The calendar

Twelve months, five stages

  1. During the season: goals and surveyWhich category do you want to reach? Which rooms earn least? The survey is done with the hotel open.
  2. End of season: design and quoteDesign, renders and a fixed-price quote, with a schedule up to reopening.
  3. Before closing: permits and ordersBuilding permits, any fire safety paperwork and orders for furniture and long-lead materials.
  4. Closure: siteCrews in parallel on floors or batches of rooms, with a manager always present.
  5. Before reopening: set-up and marketingFurniture installation, cleaning, photos and video of the new rooms, website and listings updated.
Practical advice

Mistakes to avoid

01

Ordering furniture late

Production times are the bottleneck: order before closing.

02

Separate suppliers

Building, systems, furniture and fire doors under different contracts: nobody answers for others’ delays.

03

Forgetting regulations

Fire safety, accessibility and acoustics must be in the design, not at the end.

04

Reopening with old photos

The new rooms must be online before reopening to raise the average rate.

05

Unsuitable materials

Contract use needs materials that withstand intensive use and are easy to clean.

06

No plan B

A schedule with margins and batches lets you reopen even if one floor takes longer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can you renovate with the hotel open?

Yes, by batches of rooms or floors, separating routes and concentrating noisy work at agreed times.

How far ahead should design start?

Ideally during the previous season, so orders and permits are ready when closing begins.
