Request holiday lighting for Hotels & Resorts
Share the property, working budget, address, and holiday result you want. HLI will review the site details and follow up with the right next step.
Commercial projects begin at $3,000. HLI confirms the final scope and pricing after reviewing the property.
Hospitality portfolio detail
The lobby needs a complete composition, not a collection of props
Trees, framed greenery, flowers, ornaments, and the room's permanent finishes can work as one visual system that feels intentional from check-in through every guest-facing space.
Sculptural floral décor and framed greenery composed for a luxury hotel lobby.
Property-specific planning
Hospitality décor has to perform all day, from every viewing distance
Guests may encounter the property from a vehicle, valet lane, lobby, elevator landing, restaurant, terrace, ballroom, and social photo before they reach a room. A strong program establishes one visual story and then adjusts scale, finish, brightness, and density for each environment.
The operational plan is equally detailed. Engineering, valet, bell, front office, security, housekeeping, banquets, food and beverage, and marketing can all be affected by installation or service. HLI uses one project lead and a documented sequence to keep those handoffs manageable.
One property, one complete program
Create a connected experience from the first arrival to the final focal point

Restaurants, ballrooms, and activations
Holiday décor can support dining, weddings, corporate events, and seasonal packages when banquet resets, fire-life-safety paths, and photo use are considered.
Beautiful through the full season
Keep the property moving and the display looking its best
HLI coordinates design, installation, in-season service, removal, and storage as one complete program, with the property schedule considered from the beginning.
Keep the hotel operating 24/7
Work is phased around occupancy, arrivals, valet peaks, quiet hours, ballroom schedules, restaurant service, loading dock rules, and guest recovery plans.
Match the property's service level
Visible mechanics, cords, bases, ties, and unfinished backs are minimized because guests encounter hospitality décor at close range and from multiple floors.
Coordinate departments before install
Engineering confirms power and attachment; operations confirms access; marketing confirms story and photography; events confirms blackout dates and room turns.
Make maintenance discreet
Service access and responsible contacts are documented so an issue can be corrected without an improvised visit through occupied guest areas.

Hotels & Resorts questions
What to know before you request a quote
01Can HLI install while the hotel remains open?
Yes, with an approved phasing plan. Provide occupancy patterns, loading rules, valet and bell peaks, quiet hours, events, guest detours, and the hotel's permit-to-work requirements.
02Can the holiday design extend into restaurants and event spaces?
Those areas can be included when food-and-beverage operations, room turns, fire-life-safety paths, event dates, and storage are coordinated with the main program.
03Who handles a lighting issue during a sold-out weekend?
HLI includes in-season support. The hotel identifies an authorized operations or engineering contact, acceptable service windows, access credentials, and guest-impact rules in advance.
04Can décor be refreshed instead of replaced next season?
Yes. A well-documented base program can return while ornaments, floral, color, focal pieces, or selected zones evolve to support the next marketing direction.
