What Top Luxury Hotels Can Teach Us About Lighting Design

Bring 5-Star Environmental Lighting to Your Tulsa Business

It’s been twenty years since Lost in Translation debuted, the Sophia Coppola film starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. Most of the film takes place on the 41st floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo Hotel, an iconic destination overlooking the whole city.  

The hotel may be thirty years old now, but it still exudes luxury and sophistication. And one thing that made the Park Hyatt so iconic? It’s not just the views but also the lighting that elevated it to a worldwide destination. 

Whether you manage a hotel, store, bar, restaurant, office, or another commercial space, we can all learn a thing or two about environmental lighting from great works like the Park Hyatt. Let’s take a look at how the world’s luxury hotels use environmental lighting to create an unforgettable customer experience—and see how we can apply it to your Tulsa, OK, business.

Create an Ambiance 

In 1996, writer Anthony Dias Blue described the aforementioned Park Hyatt Tokyo in Cigar Aficionado magazine. He wrote, “When the elevator door closes at the ground floor, the lights are dim. As you rise soundlessly, the lights gradually, almost imperceptibly, brighten. When you reach the 41st floor, a burst of light propels you into the luminous lobby.” 

You, too, can create an unforgettable experience through lighting. After all, five-star lighting isn’t just about the fixtures. Lighting should respond to the environment and time of day, with customizable color temperatures and brightness to cultivate a comforting atmosphere. 

We can complete your Tulsa commercial space with a Lutron smart lighting system and custom wall-mounted touch plates. Lutron’s color-tunable LEDs offer smooth transitions and countless dimming options so we can curate the exact mood you desire. 

Say Something Unique 

It’s a competitive landscape for business owners today, and if you want to make your space stand out, lighting can help you express something unique. Custom fixtures function like a beautiful piece of art, inviting guests into the experience, while linear lighting adds a touch of modernity. 

One of the top luxury hotels today, Josun Palace in Seoul, is known for its creative fixtures and lighting design to create unique environments. Look at their lobbies and dining spaces, and let your imagination wander for your Tulsa business!  

Establish Prominence 

If you want to be known as the best bar, best concert venue, or even best office in the city, you need to send the message that your business is competent, strong, and here to stay. Believe it or not, environmental lighting can help you establish prominence. 

Here in Tulsa, the Mayo Hotel turns heads with its formidable historic exterior, illuminated by sconce lighting and the iconic rooftop neon sign. A commercial lighting design tells visitors, “We’re put together. You can do business with us”—all in one glance.
