How You Can Upgrade Your Hotel With a Pergola

SummerHouse Outdoor Structures • November 27, 2025

When it comes to researching and finally choosing a hotel, guests today crave more than just a nice room. They're looking for unique experiences, places to enjoy the outdoors, and Instagram-worthy spots to capture memories.

If your hotel has underutilized outdoor space, such as a courtyard that nobody sits in, a pool area that feels a bit basic, or empty lawn space, a commercial pergola can transform those areas into destinations that set your property apart. Our SummerHouse Outdoor Structures team is here to help you see the benefits of adding a commercial outdoor pergola to your hotel.

Create Functional Outdoor Spaces

A hotel pergola transforms bare outdoor areas into usable spaces that guests actually want to spend time in. Install one over your pool deck, and suddenly you have a shaded lounge area where guests can escape the midday sun without having to retreat to their rooms. Put one in a courtyard, and you've created an outdoor workspace for leisure travelers or a spot for couples to enjoy morning coffee.

Hotels in warmer climates especially benefit from commercial outdoor pergolas because they provide shade while keeping the space open and airy. Unlike solid roof structures, pergolas allow for air circulation, keeping the area comfortable even on the hottest days.

Boost Your Property's Appeal

First impressions matter in hospitality. A well-placed pergola adds architectural interest to your property and creates focal points that make your hotel more memorable. These outdoor structures also photograph well, which means guests are likely to post them on social media, resulting in free marketing for your property.

Commercial pergolas also increase your property's perceived value. Guests notice when hotels invest in quality outdoor amenities, and they're willing to pay more for properties that offer these experiences.

Expand Your Event Capabilities

Looking to attract more wedding and event bookings? A commercial pergola gives you a built-in ceremony or reception venue. Add string lights, some elegant draping, and you have a ready-made event space that requires minimal setup. Hotels that can host outdoor events tap into a profitable revenue stream, and a pergola positioned near your building makes it easy for catering staff to access the space.

Additionally, corporate groups also appreciate outdoor meeting areas. A pergola with comfortable seating and good Wi-Fi gives them an alternative to stuffy conference rooms.
