Designed for guest experience and continuous use

Glass Entrances for Hotels and Hospitality Buildings

Hotel entrances play a key role in shaping first impressions. From arrival to departure, entrance systems must operate smoothly while contributing to the building's overall look and feel.

Hotels operate throughout the day and night, placing constant demand on glazing and entrance systems. These systems must remain reliable while supporting guest flow and maintaining a comfortable internal environment.

Open Entrances works with developers, architects and hotel operators to design and deliver bespoke glass entrance systems that balance appearance, performance and durability.

Challenges in hotel environments

Hospitality settings introduce specific considerations for entrance design and glazing systems.

Each project requires a considered approach that supports both operational use and architectural intent.

Hotel entrances are in constant use. Systems must operate reliably without interruption while accommodating guests, staff and visitors.

Entrances form part of the overall guest experience. Glazing systems must align with the building's design while creating a welcoming arrival point.

Hotels experience varied footfall throughout the day. Entrances must allow smooth movement while avoiding congestion in busy periods.

Maintaining internal temperature is important for guest comfort. Entrance systems must help manage airflow while remaining accessible.

Entrance design and specification

Open Entrances develops entrance systems in collaboration with project teams, ensuring that design intent and performance requirements are aligned.

This includes:

  • bespoke entrance design for hotel developments
  • integration with façades and glazing systems
  • coordination with architects, contractors and consultants
  • detailed specification of glass, finishes and system performance

Each system is engineered to meet the demands of the building while maintaining a consistent visual outcome.

Entrance systems for hotel environments

Open Entrances provides a range of glass entrance systems designed for hospitality settings. Each system can be adapted to suit the building's scale, layout, and usage.

Collaborative Product Design

Open Entrances works with project teams to develop tailored entrance systems that align with the building's design, layout, and operational requirements.

Sliding Doors

Sliding systems provide smooth and accessible entry, particularly suited to high-use entrances and areas where space needs to be optimised.

Architectural Glass Solutions

Bespoke structural glazing solutions can be developed for large or complex hotel projects, including oversized panels and custom entrance configurations.

Frameless Glass Façades

Frameless façade systems create open, visually clear entrances, helping establish a strong first impression while maximising natural light.

Curved Sliding Doors

Curved sliding systems can be used to create a distinctive entrance feature or follow the geometry of the building.

Revolving Doors

Revolving doors help manage guest flow while reducing the infiltration of outside air into the building, supporting indoor comfort.

Concealed Air Curtains

Air curtain systems can be integrated into entrances to manage airflow and maintain internal temperature without affecting the design.

Swing Doors

Swing doors offer a practical solution for secondary entrances and internal transitions within hotel spaces.

Integration and performance

Entrance systems in hotels must operate reliably under continuous use while maintaining environmental quality.

Open Entrances considers:

  • durability under frequent use
  • airflow management and internal comfort
  • accessibility and compliance with current standards
  • integration with automation and access systems
  • long-term performance of glazing and mechanical components

Each system is designed to support both guest experience and operational efficiency.
