One of the great things about time is that sooner or later, it is time to update the day to day wear and tear that “Father Time” has bestowed upon everything under the sun. The hotel and hospitality industry is no different. In this article we will touch on the many facets of the hotel and hospitality industry that need to be addressed when it comes to these aging hotels, motels, inns, bed and breakfast, as well as luxury resorts and convention centers.

In 2018, many hotels located throughout the United States, and built decades ago, are ready for such an update. Over the years, these hospitality structures have had millions of visitors and that traffic has taken a hefty toll on their appearance and functionality. In the coming years, the need for competent service companies that specialize in hotel renovation will be at peak demand.

Not only have these older hotels been worn down by the constant foot traffic of its inhabitants, but technology is ever changing and they need to be brought up to the current standards in terms of Wifi, energy efficient heating, cooling, lighting and refrigeration, but also in terms of layout, decor and a million other areas.

Gerlo-Design specializes in hospitality remodeling and restoration and is an industry leader in bringing these older hotels up to speed and making them look brand new again; rather than dinosaurs.

One of the challenges of hotel remodeling is not only delivering a beautiful finished product to the client, but doing so on time and on budget. One of the often forgotten aspects of hotel restoration is that the client must still stay in business.

Rooms that are not under construction updates must remain open to business as does the entire rest of the hotel or structure. Thus the challenge of Gerlo-Design. We must deliver a gorgeous finished product but also safely keep clear of the day to day operations of the facility while allowing guests to carry on like business as usual.

This last point illustrates why it is so vital to contract with an experienced and professional team that has perfected their process. In the coming year, and due to the vast demand for hotels to be updated, firms will emerge from out of the woodwork, as “experts” in the field of renovation and hotel construction just to make a quick buck or two.

We want to caution those hotel holding companies and subsidiaries as to the dangers of hiring just any firm to take on this most important task for you. We highly recommend that you do your homework and find the best local or national firm that has experience in the many elements of hotel renovations.

Please feel free to contact us any time with questions or concerns about your own project and we will be glad to help you or direct you to the right person within our organization.

After all, we want to see the hotel industry thriving and making sure that all hotels are updates, clean and modern is our chief mission.

Update: Since this post, the CSP Inc., which we referenced above has expanded nationwide. Due to the demand we wrote about and continue to see throughout this industry, more and more companies like this are moving into divisions that provide a more niche oriented service such as hotel painting, renovations, remodeling and FF&E. This is precisely the type of service that mainly main stream hotel chains are looking for as the demand for there services grows.
