A hotel food and beverage program rarely lives in one room. The same property might run a signature restaurant, a lobby bar, a breakfast room and a pool deck, each with its own hours, traffic and look. Hotel restaurant furniture has to cover all of them while staying durable and easy to maintain. Contract Seating For Less supplies in-stock contract seating, table tops and table bases for hotel F&B outlets across the U.S. and Canada.
Hotel restaurants and F&B outlets
A hotel restaurant is often the most design-driven space on the property, and guests may linger through several courses. Upholstered side chairs with a supportive back are the usual starting point. The Fletcher Side Chair has an upholstered seat and back on a metal frame (seat height 19.5″), and the Radley Metal Chair pairs a metal frame with an upholstered seat. For a warmer wood look, see our wood frame chairs.
For tops, stone reads well in a hotel dining room and handles heavy use. The Vista Sintered Stone Table Top comes in Calacatta White or Veined Italian Black with a 1-1/4″ eased edge, is rated for indoor and outdoor use, and ships in 2–3 weeks from order and payment. See all stone table tops.
Lobby bars
Lobby bars see guests at every hour, from morning coffee meetings to late check-ins. Comfortable bar stools with backs suit guests who settle in. The Milford Bar Stool has a “wood grain” metal frame in an oak or walnut color with a black faux leather seat and back (seat height 30.5″). The Brixton Bar Stool is a lower-profile option with an upholstered seat on a “wood grain” metal frame, also at 30.5″ seat height. Both suit 40–42″ bar-height counters and tables. Browse upholstered bar stools and swivel bar stools for more.
Breakfast rooms
Breakfast service is fast, busy and messy: coffee spills, syrup and constant wipe-downs. Chairs with faux leather or wood seats, and tops with durable surfaces, make turnover easier. Commercial laminate tops such as the Metro 2″ Laminate Table Top ship in 1–2 weeks and come in many sizes, including rounds. Square two-tops that can be pushed together give you flexibility for families and groups. Plan on about 24″ of table edge per seat when sizing the room.
Pool decks, rooftops and terraces
Outdoor F&B areas need furniture that is rated for it. Poly-molded chairs and items marked Indoor/Outdoor are UV-resistant and suited for year-round outdoor use; wood-frame seating is for indoor or conditioned spaces. The Seabrook Side Chair has an aluminum frame with a faux “wood grain” powder coat finish and a faux wicker seat and back; it is stackable, which helps with off-season storage. For a pool bar, the Shoreline Bar Stool has an aluminum frame with “faux wood” aluminum slats and is also stackable.
Pair outdoor seating with outdoor-rated tops and bases. The Terrace HPL Table Top is high-pressure laminate rated for outdoor use, in Black Wood Grain, Soapstone or White Carrera, and ships in 1–2 weeks. The Corbel Steel Table Base (Indoor/Outdoor) is specially treated for outdoor use and comes in dining or bar height, with round spreads for tops up to 30×30, 38×38 or 48×48 (56″ round). See the full outdoor collection and our outdoor patio dining guide.
Meeting and event spaces
Many hotels also run private dining rooms and small event spaces that borrow furniture from the restaurant. Chairs that match the main dining room make it easy to move seating between rooms for a larger party. Square tops, such as 30″ x 30″ or 36″ x 36″, can be combined into longer tables, and bases in the same height keep the joined surface level. Stackable outdoor chairs can also be brought in for overflow seating in a covered space. Using about 24″ of table edge per seat, a run of four 30″ x 30″ tops pushed together seats roughly ten guests including the ends.
Planning across multiple outlets
- Standardize where you can. Using one chair model in both the restaurant and breakfast room moves the order into higher volume tiers and keeps replacements consistent.
- Separate indoor and outdoor specs. Keep wood-frame seating and indoor-only tops (standard laminate, butcher block and live edge) inside.
- Stagger lead times. In-stock seating and bases typically ship in 2–3 days; stained-to-order frames ship in 2–3 weeks; tops ship in 1–2 or 2–3 weeks depending on material.
- Plan receiving. Larger orders ship palletized by LTL freight. Seating arrives fully assembled; bases arrive unassembled with hardware included.
