The reception is the true “Front Office Stage” of the hotel, a space where the uniform becomes an integral part of the décor. The receptionist is tasked with ensuring an impeccable first impression right from the initial visual contact with the guest. For this reason, front desk attire must create a perfect chromatic harmony with the interior design of the hall.
Ergonomics and high-performance materials
Reception uniforms require perfect static ergonomics, guaranteeing postural impeccability for those who alternate between long hours standing and moments seated.
To solve the problem of creases caused by sitting, we use crease-resistant fabrics such as high-twist wools or specific treatments.
These technical solutions prevent the formation of horizontal creases and avoid the unsightly "shiny" effect on elbows and the seat, maintaining a flawless appearance even after many hours at the desk.
Structural design and the Maurel approach
On a structural level, we implement targeted details to facilitate the limited movements behind the counter, such as finely studied back vents and skirts equipped with elastic linings.
It is essential to emphasize that our uniforms are designed as true made-to-measure fashion collections tailored to the needs and identity of the location, clearly differentiating themselves from the concept of traditional tailoring.
The garments are not suits made by a classic tailor, but are the result of a rigorous fitting service conducted by our expert operators, to ensure an impeccable fit.
Frequently asked questions
What does a hotel receptionist do? They are the first point of contact with the guest and manage the corporate image on the front line. They handle welcoming, managing reservations via check-in and check-out, the switchboard, and various administrative tasks. Furthermore, they assist clients, provide information, coordinate services, and resolve any issues.
Which fabrics should be avoided and how to manage uniforms for those sitting for many hours? Fabrics prone to shininess and creasing are avoided, favoring high-twist wools or anti-crease treatments.
How to match the reception uniform to the style of the Hall? We provide consultancy to harmonize the colors and textures of the uniform with the materials of the hall, such as marble, wood, and velvet. We can introduce colors that echo the location, accessories, embroidery, or prints inspired by frescoes and architectural frets present in the property.
Skirt or trousers for the receptionist: what does hotel etiquette say? It is impossible to predict and standardize a fixed rule, since the reception is a figure that bestows a strong identity upon the hotel. We unleash our creativity by exploring the most diverse solutions, ranging from the classic jacket and trouser suit to one-piece dresses, up to combinations like shirt and skirt or waistcoat and skirt.
Difference between men's and women's reception uniforms: how to coordinate them? Accessories are the most frequently used connecting elements between male and female figures. If the man wears a tie with a specific pattern or a certain color, the woman will coordinate the look with a twilly or a scarf that echoes the same pattern.
How should a hotel receptionist dress? Here too, there are no standardized rules and it is not possible to define a single look. Formal elegance and the type of uniform adapt entirely to the identity, mood, and needs of the individual hotel project.
