Every year, as the vacation season kicks off countless factors go into the organization of our much-anticipated getaways. But if finding the compromise on where everyone wants to go can take a while, understanding how to choose the perfect vacation stay and get the most out of it can be just as time-demanding. And that's for a reason: despite making the end result feel absolutely effortless, standout hotel design needs to satisfy some challenging criteria.

Although functionality, comfort, great service, and relaxation remain at the top of our priority list when booking some time off, we also want to ensure our readers have the resources necessary to identify what makes an hotel a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and how that can contribute to making their vacation truly memorable. That's why we have asked five industry experts to talk about the value that lies in hotel design, how they approach it in their respective practices, and what it takes to transform a hospitality location into a destination we will not want to leave.
