Circulation pattern in the banquet/function hall are separated from the main hotel lobby to avoid the conflict in assisting accommodating guest. Also to avoid joining the accommodating guest from non hotel resident. In some cases there are group of hotel guest that arrived for a conference or a business activity or meeting (e.g. Team building, seminar, meetings). There are cases that upon arrival, they go directly to the designated function room before going into their designated/assigned room. So it is important to have a separate activity flow for this such kind of circulation to avoid traffic in user. Other cases that happen in the event hall are multiple inquiries of hotel non-resident, event guest or attendees. This will make conflict in prioritizing hotel guest to accommodate.
