Stone Surfaces in Hospitality - Beautiful and Built to Last

Stone surfaces aren’t just for kitchens and bathrooms - it’s making its mark in the hospitality world too. From sleek granite café counters to elegant engineered stone restaurant tabletops, stone brings a timeless appeal and unbeatable strength to busy service environments.

Why stone works in hospitality
Hospitality spaces demand surfaces that can handle the pressure. Counters and tables in cafés, bars, and restaurants are exposed to constant use, spills, heat, and cleaning.

Unlike softer surfaces, stone offers:

• Durability: Stone withstands daily wear and tear, from coffee cups to cocktail shakers.
• Hygiene: Non-porous engineered stone options make it easier to keep clean - a must in food service environments.
• Heat and stain resistance: Perfect for hot plates, espresso machines, or the occasional spilled glass of red wine.
• Timeless style: With a wide range of colours, textures, and finishes, stone complements both modern and classic hospitality interiors.

Style meets function
Think of the inviting glow of a café with a polished quartz counter, or the dramatic look of a bar with dark granite tops. Stone instantly upgrades the design of a hospitality space, making it feel both professional and welcoming.

For restaurants, stone tabletops create a sleek, easy-to-clean surface that can handle endless meals while still looking as good as the day they were installed. For bars, a stone counter adds sophistication and can be customised with edge details or finishes to reflect the venue’s brand.

Examples to inspire:

• Cafés: Light-toned engineered stone counters paired with timber shelving create a warm, modern look.
• Bars: Bold, dark marble-look stone paired with mood lighting delivers atmosphere and luxury.
• Restaurants: Neutral stone tabletops provide versatility, complementing everything from casual dining to fine cuisine.
