The main purpose of this study is to identify the effects of a good hotel design in a comprehensive manner. The systematic literature review method has been applied and the academic databases of the well-known publishers that are Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, Emerald, Sage and Wiley have been selected for advanced search. Twenty-eight research articles related to hotel design have been content analyzed. Findings of the content analysis indicate that a good hotel design can affect consumers’ emotions, self-brand connection, satisfaction, preference, behavioral intentions and loyalty, and employees’ aesthetic pleasure and well-being. Findings also demonstrate that a good design contributes to marketing and financial performances of hotels. Other contributions of a successful hotel design on the business are reduced staffing levels and maintenance costs, increased sales, greater efficiency, higher gross operating profit and the need for lower capital investment. Hotel design is closely related to sustainability, as well. Within this context, a framework identifying the effects of a good hotel design within micro and macro levels has been developed and discussed both theoretically and practically. Since the sub-purpose of the study is describing the current literature related to hotel design, some bibliometric indicators such as the journals publishing articles related to hotel design, distribution of the articles by years and number of authors studying on this topic, paper types of the articles (empirical or conceptual) and research methods (quantitative or qualitative) they applied have been examined to define more research gaps and future research directions.
