I love the idea of atria; an outdoor space inside an indoor space. I live in a desert area in Southern California so an atrium could be possible, and a covered one most ideal.
And since I put each floor on its own file I've been able put so much in ( think the potted lavender is probably really big), that now I can't take rendered pictures, again!
I've taken screenshots of the main floor to give you an idea, and I'll try putting each room into a separate file in order to take pictures.I've also changed the lobby area a little by extending the backboard and having it curve around. Oh, and I've added more plants to divide the spaces, as you can see below. I was thinking that the divider could also be used as storage for things like extra salt and pepper shakers, silverware, maybe tablecloths and placemats, that sort of thing.
As you can see, I've put in swinging restaurant kitchen doors, instead of basic double doors, to the kitchen. I figured that it was better for a business.
I've added salt and pepper shakers and syrup dispensers to the tables in the atrium, as well as the swinging doors. the narrow windows placed high up are to the public bathrooms, each window well above each stall (I'll get to their pictures last).
Here's the kitchen, the first picture taken from the door to the main dining area, the second from the doors to the atrium area and the break room. As I've never physically been inside a commercial kitchen I had to use my imagination (and what I've been able to see on television). I've put in two of just about everything; two double ovens, two stoves, two sinks, two dishwashers, two refrigerators. I think I've put in enough preparation space, as well as a place to put counter space for pick up by the wait staff.
Here's the Break Room (also the Living Room for the person/people living on the property). First picture is taken from the door to the kitchen, the second is taken from the door to the laundry storage room. You can see in the first picture the door that staff use to enter the inn; it's also the live-in's front door, as well as the door deliveries are made, mail is delivered to, that sort of thing. The hallway to the live-in's bedroom and the bathroom are visible in the second picture.

Live-in's Bedroom. The first picture is taken from the door to the hallway, the second is taken from in front of the closet. I was able to put a queen size bed in there; plenty of room for a couple. I don't think I'd be able to put in two single beds though.
The bathroom for the staff and live-in(s). You can see the toilet stall on the left, the door to the shower area in the middle, and the door to the linen closet on the right.
Shower area. There's actually enough room for a person to be standing outside of the shower to dry off. I think a fan on the ceiling would be very wise in this room as I can't put a window in there.
The Hallway to the Public Bathrooms, taken from the door to the Staff Only area, looking to the Lobby area. Each of the public bathrooms are marked, and the last door is to the Check-In desk area. I need to find a sign that says "Staff Only" on it to put on the door behind the virtual visitor and to the Check-In area.
Now, for the Public Bathrooms. It's hard to tell from the pictures but the first one is the Men's Bathroom and the second is (of course) the Women's Bathroom.
