In the world of hospitality, every detail contributes to the guest experience - from lighting and acoustics to materials and atmosphere. A floor is never just a floor.
Natural Comfort Underfoot – Hørning Floors in Hospitality Spaces
In the world of hospitality, every detail contributes to the guest experience - from lighting and acoustics to materials and atmosphere. At Hørning, we know that a floor is never just a floor. In hotels, restaurants, and lounges across Europe, our solid wooden floors offer more than durability; they provide warmth, elegance, and a natural calm that supports the architecture and enhances the sense of comfort and care.
Built to Withstand, Designed to Welcome
High-traffic spaces demand materials that hold up under pressure - without compromising on aesthetics. Our floors are crafted for both resilience and beauty, making them an ideal choice for the hospitality segment, where surfaces are expected to age gracefully over time. With the right maintenance, a Hørning floor retains its strength and visual appeal for decades, even in the most visited corners of a hotel or café.
Case: ECCO Hotel & Conference Centre by DISSING+WEITLING
Located in Southern Denmark, the ECCO Hotel & Conference Centre is a standout example of architecture that blends form, function, and environmental awareness. Designed by DISSING+WEITLING, the project incorporates Hørning floors to support the centre’s minimalist, Nordic expression. The natural materiality of the wood creates a warm and calming contrast to the architectural precision of the space, offering a tactile and welcoming foundation for learning, collaboration, and relaxation.
Case: Scandic Vulkan, Oslo
Nestled in Oslo's revitalised Vulkan district, Scandic Vulkan is a modern hotel that seamlessly blends Scandinavian simplicity with industrial character. Designed to reflect the vibrancy of its surroundings, the hotel features Hørning oak flooring in a warm tone, adding a tactile softness to its otherwise raw materials. The floor complements the architectural language of the hotel - balancing rough and refined, durable and inviting.

Global Brands, Local Craftsmanship
From the Mariot Hotel to the Hilton chain, Hørning has delivered wooden floors for internationally recognised names that demand high standards in both design and material performance. Each project is unique, but the common denominator is a commitment to quality and atmosphere.
Wood brings a timeless presence to interiors. It absorbs sound, softens acoustics, and connects guests to nature - a key element in wellness-driven design. Whether in an urban boutique hotel or a rural spa retreat, wood floors offer a tactile experience that supports both rest and interaction.
From Cafés to Conference Rooms
We don’t just supply hotel suites. Hørning floors are also found in:
- Restaurants that blend fine dining with design-forward spaces
- Lounge areas and hotel lobbies, where first impressions matter
- Cafés and cultural venues, where ambiance is everything
- Meeting and conference rooms, where performance meets professionalism
Hospitality Spaces That Last
In a market where materials must meet sustainability criteria and perform for years to come, solid wood floors stand out as both responsible and reliable. Our floors are made from certified timber, processed with care, and designed to contribute to the visual, physical, and environmental comfort of every space.
For architects working within the hospitality sector, a Hørning floor offers not only a design statement, but a long-term solution that delivers on atmosphere, resilience, and craftsmanship.
