Mindfulness and Biophilic Design

The study examines the interplay between mindfulness and biophilic design, as well as their combined impact on the well-being, emotional relaxation, stress reduction, and physical health of hotel guests. Employing convenience sampling through Amazon MTurk, data were collected from 477 adults in the United States over the course of one week in March 2024. The findings reveal significant relationships: mindfulness considerably enhances perceptions of biophilic design, biophilic design positively influences both well-being and emotional relaxation, and these factors, in turn, increase the perceived value of the hotel experience. Furthermore, biophilic design contributes to stress reduction and physical health, thereby enriching the overall guest experience. The research underscores the potential for integrating mindfulness and biophilic design to cultivate a more holistic and valuable hotel environment. This study contributes to the expanding body of literature by empirically demonstrating the interconnected roles of mindfulness and biophilic design in enhancing guests' well-being, facilitating emotional relaxation, reducing stress, and improving physical health, ultimately enriching the perceived value of the hotel experience.
