Hotel, Motel & Accommodation Signage Melbourne
Guests often arrive tired, after dark and in an unfamiliar area. Good signage gets them off the road, to reception and to their room without a phone call. DSS designs, makes and installs signs for hotels, motels, serviced apartments and holiday parks across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.
Roadside and entry signs that work at night
For a motel on a highway, the roadside sign is the shopfront. An illuminated pylon sign at the driveway can carry your name, a lit vacancy panel and other details. Where a pylon will not fit, a blade sign or lit light box on the building can do the job.
At the entrance, 3D letters, lit or non-lit, mark the building and the way in. Our illuminated signs page compares the lighting options.
Reception, lobby and directories
Reception is the first close-up look at your brand. A 3D logo wall, like our reception signs, makes a clear welcome. Directories near the lifts or stairs show which floor has the restaurant, pool, gym or conference rooms.
Wayfinding around the property
- Car park signs: guest parking, check-in bays, height limits and exits.
- Building and block signs for larger motels and apartment complexes.
- Amenity signs for the pool, laundry, barbecue area, restaurant and bar.
- Corridor signs showing room number ranges at each turn.
Room numbers and door signs
Room numbers get touched, cleaned and knocked by luggage every day. We make them in durable materials: Acrylic in 3, 6, 10, 20 or 30 mm; foam board in 10 or 20 mm; aluminium or stainless steel, usually 0.6 mm; and 3 mm aluminium composite panel (ACM). Signs can be designed with replaceable inserts so you can update names without replacing every sign.
If a project needs tactile or braille signs, or particular accessibility or egress signage, tell us what has been specified by your building surveyor or designer so we can confirm what we can supply.
Window and wall graphics
Window film for the office, frosting for privacy and graphics for the restaurant or bar are covered by our window signage service. Larger wall prints come from our large format printing team.
Installing around guests
We do our own installation. Tell us your quiet periods and any areas that must stay open, and we will plan around them. Owner or landlord consent and any council permits are arranged with you before we start.
