Benches and lobby seating
Guests wait in a hotel more than anyone notices: for a table at the restaurant door, for friends before the banquet, for the car to the airport. This small group holds 9 benches at a standard seat height, nearly all with upholstery options.

Plan the room around the changeover
Start with the seat count for the room and the way your team will set it. Then read the listed dimensions, the frame and the seat options, and whether a model is marked as stackable. A ballroom, a restaurant and a terrace each deserve their own line, so the order reads the way the property is laid out.
Benches give a hotel entrance or the corridor outside a function room a place to wait, so measure the wall run and pick the cover before choosing from restaurant benches and lounge seating.
Start with the position
Measure the available wall length or waiting area and note the route beside the seating. Compare the listed footprint with the space used by guests entering and leaving the seat.
Check the unit and finish
Read whether the listing is for an individual bench, seat, or configured piece. Keep the offered upholstery or finish with that model when recording quantities.
Guests wait in a hotel more than anyone notices: for a table at the restaurant door, for friends before the banquet, for the car to the airport. This small group holds 9 benches at a standard seat height, nearly all with upholstery options. Start with where the bench will stand, then pick a style that suits the wall behind it.
Where a bench belongs
The restaurant entrance, the corridor outside a function room, the lobby wall beside the bar. On a busy Saturday each of those fills twice: once as wedding guests gather before the doors open, again as diners wait for the second seating. Each is a spot where a guest sits for a few minutes rather than an hour. A bench gives that spot a seat without filling it with loose chairs that drift across the floor by evening and need squaring up before the next arrival. For the restaurant door itself, look at waiting benches, the smaller group set aside for that job.
Styles from plain to tufted
Frames are wood on most benches here, with one metal bench and a waiting bench on metal legs. Wood backs vary the most: one is wood throughout, one pairs a padded seat with a wood back. Styles run from plain to retro, with one bead-board back, one back stitched in six channels, and one button-tufted half-circle bench for a lobby corner. All but one take a cover from the listed options, so the seat can match the restaurant chairs or the lobby bar stools. Ask for free upholstery swatches and see them against the wall color.
Two to compare: a wood bench at $270 and another wood bench at $342 with a different back.
Price and measuring the wall
Single benches start around $162 and reach $580, and one listing is a set of two wall benches. Measure the wall length first. Then keep the route past the bench clear: an accessible route needs at least 36 inches of width under section 403.5.1 of the 2010 ADA Standards, and guests with luggage need it too. Check the current standard and the local code for your property.
Mark the bench on the lobby drawing in a property plan, with its length and the clear route beside it, so the designer and your front office team see the same picture. For seats at a table, see the chairs department; for the lobby bar, bar stools.
