The table is the piece of furniture that determines how a space works. A table that’s too large in a breakfast room reduces the number of covers available and forces guests to sit too close together. A side table that’s too low in the reception relax area isn’t comfortable enough to rest a glass on without bending down. An outdoor table without specific treatment against salt spray deteriorates within a single season. These are choices that affect the property’s daily operations and the guest’s perception, often without the manager ever connecting the problem back to the choice of furniture. We create bespoke tables and side tables for hotels in the dimensions, materials and finishes you need, for breakfast rooms, common areas, relax zones and outdoor spaces. They can be coordinated with the property’s chairs, sofas and armchairs in matching finishes. Delivery and installation are included worldwide.
Discover all types of tables and side tables for hotels
Square breakfast room table
The most flexible configuration for medium-sized breakfast rooms: a 70×70 cm square top, seating for four, legs in solid wood or painted metal. The square shape makes it easy to push several tables together to create seating for six or eight for group breakfasts, then separate them back into the standard configuration. Scratch-resistant top surface that withstands professional cleaning products. Available bespoke from 60×60 to 90×90 cm.
Rectangular breakfast room table
For breakfast rooms where you want to maximise covers per square metre: an 80×120 cm rectangular top for four, available up to 80×180 cm for six. Reinforced legs to bear the weight of full trays and daily intensive use. Scratch-resistant top or treated solid wood. Also suitable as an in-room breakfast table for suites with a dining corner.
Coffee table
For relax zones, lounges and waiting areas where sofas and armchairs need a surface within easy reach: 45-50 cm high, with a 60×60 cm top or a 60 cm diameter round top. Top in solid wood or scratch and stain-resistant ceramic. Can be coordinated with sofas and armchairs in matching finishes. Legs in solid wood or painted metal.
Outdoor table
For terraces, gardens and outdoor common areas: frame in painted aluminium or treated teak, top in technical material resistant to weathering, UV rays and salt spray for coastal properties. No seasonal cover required in normal Italian climate conditions. Available in a 70×70 cm square format and a 70×130 cm rectangular format, bespoke on request.
Multifunction extendable table
For properties that use the same spaces for breakfasts, meetings and small events: an extendable top from 90×160 cm up to 90×260 cm with a concealed centre leaf. Closed, it works as a table for four; open, it seats up to ten. Reinforced structure to bear the weight distributed along the full length, top in solid wood or scratch-resistant surface. Metal-runner opening mechanism that requires no tools.
Armchair side table
For suites, superior rooms and relax zones where the armchair needs a side surface without taking up floor space in front of it: a side table with a 35-40 cm diameter round top, single leg on a disc or star base, 55-60 cm high. Top in solid wood or ceramic. It sits alongside the armchair at any angle. Can be coordinated with all room and common area furniture finishes.
How to choose the right table dimensions for a breakfast room
The size of the tables in a breakfast room determines how many covers can be fitted into the available space, but also how comfortable guests feel during breakfast. These two goals are often in tension: more small tables give more covers but less space per guest, fewer large tables give fewer covers but a more comfortable experience.
The calculation we recommend during the site survey starts from the property’s number of rooms and average occupancy rate, not from the theoretical maximum number of guests at once. A property with thirty rooms rarely has every guest at breakfast in the same quarter of an hour: a realistic analysis almost always leads to smaller room dimensions than the manager originally had in mind.
The minimum space per person at the table that guarantees a comfortable experience is 60 cm of width per cover and 45 cm of depth for the plate. A 70×70 cm square table comfortably seats two, or four in an acceptable but not comfortable way. An 80×120 cm rectangular table is the right size for four covers with enough room for the breakfast tray. Below these measurements, the covers fit on paper, but the guest feels crowded.
Tables for hotels in common areas: function and space
A sofa without a coffee table in front of it is only half a sofa. The guest sits down, rests their glass on the armrest or holds it in their hand, and has nowhere to put their phone or newspaper. After ten minutes, they move elsewhere. The coffee table isn’t a decorative accessory: it’s the element that completes the relax zone and makes it genuinely usable.
The height of the coffee table must be proportioned to the seat height of the sofa or armchair it’s paired with. A sofa with a 42 cm seat works best with a table at 45-50 cm: the glass stays within reach without raising the arm. A table 35 cm high is too low for most contract sofas and forces guests to bend down to reach anything they’ve set on top.
The top of a coffee table for common areas has to be easy to clean and stain-resistant: coffee, fruit juice and glasses with liquid residue are set down and picked up dozens of times a day. Ceramic and treated solid wood are the most suitable materials in this setting: ceramic for maximum stain resistance, solid wood for visual consistency with the other wooden elements in the furnishings. Glass is aesthetically interesting but fragile in a high-use setting and hard to keep clean without smudges.
Outdoor tables for hotels: Italian materials and finishes
Outdoor tables for Italian hotels have to cope with very different environmental conditions depending on the property’s geographical location. A seaside hotel in Puglia exposes its tables to salt spray, high humidity and intense sun. A mountain hotel in Valle d’Aosta exposes its tables to frost, snow and temperature swings. A hotel in a northern Italian city exposes its tables to frequent rain and air pollution. No single material performs the same way in all these settings.
For coastal properties, painted aluminium with a specific treatment against salt corrosion is the most reliable material for load-bearing structures: it doesn’t rust, doesn’t warp and keeps its finish for years even in a marine environment. Teak is the most sought-after aesthetic choice for high-end hospitality: its natural density makes it resistant to humidity and insects without aggressive chemical treatments, and it ages by developing a grey patina that many properties find visually in keeping with a seaside setting.
For mountain properties, materials have to withstand the freeze-thaw cycle without cracking: untreated soft woods absorb water, freeze and split. Aluminium and teak withstand this cycle with no structural issues. Ceramic or composite tops are the most resilient choice for high-altitude use: they don’t absorb water, don’t crack with frost and clean easily after snow. The specific material is decided during the site survey, based on the property’s location and exposure.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make bespoke tables for breakfast rooms with unusual dimensions or shapes?
Yes. We make tables in any dimension and shape, including round, oval and rounded-corner tables. Dimensions are defined during the site survey based on the available space and the number of covers needed.
Are breakfast room tables resistant to professional cleaning products?
Yes. The scratch-resistant tops we use are specifically tested to withstand professional detergents. Solid wood tops are treated with products that stand up to frequent cleaning without deteriorating.
Do you make tables that coordinate with chairs you’ve already supplied?
Yes. We make tables in the same finishes as your existing chairs, so the room’s visual system stays consistent. If the chairs are from another supplier, we collect a sample of the finish during the site survey.
Does the extendable table for multifunction spaces bear weight along its full length when open?
Yes. The extendable structure is sized to bear the weight distributed along its full maximum length, including the weight of plates and trays. The extension mechanism runs on metal guides that don’t give way under load.
How long does it take to produce and deliver tables and side tables?
Production takes around 3-5 weeks from order confirmation. Delivery and installation are included worldwide and are arranged with the property to minimise operational disruption.
Do you make coffee tables that coordinate with sofas and armchairs from other suppliers?
Yes. If you provide a sample of the existing finish, we make the table in the closest available match among our 15 standard finishes or on a dedicated sample.
