Title: Develop a Floor Plan Packet for the San Diego Marriott La Jolla Hotel
Background:
The San Diego Marriott La Jolla has a total of 14 floors, 21 meeting spaces, and 372 guest rooms. When trying to direct guests in the right direction for events as well as trying to place guests in desired rooms which are away from elevators and ice machines, it can be hard to remember each floor design of the hotel and where each room number lives. This project will help create a “cheat sheet” for the front desk agents to direct guests and choose appropriate locations suited for each guest’s need. More importantly, it will help me practice my design and technical skills while creating a floorplan packet for the front desk.
Description:
The project will involve 5 major phases. The first phase will be the research phase to find out the locations of each room, room type, and amenities on each floor. The second phase would be to learn how to use online floor plan design programs. The third phase would including practicing making floor plans and looking up examples of successful floor plans in order to create my own draft. In the fourth phase I would ask for feedback and advice on how to improve my rough draft. And finally, I would develop the finished product, have it approved by my manager, and place one floor plan packet at each pod of the front desk for the front desk agents to use.
Success Indicators:
A successful design will have a clear layout of each floor plan, be easily readable by the front desk agents, and have appropriate annotations as to what type of room (standard, deluxe, suite) it is as well as provide easily explainable directions to each room. The main objective would be to provide and easily accessible and understandable packet in which front desk agents can go to in order to find the location of a specific room, directions to lead guests to the correct meeting room, and information about a certain room's amenities/room type (ex. to find a room that is near the elevator, has a single king bed, and a sofa bed).
