different experience to the user.
Grateful acknowledgment is here made to those who helped in gathering data for this report.
This work would not have reached its present form without their invaluable help. It has been written
to fulfil the graduation requirements of the Architecture Program at the Gateway College of Archi-
tecture and Design (GCAD). I was engaged in researching and writing this report from January to
March 2018.
‘The thesis report was undertaken under the guidance of Prof. Anand Dhote. The research and
analysis was difficult, but conducting extensive investigation has allowed me to gather all the infor-
mation required for designing a hotel and convention complex. Fortunately, my mentors from the
GCAD, were always available and willing to answer all the queries. 1 would like to thank my super-
visors for their excellent guidance and support during this process. | also wish to thank all of the re-
spondents, without whose cooperation | would not have been able to conduct this analysis
To my Gateway family, I would like to thank you for your wonderful cooperation as well. It
‘was always helpful to bat ideas about my research around you. I also benefitted from debating issues
with my friends and family. If [ever lost interest, you kept me motivated. My parents deserve a par-
ticular note of thanks: your wise counsel and kind words have always served me well,Table of Contents
