Hotel Construction & Renovation FAQs
How much does it cost to build a hotel in Atlanta?
Hotel construction costs vary significantly based on property type, location, and brand standards. Limited-service hotel construction (like Hampton Inn) typically costs $100,000-$150,000 per room, while select-service hotels cost $150,000-$200,000+ per room. Full-service hotels can cost more than $250,000 per key. Our hotel construction company provides detailed cost estimates specific to your project during the initial consultation.
What is the cost per room for hotel renovation?
Hotel renovation costs per room typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 for guest room refreshes, depending on the scope. A basic "soft goods" renovation (carpet, paint, bedding, window treatments) might cost $8,000 to $12,000 per room. Full renovations, including bathroom updates, case good replacements, and hard-surface flooring, cost $15,000-$25,000+ per room.
Hotel lobby renovations and common area updates are priced separately. Our hotel renovation contractors provide detailed per-room estimates based on your specific scope.
How long does hotel construction take?
New limited-service hotel construction typically takes 12-18 months from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy. Select-service hotels with additional amenities take 15-20 months. Timeline factors include:
- Site work and foundation (2-4 months)
- Structural and envelope (4-8 months)
- MEP and interior finishes (4-6 months)
- FF&E installation and punch list (1-2 months)
Can you renovate a hotel while it remains open?
Yes! Phased hotel renovation is our specialty. Our hotel renovation contractors use floor-by-floor or wing-by-wing phasing, allowing you to maintain occupancy during construction. We typically renovate 20-30 rooms at a time, using sound-control measures and scheduling work to minimize guest disruption.
Phased renovations take longer than full closures but protect your revenue stream, critical for hotel owners who can't afford extended closures. We develop custom phasing plans based on your occupancy patterns and operational requirements.
What is a limited-service hotel?
A limited-service hotel typically offers guest rooms and basic amenities (continental breakfast, fitness center, pool) without full restaurant service or extensive meeting space. Examples include Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Fairfield Inn. Limited-service hotels have lower construction costs than full-service properties and are popular for suburban and highway locations.
Our hotel construction company specializes in limited-service hotel construction, understanding the operational efficiency and brand requirements these properties demand.
What is adaptive reuse in hotel construction?
Adaptive reuse converts existing buildings (often historic properties or underutilized commercial buildings) into hotels. Atlanta's Midtown area features several successful adaptive reuse hotel projects. This approach can reduce construction costs compared to ground-up development while creating distinctive boutique hotel properties.
Our hotel construction company has experience with adaptive reuse projects, navigating historic preservation requirements and converting existing structures into functional hospitality properties.
