The guest experience starts long before the hotel room
A hotel stay does not begin when the guest opens the door to their room.
It starts right at the reception.
First impressions are made in the hotel lobby, reception desk and lounge where guests wait, work, socialise or relax. The temperature in these environments affects the experience more than many people think.
A cold lobby, drafts from the entrance doors or cold seating areas near glass areas can quickly spoil the overall impression. Similarly, a comfortable and even heat can help create the welcoming feeling that modern hotels strive for.
That's why more and more hotels are choosing infrared heating from Infracenter.
Since 2014, we have helped hotels, restaurants, offices and commercial properties across the Nordic region create greater comfort with professional infrared panels. Today, we are the Nordic region's largest specialist in infrared panels and the Nordic region's largest supplier of Dark Heaters.
Modern hotel lobby with guests sitting in the lounge area near large glass panels.
Therefore, hotel environments are particularly challenging to heat.
Hotels often have several characteristics that make heating more complicated than in traditional office environments.
This includes, among other things:
Large glass areas
High ceilings
Entrance doors that are opened hundreds of times every day
Lounges with varying occupancy
Reception areas where staff sit still for long periods of time
Open surfaces where heat spreads easily
Traditional heating systems primarily heat the air. When the entrance doors are opened or cold drafts occur at glass areas, a large part of the heat is quickly lost.
Infrared heating works differently.
Instead of first heating the air, people, furniture, floors, walls and other surfaces are heated directly. The result is a more even and pleasant comfort in the areas where guests and staff actually spend time.
Traditional heating or infrared heating?
| Challenge | Traditional heating | Infrared heating from Infracenter |
|---|---|---|
| Cold draft from entrance | Common | Greatly reduced |
| High ceilings | The heat rises upwards | The heat ends up where people live. |
| Large glass areas | Uneven temperature | Smoother comfort |
| Lounge areas | Air temperature in focus | People and furniture are heated |
| Operating noise | Fans may be present | Quiet operation |
| Comfort experience | Air heating | Natural and even heat |
Which solution is best suited for a hotel environment?
| Area | Recommended solution |
|---|---|
| Reception | Infra panels |
| Hotel lobby | Infra panels |
| Lounge | Infra panels |
| Conference areas | Infra panels |
| Bar area | Infrared panels or Dark Heater |
| Entrance zones | Dark Heater |
| Areas with a lot of glass | Infra panels |
The choice is rarely about a single product. It's about creating the right comfort in the right environment.
Comfort that guests actually notice
When hotels invest in heating, it's not just about energy.
It's about experiences.
Guests rarely notice what type of heating system is used. However, they immediately notice if the environment feels cold, drafty or uneven.
That's why many hotels appreciate infrared heating.
The heat feels natural, quiet and even. Floors, furniture and interior design become more comfortable to be near, while temperature differences in the room are reduced.
The result is a hotel environment that feels more exclusive and welcoming.
Energy-efficient heat that lasts longer
When infrared heat hits floors, walls, furniture and other surfaces, some of the energy is stored in the materials.
This means that the heat does not disappear as quickly when entrance doors are opened or people move through the premises.
Many hotels also appreciate that infrared heating works completely without fans.
This means:
Quieter environments
Minor moves
Smoother comfort
Higher well-being for guests and staff
Discreet installation for modern hotels
Hotels invest large sums in design, interior design and architecture.
That's why you rarely want technology to dominate the room.
Infracenter's infrared panels can be mounted on ceilings, walls or integrated into suspended ceilings and acoustic ceilings. The result is a discreet installation where the heat is felt but barely visible.
This makes them particularly popular in:
Hotel lobbies
Receptions
Lounges
Conference environments
Exclusive bars
Wellness facilities

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about infrared heating for hotels
Why is infrared heating a good fit in hotel lobbies?
Infrared heating warms people and surfaces directly, which provides more even comfort in environments where entrance doors are opened frequently.
Does infrared heating work with large glass areas?
Yes. Because heat is stored in people, furniture and surfaces, comfort is often experienced better near glass areas.
Can infrared panels be integrated into suspended ceilings?
Yes. Many of our models are developed to fit suspended ceilings and acoustic ceilings.
Is infrared heating energy efficient for hotels?
Many hotels appreciate that the energy is used where guests and staff actually stay, while the heat is stored in the room's surfaces.
Do infrared panels require a lot of maintenance?
No. Infra panels contain no moving parts and normally require very little maintenance.
Create a hotel environment that guests want to return to
Comfort is not just about temperature.
It's about the feeling the guest gets when they step through the door, sit in the lounge or check in after a long trip.
With the right infrared heating, hotels can create a warmer, quieter and more welcoming environment where both guests and staff feel more comfortable.
That's why more and more hotels are choosing Infracenter.
