Pengaruh Pencahayaan Terhadap Kenyamanan Tamu di Lobby Hotel: Studi Kasus pada Hotel Bumi Bhandawa

Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of lighting on visitor comfort in the lobby of Hotel Bumi Bhandawa, Bandung. Both natural and artificial lighting are crucial elements in interior design that influence the ambiance and image of a hotel. The research utilizes qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews with visitors and questionnaires distributed to 30 respondents. The results indicate that natural lighting in the lobby is obstructed by irregularly arranged pine trees, while artificial lighting helps create a comfortable atmosphere despite needing better distribution. About 75% of respondents stated that lobby lighting affects their initial impression of the hotel. Recommendations include rearranging vegetation, adding artificial light sources, using adjustable-intensity lamps, and selecting appropriate light colors. Implementing these recommendations is expected to enhance visitor comfort and satisfaction, providing a more pleasant experience and improving the hotel's positive image.
