Hotels
and Restaurants are built for the public as a business
centre where people come and stay temporarily for some
time and after having rest, meals, etc. proceed on for
their destination. Thus the benefits of hotel and
restaurant are two folds - to the customers restaurants
for good and delicious food, and for decent comfortable
stay as 'paying guest'. The better this arrangement, the
more is the popularity and fame of the hotel or
restaurant in the country and outside. It is possible
only when the construction of hotels and restaurants is
done according to the principles of Vastu Shastra.
Surely then these will be beneficial and profitable to
the customers (Travelers) and the concerned people.
The
following important facts must be kept in mind while
establishing and running a hotel/restaurant business so
as to make it progressive and profitable.
(1)
The building should be constructed on a plot having
rectangular, square, circular, Bhadrasanakar,
quadrangular, hexagonal, octagonal, singhmukhakar shape.
This gives all round profits.
(2) If
there are roads on all the four sides or on the north
and east, it is auspicious and beneficial.
(3)
Slope of the land should be towards the north-east.
(4)
Building should be constructed in such a way that the
north and east portion remains mostly open.
(5)
Furnace, burner (Chulha), electric transformer, gas room
and kitchen should be kept in the south-east portion.
(6)
Rooms for the stay of travelers (Customers) should be
constructed in the south-west.
(7)
Dining hall and restaurant in the west in always
auspicious.
(8)
Swimming pool, underground water tank, wells, bore-well
etc. should be constructed in the north-east where only
these are auspicious; overhead water tank should always
be in the south west.
(9)
Large open ground, lawn, and space for organising
conferences etc. in open should be maintained.
(10)
Arrangements in the rooms for stay of travelers should
be made in such a way that the beds are in south or west
portion and the person may sleep with feet towards north
or west only.
(11) T.V. and Telephone be kept on right and left side of the
bed.
(12)
Attached toilet should be provided in the north-west or
between the south and south-west corner. Bath room in
the east or north or west only.
(13)
Store for raw materials required for the hotel and
cloak-room (for the bag and baggages of the customers)
should be there in the north.
(14)
Main door should be singhmukhi and it should be built in
proper according to Vaastu-rules by dividing the length
of the side in nine parts.
(15)
Permanent store should be kept in south-west so that
this corner is always heavy.
Hotel
complex
After the site is
selected, taking into consideration,levels, roads and
angles etc., one has to plan the open spaces for lawns
and car parking. While cellar could be designed for car
parking, for kitchen stores and for servant stay etc.,
the ground floor could be used for reception,and
restaurant. As the area required for kitchen has to be
sufficiently big, with light and ventilation, it is better that kitchen is
planned on ground floor earmarking complete south-east
portion for ovens, grinders and vegetable cutting etc.
On first
floor they could plan conference halls, and more
restaurant area if necessary and the upper floors could
be used for rooms. Care has to be taken that the
balconies are provided in east or north. The toilets
should be avoided in
north-east side of the rooms. Store rooms with huge
stocks should be in south or west, or south-west.
Air-conditioning Plant:
A.C.
equipment is to be kept in south-east of the complex and there from it is to be
operated. It should never be installed in north-east
under any circumstances.
Electrical Generators and
Transformers: These
are to be installed in south-east direction.
Wash Basins: It
is not advisable to keep wash basins in the centre of
halls even for convenience sake. Wash basins are to be
arranged in north or east or north-east of halls.
Main Entrances of Restaurants:
It
is better to have main entrance in east or north or
north-east directions. If it is to be kept in west
direction, it should be towards north-west but not in
south- west under any circumstances. If it is forced to
keep main entrance in south, it advisable to keep it in
south-east rather than south -west.
Mezzanine Floor: Mezzanine
floor in any hall have to be
provided along west or south walls.
Cash Counter and Reception:
These
may be provided in south-west with elevated platforms
but if it is provided in
north-west or other places the floor level should not be
higher than south-west.

pools, water ponds, fountains, borewells, and sumps
etc.; have to be planned in north or east and north
east.
