It's a great time to plan an upgrade to your hotel, or to develop a new property. Low interest rates, a rising economy, and a healthy outlook for travel signal good times ahead. Now, owners and operators have a one-stop resource, HFS, to help them design, equip, and finance any renovation or addition.

Last April, HFS opened a unique showroom, not far from the Las Vegas Strip, to highlight its design, procurement, and technology capabilities for the hotel industry. Centerpiece of the showroom is 12 fully appointed model guestrooms designed by their on-staff interior design group. The rooms vary in both design styles and price points and hoteliers can buy or finance for as little as pennies per day.

However, HFS is more than a showroom. The firm has a wide range of hospitality-specific capabilities in several divisions:

• Concepts 4, an affiliate company, is one of the industry's largest and most successful architecture and interior design firms. The division, based in Long Beach, California includes among its clients brands such as Westin, Hilton, Marriott, Marriott Vacation Club International, and Embassy Suites. Concepts 4 has done work for owners and developers throughout the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and Asia.

• Hospitality Goods offers strategic sourcing, importing, and procurement of a wide variety of hospitality-related FF&E. Its procurement capabilities include furniture, artwork, and electronics. The company also manufactures high-quality hotel casegoods at its facilities in Asia.

  Divisional offices are located in the U.S., China, and Taiwan. Within the next year, HFS will open regional offices in Latin America and Europe.

• HFS offers complete FF&E financing that enables hoteliers to renovate their properties now and amortize the costs over the life of the renovation.

• HFS is also an excellent source for hotel technology. HFS Technology features Tomorrow's In-Room Technology Today by offering unique solutions through partnerships with a number of best-in-breed technology firms. HFS Technology offers a wide range of solutions for hotel properties - high-speed internet access, voiceover IP, and more. For example, the basic bundled package features a 27" LCD HDTV, Computer, Video-on-Demand, WiFi and Wired Broadband Access, Long Distance Discounted Packages, and a percentage of the revenue from Video-on-Demand for $2.99 per room per night on a rental program. The hotelier can purchase the equipment at the end of the rental period for $1.00. Other packages are available with additional technology products custom designed for the hotelier's property.

HFS is a single-source solution for whatever renovation, upgrading or addition you have planned. And the company offers financing alternatives to make the dream of a better property a reality today.
