Bring 5-Star Environmental Lighting to Your 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. What made the Park Hyatt so iconic? It’s not just the views; the lighting also 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 look at how the world’s luxury hotels use environmental lighting to create an unforgettable customer experience—and how we can apply it to your Kansas City 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 can, too, 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.

Say Something Unique
The business landscape is competitive, and if you want your space to stand out, lighting can help you express something unique. Custom fixtures act like art, inviting guests into the experience, while linear lighting adds a modern touch.

Establish Prominence
If you want to be known as the best bar, concert venue, or 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.
