“First impressions can be all important, especially when you are arriving in a new city, which is why many hotels put a lot of effort into creating spectacular entrances to their properties. These five hotels have really pushed the boat out when it comes to their lobbies, with extravagant chandeliers as the centrepiece to light the way.

The Fairmont Empress, Victoria, Canada

With an impressive location on Victoria’s inner harbour, the interior design of The Fairmont Empress certainly does justice to its surroundings.

The Fontenay, Hamburg, Germany
———————————–

The renowned designer William Brand is responsible for the look and feel of The Fontenay, a five-star hotel in Hamburg overlooking the water. Look up when you stand in the atrium to see his forest-inspired chandelier illuminating the scene, as the leaves connected to the metal branch shine like the surface of the lake outside the hotel’s windows. Brand’s creations can be found throughout this boutique hotel, including in the restaurant and in a number of the luxury suites.

The Peninsula Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
————————————–

The five-star The Peninsula Tokyo might stand in the heart of one of the world’s most modern metropolises, but its design helps link it to the finest of Japanese traditions. In the two-storey lobby, a concave chandelier has been created to resemble hotaru or fireflies, while the carpet has been designed to reflect the pine trees of the Imperial Palace, a short distance away. Once beyond the lobby, you can soak away your troubles in the indoor pool, choose from a range of spa treatments, or enjoy fine dining in one of the hotel’s four restaurants.
