We believe that the experience of the end user is a key component in this field. We work with our clients from the outset to establish a clear brief of their specific requirements including the look, feel, customer type or specific rating requirements and deliverables.

Functionality, Operations & Services Co-ordination

Whether for large multinational hotel chains or bespoke high-end restaurant design, the operation and services requirements of the project is critical in providing the client with a functioning building for the future which is efficient, rational, and meets their needs.

We use our wealth of knowledge from a variety of complex hospitality projects to allow us in providing a high level of quality & service to our clients in this sector. This is also supported by our expertise and experience of international best practices.

“Delighted! We approached Cronin Architects for our restaurant, bar, and guesthouse project in Galway. From the outset we found them to be very professional and thorough with excellent attention to detail where they helped us come up with the best approach to our whole site. We would be delighted to work with them again in the future.”
