Abstract

Architecture, as an art and as a science, has three basic objectives for its products (the buildings): a. functionality, b. aesthetics and c. ensuring conditions of safety and comfort in their interior on the base of an efficient environmental and energy behavior. These three categories of characteristics that describe the object of architecture have particular interest for the buildings of hotels and enterprises of hospitality more generally. A hotel should be functional. Otherwise, problems will result in the organization and the operation of its services. A hotel should be beautiful. Otherwise, it will predispose negatively and it will drive back the customers and those visiting it. Finally, a hotel is supposed to ensure conditions of comfort in its interior. Otherwise, the customers and the workers in it will feel discomfort and the fame of the accommodated enterprise will be downgraded.
