Meet Coral: A Squarespace Framework Designed for Restaurants and Hotels with Taste
Some places stay with you long after you leave.
The restaurant you recommend before someone has even asked. The hotel you’re already planning to return to. The table, the view, the atmosphere, the plate you immediately reach for your phone to photograph.
Great hospitality is about creating an experience people remember.
And your website should be part of it.
Meet Coral, our brand-new Squarespace Framework created for contemporary restaurants, boutique hotels and hospitality brands that want their online presence to feel every bit as distinctive as the experience they offer.
Stylish, playful and packed with personality, Coral combines premium design with unexpected details to create a website that catches attention, builds anticipation and makes people want to experience your brand for themselves.
A restaurant and hotel website with plenty of personality
Hospitality websites can easily fall into familiar territory.
Beautiful photography. Neutral colours. Elegant type. Lots of white space.
There’s nothing wrong with that. We simply wanted Coral to have a little more flavour.
Inspired by the rich, warm tones of the coral gemstone, the framework pairs vibrant coral shades with refreshing blues to create a colour palette that feels contemporary, confident and full of life.
Typography brings another layer of personality. Stylish, editorial typefaces give the design its premium edge, while playful details stop everything from feeling too polished or predictable.
And then there’s the photography.
Fish swim beyond their sections. Lobsters, prawns and seafood appear as playful cut-outs. Images overlap, move beyond the grid and become part of the design itself.
The result is a website that feels elevated without becoming serious.
Premium with a pinch of fun.
Designed to give people a taste of the experience
Before someone books a table or chooses where to stay, they’re already forming an impression.
They want to see the food. Explore the rooms. Understand the atmosphere. Get a feel for the location. And, perhaps most importantly, imagine themselves there.
Coral has been designed around that journey.
Large-scale photography gives your brand plenty of room to make an impression, while carefully considered layouts guide visitors through the details that help them make a decision.
Your story, menu, spaces and experience become part of one cohesive digital world.
Rather than simply telling visitors what you offer, Coral helps them feel what it might be like to experience it.
Photography that becomes part of the design
Hospitality brands often have incredible photography. Coral gives those images the space they deserve.
Instead of keeping every photograph neatly contained inside a traditional grid, imagery becomes a playful design element in its own right.
Full-width photographs create atmosphere. Cropped details add intrigue. Cut-out seafood illustrations and imagery can escape their sections and appear to swim across the page.
It creates movement and personality without losing the refined aesthetic at the heart of the framework.
For restaurants, this gives you the opportunity to showcase dishes, ingredients, interiors and the people behind them.
For hotels, the same approach can bring together rooms, food, architecture, surroundings and those smaller details that make a stay memorable.
Because sometimes the quickest way to make someone want to visit is simply to show them what they’re missing.
Contemporary design without the predictable luxury aesthetic
Premium doesn’t have to mean beige.
Coral takes inspiration from some of our favourite contemporary restaurants and boutique hotels, where thoughtful design and playful creativity happily exist side by side.
The framework balances strong typography, editorial layouts and considered spacing with unexpected colour combinations and expressive imagery.
That contrast is what gives Coral its personality.
Sophisticated enough to communicate quality. Creative enough to stand apart. Playful enough to feel memorable.
It’s designed for hospitality brands that care deeply about aesthetics and want their website to reflect the same attention to detail they put into their physical space.
Make discovering your restaurant feel effortless
A beautiful restaurant website still has an important job to do.
People need to know what you serve, where you are, when you’re open and how they can book.
Coral gives you a stylish framework for bringing all of that information together without allowing the practical details to take over the experience.
Menus can become part of the visual story rather than an afterthought. Clear calls to action make reservations simple. Location and opening information can be easy to find without disrupting the design.
The result is a website that builds excitement while helping visitors quickly take the next step.
See the food. Feel the atmosphere. Check the menu. Book the table.
Simple.
Create anticipation before guests even arrive
For hotels, the experience begins long before check-in.
Your website is often where a future guest first explores the rooms, discovers the restaurant, learns about the neighbourhood and starts imagining what their stay could look like.
Coral gives boutique hotels and contemporary hospitality brands a visual foundation for telling that story.
Beautiful imagery can introduce the atmosphere of the property, while dedicated content sections give you space to showcase rooms, dining, amenities, experiences and your surroundings.
Strategic calls to action can then guide visitors towards checking availability or making an enquiry.
It creates a clear journey from “this looks interesting” to “I want to stay here.”
Built to make your brand the main attraction
Coral might begin with its own distinctive personality, but the finished website is designed to feel like yours.
We’ll personalise the framework with your branding, photography, colours, typography and written content, shaping the design around the character of your restaurant, hotel or hospitality brand.
And because the framework is built on Squarespace, managing your website remains simple once it’s yours.
Update menus. Change seasonal photography. Publish news. Refresh information. Keep your website evolving alongside your business.
You’ll have a polished digital home without needing to call a developer every time something changes.
Meet Coral
Coral is for the places doing hospitality a little differently.
The neighbourhood restaurant everyone wants a table at. The seafood spot that takes its ingredients seriously without taking itself too seriously. The boutique hotel people discover online and immediately send to the group chat.
The hospitality brands where every detail has been considered — from what’s on the plate to what’s playing in the background.
Your website deserves that same attention.
Contemporary without feeling cold. Premium without feeling predictable. Playful without losing sophistication. Coral brings all three together in one distinctive Squarespace Framework designed to turn your digital presence into an extension of the experience you’ve created in real life.
And we can’t wait to see the restaurants, hotels and hospitality brands that make it their own.
Ready to make Coral your own?
If you’re a restaurant, boutique hotel or hospitality brand looking for a website that feels as considered as the experience you offer, Coral is ready to become yours.
