Textured ceilings probably help hide things, but why the lines?

    It’s not a suspended ceiling, it’s a concrete slab. It’s probably a prestressed concrete slab and the lines are the individual panels. It could be poured in place but I doubt it as that would require a ton of form work and be very slow and expensive.

      A drop ceiling would have a little metal frame that the panel sits in.

        Drop ceiling tiles are so fragile and ugly. Very laborious to install. Guests would do stupid things, like lift them up to snoop and put tuna cans up there and other nefarious stuff. The stack of tiles needed to outfit a hotel would be massive. To think drop ceilings are used in hotels defies logic.
