property improvement plans (PIPs)
tailored approaches
for PIP success
Hotel property improvement plans are an inevitable part of being in the hotel business. They’re also an invaluable opportunity for hotel owners to gain an advantage over their competition, increase market share, and provide a better customer experience. Ramaker’s experts are prepared to help at every stage in the process, from negotiating and strategizing to developing final plans for construction and beyond, ensuring that renovations maximize ROI and continue to wow guests for years to come.
We take a relationship-oriented approach to hospitality projects—because great design requires close collaboration with clients and franchisors. Our valuable relationships allow us to create spaces that reflect our partners’ unique personalities and needs while adhering to brand standards. From small hotels to resorts with conference centers, our architects, engineers, and interior designers have the experience to navigate PIP projects of all scopes and sizes.
