Luxury Hotel & Resort Flooring Systems

Hotels & Resorts Flooring — Vancouver & British Columbia

Seamless • Sanitary • Heavy-Duty Resinous Flooring by Priority One Epoxy Flooring

From grand lobbies and guest corridors to spa wet zones, commercial kitchens and pool decks, hospitality spaces demand floors that combine luxury aesthetics with 24/7 durability. Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs engineered epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane cement, polished concrete and terrazzo-look systems for hotels and resorts across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and the BC Interior—built for slip resistance, rapid return-to-service, chemical resistance and easy sanitation. Our team understands front-of-house presentation and back-of-house performance, specifying finishes that elevate guest experience while standing up to relentless traffic, housekeeping routines and food-and-beverage operations. Unlike porous or jointed surfaces that trap soils, grease and moisture, our seamless, non-porous coatings reduce cleaning time, minimize odours and improve presentation in public areas. We tailor COF (coefficient of friction) to each zone—higher in wet areas and entrances, smoother in ballrooms and corridors—so you maintain both guest safety and the high-end look your brand requires. For projects with tight timelines or live-guest environments, our night work, phased scheduling and fast-cure polyaspartic topcoats keep disruptions minimal and help reopen spaces by morning.

Visual Inspiration — BC’s Luxury Hospitality Environments

British Columbia is home to iconic hotels and resorts that set the tone for design and service excellence. The images below offer an aesthetic reference for the quality level, lighting conditions and guest traffic patterns our flooring systems are designed to handle. We frequently collaborate with owners, general managers and designers to balance visual identity, safety and lifecycle value.

Why Hotels & Resorts Need Purpose-Built Flooring

Hospitality floors work harder than almost any commercial surface. Guests, luggage, bell carts, housekeeping trolleys, banquet equipment, and service vehicles all contribute to abrasion and impact. Add aggressive cleaning chemicals, UV exposure at entrances and pool decks, thermal shock in kitchens and dish areas, and constant wetting and drying cycles—and it’s clear why commodity finishes fail early. Priority One Epoxy Flooring designs systems that address these stressors from the substrate up, integrating moisture mitigation, surface profiling, coves, drains and topcoat chemistry to deliver predictable, long-term value.

• Seamless hygiene — non-porous surfaces with integral cove base reduce harborage points and speed sanitization.
• Dialed traction — COF matched to dry and wet conditions for entrances, ramps, kitchens, spas and pool decks.
• Moisture protection — MVB primers mitigate slab RH and extend coating life where moisture is elevated.
• Brand-forward design — metallics, terrazzo-look, chip/quartz blends, inlaid bands and logo options.
• Fast return-to-service — polyaspartic/PU topcoats with rapid cure to minimize revenue downtime.

Whether you’re refreshing a downtown lobby before high season, modernizing a spa deck, or replacing worn tile in a commercial kitchen, we specify systems that deliver a quiet underfoot feel, stain resistance, UV stability and easy day-to-day maintenance—without sacrificing the premium look your brand is known for.

Application Areas — Where These Floors Matter Most

Lobbies & Registration

First impressions live in the lobby. We pair high-build epoxy for depth and flatness with UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats for clarity and scratch resistance. Metallic and terrazzo-look designs coordinate with stone, timber and brass accents, while wayfinding bands or subtle striping can guide guest movement to front desk, elevators and lounge. For revolving-door vestibules, we increase traction via fine quartz to account for rain, slush and snow carried inside.

Guest Corridors & Public Spaces

Corridors demand durability with reduced noise transmission. Our broadcast systems and matte topcoats dampen sound compared to brittle tile, while resisting abrasion from luggage and room-service carts. Maintenance teams appreciate the non-porous surface that releases spills and soils quickly—reducing the time rooms are out of service due to corridor maintenance.

Restaurants, Lounges & Ballrooms

Front-of-house food and beverage areas need stain, scratch and heel mark resistance, plus sheen control for photos and events. We tune topcoats from matte to satin for glare reduction on large surfaces such as pre-function and ballrooms, and can embed logo inlays or color zoning for stage, dance floor and AV areas. In high-turnover spaces, fast-cure polyaspartics help reopen by morning after overnight work.

Spas, Saunas & Pool Decks

Wet zones require UV-stable chemistry and barefoot-safe textures. We match COF targets to municipal and insurer guidance, design integral coves for hygienic wall transitions, and plan slopes to drains to prevent ponding. For outdoor decks, we combine UV-stable topcoats with fine quartz textures that remain comfortable and easy to clean.

Commercial Kitchens & BOH

Urethane cement (polyurethane mortar) is the standard for thermal shock and chemical resistance in cook lines, dish pits and stewarding. It tolerates hot water washdowns, degreasers and impact from dropped utensils. Integral coves, stainless transitions and radius corners support sanitation and inspection success. For more detail, see our Commercial Kitchen Flooring guide.

Washrooms, Locker Rooms & Back-of-House

Seamless floors prevent grout staining and odor retention in washrooms and locker rooms. Added texture around sinks and urinals improves traction without complicating cleaning. Explore our Washroom Epoxy Flooring options for colorways and maintenance tips.

Parkades, Loading & Service Corridors

For parkades and loading areas, elastomeric membranes and heavy-duty coatings resist salts, tire abrasion and freeze–thaw cycles. Color bands improve wayfinding and guest safety in dim conditions. Learn more at Parkade Flooring.

