Movable Walls for Hotels
& Hospitality Venues
Adaptable banqueting suites, function rooms and meeting facilities that combine premium aesthetics with high acoustic performance for hotels and hospitality.
Overview
How ModernGlide Systems Are Used in Hotels
Hotels rely on their conference and banqueting facilities to generate significant revenue. The ability to divide a large ballroom or function suite into smaller meeting rooms, or to combine smaller rooms into a single large event space, is essential to maximising yield from these facilities. ModernGlide operable wall systems give hotels the flexibility to accommodate events of any size.
Hotel movable wall systems must combine high acoustic performance with premium aesthetics. Our systems are available in a wide range of finishes including fabric-covered panels, timber veneers and painted surfaces, ensuring that the partitions complement the interior design of even the most prestigious hotel environments. Electric operation ensures smooth, effortless movement of large, heavy panels.
A hotel's ability to offer flexible event spaces is a significant competitive advantage. Movable wall systems allow the same venue to host a small boardroom meeting in the morning and a large gala dinner in the evening, without any structural changes and with minimal staff effort to reconfigure.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from hotel architects, interior designers and project managers specifying movable walls for hotels and hospitality venues.
What movable wall systems are most suitable for hotel ballrooms?
The MG100 movable acoustic wall is the most widely specified system for hotel ballrooms and banqueting suites. It achieves Rw up to 59 dB and is available in premium fabric, timber veneer and painted finishes. For large, heavy panels, the MG100E fully electric system provides motorised operation at the touch of a button.
Can hotel movable walls be finished to match the interior design?
Yes. ModernGlide movable wall panels are available in a comprehensive range of finishes including fabric upholstery in any fabric or colour, timber veneer, painted MDF and high-pressure laminate. Custom finishes can be specified to match existing hotel interior design schemes. Panels can also incorporate decorative mouldings, integrated lighting and other bespoke details.
What acoustic performance is required for hotel function rooms?
For hotel function rooms hosting simultaneous events, an Rw rating of 50 to 59 dB is typically required. The MG100 at Rw 59 dB provides complete acoustic separation, ensuring that guests at a wedding reception are not disturbed by a conference in the adjacent room. For hotel meeting rooms with lower acoustic requirements, systems rated Rw 38 to 45 dB may be sufficient.
How do electric movable walls work in hotels?
The MG100E fully electric movable wall uses an integrated electric drive mechanism within each panel. At the touch of a button, panels travel along the ceiling track and seal into position automatically. The system can be controlled by a wall switch or remote control. This is ideal for hotels where staff changes frequently and consistent, reliable operation is essential.
Can hotel movable walls incorporate a pass door?
Yes. An integrated pass door can be incorporated into one of the movable wall panels, allowing staff and guests to move between divided spaces without opening the full partition. Pass doors can be specified with a range of hardware finishes to complement the hotel interior.
How are hotel movable walls maintained?
ModernGlide recommends an annual service inspection for all movable wall systems. This includes checking the track mechanism, panel seals, locking hardware and acoustic performance. A service contract can be arranged at the time of installation. Regular maintenance ensures consistent acoustic performance and extends the operational life of the system.
What is the maximum panel size for a hotel movable wall?
Panel sizes vary by system. The MG100 can accommodate panels up to 1200 mm wide and heights of up to 6 metres, depending on the configuration. For very large hotel ballrooms, multiple panels are used to span the full opening. Maximum dimensions must be confirmed at the design stage based on the structural ceiling and loading constraints.
Are hotel movable walls suitable for restaurants and bars?
Yes. Glazed movable wall systems such as the MG500 and MG600 are widely used in hotel restaurants and bars to create flexible dining areas. They allow the space to be opened up for large events or divided for smaller, more intimate settings. Solid acoustic systems can also be used where complete sound separation is required between a restaurant and an adjacent function room.
