GL Lewis Construction Services provides hotel, resort and motel renovation, build-out and design-build coordination for guestrooms, lobbies, restaurants, pools, event spaces, convention areas, building systems and occupied properties—from existing-condition and PIP review through permits, construction, inspections and guest-ready turnover.
Hotel Construction Planned Around Operations, Brand Standards and the Guest Experience
Every lodging property has different room standards, public amenities, food-service needs, operating constraints, durability expectations, accessibility requirements, brand criteria and inspection needs.
Guestrooms, reception, breakfast and market areas, fitness rooms, laundry, business areas and efficient operational spaces without extensive dining or convention programs.
Budget & Economy Hotels / Motels
Cost-conscious renovations focused on clean guestrooms and bathrooms, durable finishes, exterior access, lighting, signage, life safety, accessibility and dependable building systems.
Extended-Stay Hotels
Guest suites with kitchens or kitchenettes, larger living areas, storage, laundry, plumbing and electrical coordination, durable finishes and common areas for longer stays.
Boutique Hotels
Smaller independent or specialty properties—typically 10 to 100 rooms—with distinctive interiors, local character, custom millwork, specialty dining and personalized public spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hotel, Resort and Motel Renovation Questions
What hotel and resort construction services does GL Lewis provide?
Project-specific services may include preconstruction review, PIP coordination, design-build management, selective demolition, framing, guestrooms, corridors, lobby and reception, restaurants, bars, kitchens, pools and decks, meeting and convention areas, exterior work, roofing, MEP systems, fire protection, accessibility, permits, inspections and closeout.
Can a hotel remain open during renovation?
Some hotels can remain partially operational through carefully planned phasing. The plan must address guests, staff, exits, fire protection, temporary access, utilities, noise, dust, work hours, housekeeping interfaces and safe return of renovated areas to service.
Can GL Lewis work from a Property Improvement Plan or brand standard?
Yes. Available PIP and brand documents can be compared with existing conditions, owner priorities, code requirements, constructability, budget assumptions, procurement lead times, phasing and closeout requirements.
What should an owner provide for the first project review?
Useful information includes the property address, room count, hotel type, ownership or contract status, existing plans, PIP or brand documents, surveys, reports, photographs, operating constraints, target schedule and preliminary budget.
Will signed and sealed drawings be required?
Many hospitality renovations require signed and sealed documents. The jurisdiction, occupancy, project scope, structural work, building systems, fire protection, accessibility, food service and pool work determine the final requirements.
Can restaurants, bars and commercial kitchens be included?
Yes, when included in the approved project scope. Food-service work may require equipment schedules, exhaust, plumbing, electrical, grease-management, fire-suppression, health-review and licensing coordination.
