Renovation of 505 guestrooms in a fully occupied hotel in an aggressive six months.
Sunstone Hotel Investors engaged Impetus (formerly Palmisano) as the Design-Build contractor to lead the renovation of the J.W. Marriott on Canal Street in New Orleans. This scope included renovating 505 guestrooms while the hotel remained occupied. Scheduling required a phased approach and LEAN systems in order to complete the 220,000-square-foot renovation within a rigorous six-month schedule.
Additional work included updates to restrooms in five suites as well as converting an out-of-service spa into additional meeting space. The project features new finishes, wall covering, window fixtures, hardware, flooring, and tub-to-shower conversion. Completed in 2018 in partnership with Looney & Associates, Impetus also delivered a turnkey package for FF&E material, including warehousing and installation.
