Development Services

Vision to Reality: Comprehensive Hospitality Development

Since our inception in 1987 with the development of the Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Holland, Michigan, Hospitality Specialists, Inc. has been at the forefront of hotel construction and renovation. We provide a seamless, turnkey development process that bridges the gap between architectural concepts and operational excellence.

FF&E & OS&E Procurement Excellence

We offer extensive expertise in quantifying, contracting, expediting, and installing Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E). Our procurement lifecycle covers every square inch of the property:

  • Guest Centric: Guestrooms, public areas, and lobby environments.

  • Back-of-House: Industrial laundries, commercial kitchens, and office equipment.

  • Signage & Branding: Comprehensive interior and exterior signage packages.

  • Operating Supplies (OS&E): Linens, sundry shops, and essential daily operating supplies.

Whether your project requires a franchisor’s pre-selected décor package or a fully custom design, our team ensures every element is received, warehoused, and installed with precision.

Integrated Technology & Pre-Opening Systems

For over 40 years, Hospitality Specialists, Inc. has specialized in the critical "Digital Infrastructure" phase of hotel openings. We analyze and negotiate system contracts to ensure your property is equipped with the best-in-class technology, followed by rigorous staff training.

Our systems expertise includes:

  • Communications: Phone services, equipment, and complex data/coax cabling.

  • Security: State-of-the-art electronic locking systems.

  • Guest Experience: High-definition "Free-to-Guest" television and high-speed wireless internet.

  • Operations: Selection and implementation of property-specific Property Management Systems (PMS).

Renovations & Capital Improvements

Beyond new builds, we serve as a vital partner for owners facing Property Improvement Plans (PIPs) or strategic renovations. Our "Ownership Lens" ensures that renovations are handled with minimal displacement and maximum impact on the asset's long-term value.

The HSI Advantage

Our development team doesn't just build hotels; we build profitable business environments. By handling the complexities of procurement and technology, we allow owners to focus on the big picture while we manage the details on the ground.
