This contract included the renovation of 35 rooms, 5 suites and the L’Atelier, as well as replacing the carpets in the Grand Hall. VOGLAUER HOTEL CONCEPT was hired as general contractor for the completion of the interior. Challenges included the different floor plans related to the pre-World War II construction, as well as the stucco ceilings in the suites. The completion of the project had to be done while the hotel was operating with a minimum level of noise. The time frame was extremely tight due to the upcoming jazz festival, but the deadline was met with complete reliability.
