Most double rooms in hotels have fairly good feng shui. Here is what I mean:
Your bed is almost always in command position, making you feel in-charge and able to relax in the room. There is a solid wall to your back and the bed is not usually in line with the door. The bed is diagonal from the doorway, but the one issue would be that you usually cannot see the door from the bed due to the obligatory hallway leading from the door to the main part of the room.
Beds typically have sturdy structures and headboards, providing support to the visitor. Extra pillows and comfortable sheets help provide ample opportunity for a good sleep.
The bathroom door is least conspicuous and does not usually open right by the bed, keeping the "yin" energy of bathrooms separate from the sleeping and relaxing area of the room.
Lighting should give multiple options for levels of brightness. Natural textures, materials and artwork also add to the ambiance. A sense of place should provide the visitor with a flavor for the location, be it a country, region, or city/town.
Double doors leading to a balcony for the best rooms provide a view of nature – a wonderful ocean view from this room!
And, of course, cleanliness, a sense of security and organization is of utmost importance!
As one definition of feng shui states, good feng shui describes how well we feel welcomed and supported while in the space. That is what hospitality is all about!
