Mitigating impacts on operations and guest activities is crucial for a hotel remodel. Carefully planned to avoid peak occupancy, the team coordinated the renovation of 519 rooms on 14 floors directly with the operations staff to ensure Harveys Lake Tahoe’s main businesses - gaming and hospitality - continued uninterrupted by construction work. A full-time coordinator was stationed on the hotel’s service level to monitor operations and make schedule adjustments.
In each room, crews replaced all carpet, wall coverings, bathroom fixtures, millwork, toilet accessories, lighting, and furnishings. Behind the scenes, teams updated the mechanical systems with new fan coil units for each room, upgrading a portion of the existing chilled water system to expand capacity for new equipment.
The project start date preceded the COVID-19 pandemic by only a few months and work was in full swing when social distancing and hygiene mandates were enacted. The team staggered shifts, added full-time disinfecting labor, and followed strict health and safety guidelines to complete the project.
