• Room and Bathroom Upgrades

• Corridor Refurbishments

• Leisure facilities including Spas

• Restaurant and Bar fit outs

• Conference facility upgrades

Our clients have included internationally-renowned hotels such as Gleneagles and chains including the Marriott, Waldorf Astoria, Crowne Plaza and the Holiday Inn.

QUALITY DELIVERY

Through our work with leading brands and their professional teams, we understand the importance of delivering projects fully in line with hotel brand & design guides. We are here to help the hotel deliver a welcoming, attractive brand and environment which will attract customers. Our quality processes ensure that work is reviewed at all stages through design, fabrication and install. A successfully delivered project which has delivered on budget, programme and with minimal impact on the hotel operations should not be compromised by postcompletion issues.

ZERO IMPACT ON OPERATIONS

We are conscious of the effect ongoing works can have on a hotel’s operation whether this relates to occupancy rates or the experience of guests during the works. Pacific’s approach is two fold. Firstly, working with the hotel and their team, we will develop a programme of works incorporating fast track delivery/ phasing to minimise impact on hotel operations. Secondly, construction operations will be physically segregated, delivered during agreed periods and with zero noise/ dust impact. Our Project Managers will be available to Hotel Management throughout the works whether it is to discuss planning, operational aspects or timing of the works.