Flooring Systems We Install — Built for Hospitality

Epoxy + Polyaspartic (FOH)

We build FOH systems with high-build epoxy for leveling and visual depth, then seal with UV-stable polyaspartic for rapid cure, abrasion resistance and long-term clarity. This combination is ideal for lobbies, corridors, ballrooms and restaurants where both aesthetics and quick turnover matter. We can add fine quartz to tune traction near entrances while leaving center-of-room areas smoother for ease of cleaning and rolling loads.

Urethane Cement (Kitchens/BOH)

Polyurethane cement handles thermal cycling, grease, caustic cleaners and heavy impacts. Typical builds include integral cove base (100–150 mm), positive slope to trench drains, and chemical-resistant topcoats. Where tiles remain, we can remove, repair the slab, and install a seamless system to eliminate grout failures.

Pool/SPA Systems

For pool decks, we specify UV-stable polyaspartic/PU with a fine to medium quartz profile that’s safe for bare feet and easy to clean. In saunas and steam areas, we address thermal expansion and condensation with breathable layers and moisture mitigation as needed. See Pool Deck Coatings for options.

Polished Concrete & Microtoppings

Modern aesthetics with low maintenance. Densified and guarded concrete resists dusting and staining, while microtoppings provide uniform color and subtle texture where the substrate is visually inconsistent.

Terrazzo-Look & Decorative

Our terrazzo-look systems and decorative chip/quartz broadcasts achieve premium visuals with faster installation than traditional terrazzo. We can add wayfinding bands, accent borders and logo inlays that align with brand standards, creating memorable FOH environments.

Design & Branding Integration — Elevate the Look, Protect the Investment

Great hospitality design is more than a beautiful finish; it’s a coordinated experience that expresses your brand’s personality from curb to corridor. Flooring is a huge share of the visual field and directly influences wayfinding, perception of cleanliness and guest comfort. Priority One Epoxy Flooring collaborates with owners, designers and brand teams to create color-consistent, photogenic floors that read premium under varied lighting conditions while delivering measurable maintenance savings.

• Color & Light Harmony: We balance reflectance values to keep spaces bright without glare. Matte and satin topcoats manage hotspots in ballrooms and pre-function corridors.
• Pattern & Zoning: Subtle patterns or bands guide guests to reception, elevators and concierge. Contrasting textures near vestibules improve traction while blending into the main field.
• Logo & Inlays: Durable brand elements installed under clear coats resist wear and remain crisp for years.
• Photogenic Finishes: Metallic and terrazzo-look blends photograph beautifully for marketing without trapping soils.
• Lifecycle Value: Seamless systems minimize grout and joint repairs, reducing outages and extending the refresh cycle.

Looking for inspiration? Consider the modern art-forward tone at Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver, the heritage elegance of Fairmont Empress in Victoria, or the alpine warmth at Pan Pacific Whistler. While every property is unique, well-specified resinous floors can enhance branding across all of them while simplifying logistics for operations.

Sustainability & Green Building Credits — Practical Strategies for Hotels

Sustainability is a core expectation for today’s travelers and operators. Our systems support green building programs with low-VOC formulations, long lifecycle performance and compatibility with maintenance practices that use less water and chemicals. By reducing tear-outs and extending refresh intervals, you also reduce embodied carbon and landfill waste over time.

• Low-VOC & Odour Control: Options available for occupied renovations and night work without disturbing guests.
• Durability = Fewer Replacements: Longer service life means fewer materials consumed over a building’s timeline.
• Water & Chemical Savings: Non-porous floors release soils faster, lowering water and detergent use.
• Reflectance Management: Appropriate sheen levels can improve perceived brightness, potentially reducing lighting loads.
• Selective Recoat: Future refreshes can be achieved with abrasion + topcoat reapplication, minimizing waste.

If your property targets specific certifications or brand sustainability metrics, we’ll align specifications and provide documentation at handover, including safety data, maintenance guides and recommended cleaning protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can we reopen a lobby or corridor?

With polyaspartic topcoats and overnight shifts, many FOH refreshes reopen by morning. Larger areas are phased to keep guest flow uninterrupted. We align scopes with your occupancy calendar to minimize revenue impact.

What’s best for commercial kitchens?

Urethane cement with integral cove—thermal-shock and chemical resistant, ideal for hot-wash, grease and impact zones. Slip resistance is tuned for traction without over-texturing, so floors remain easy to clean.

Can you match our brand colours or create a terrazzo-look?

Yes. We offer solid colours, metallic effects, terrazzo-look broadcasts, wayfinding bands and logo inlays. We provide mockups and sample boards for stakeholder review and photography checks.

Can you handle moisture issues on our slab?

Yes—Moisture Vapour Barrier (MVB) primers are specified when slab RH is elevated to protect the system and extend lifecycle. We test RH and pH and document results at handover.

Do you work off-hours or shoulder seasons?

Absolutely. Night work and phased sections minimise disruption during high-occupancy periods. We coordinate staging, protection, signage and housekeeping to maintain guest safety and wayfinding.

How do resinous floors compare to tile?

Seamless floors eliminate grout failures and reduce odour retention from trapped soils. They’re faster to clean, easier to sanitize and simpler to repair via selective recoat. Over time, lifecycle cost and downtime often drop compared to tile.
