Imperial 301 - The renovation, back to a hotel with Sarah Carrillo by CiT NETWORK This video will take you through the renovation of the Imperial Hotel, Longmont, CO. Guided tour with Sarah Carrillo and hosted by Nigel Aves. Longmont's history is quite fascinating, with stories ranging from ancient indigenous presence to its unique founding by Chicagoans! Here's a brief overview: Early Inhabitants: The land around Longmont has been home to various indigenous peoples for thousands of years, starting with the Clovis people about 14,000 years ago. The dry climate made permanent habitation challenging, but evidence suggests sporadic settlements by groups like the Folsom and Plano peoples. The Chicago-Colorado Colony: In 1871, a group of Chicagoans, led by Reverend Robert Collyer, envisioned a utopian town in Colorado. They established the "Chicago-Colorado Colony," selling memberships to finance the purchase of land near Longs Peak. By summer 1871, a planned town called Longmont, after the towering mountain, was up and running, with streets laid out in a grid pattern within a square mile. Early Growth and Industry: The arrival of the Colorado Central Railroad in 1873 boosted Longmont's economy. Agriculture flourished, and industries like the J.H. Empson Cannery and the Great Western Sugar Factory became major employers. Longmont even celebrated its agricultural heritage with "Pumpkin Pie Days" from 1899 to 1915, drawing crowds with thousands of pies! 20th-Century Transformations: The 20th century saw significant changes in Longmont. The Kuner-Empson cannery and Great Western Sugar factory closed, impacting the agricultural scene. However, new industries like IBM and the U.S. Air Traffic Control Center arrived, leading to population growth and a shift towards technology and services. Modern Longmont: Today, Longmont is a thriving city with a population of over 100,000. Its economy is diverse, encompassing technology, healthcare, education, and more. The city prides itself on its commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness, earning the nickname "Sunshine City" for its abundant sunshine and focus on renewable energy. This is just a glimpse into Longmont's rich history. The historic Main Street district in Longmont, Colorado is a vibrant and charming area with a rich history. Here are a few of the highlights: Visit Longmont Colorado: This visitor center is a great place to start your exploration of the district. They can provide you with information on local attractions, events, and dining. City of Longmont Callahan House: This 1892 Queen Anne-style house is a popular event venue and a beautiful example of Victorian architecture. St Stephen's Plaza: This historic plaza is a great place to relax and people-watch. It's also home to a number of shops and restaurants. Old Mill Park: This park features several 19th-century cabins, a gazebo, and gardens. It's a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city....

Room Typology One of the characteristics of a new hotel unit is the lack of a study on room typology. Typically, this is a task undertaken when construction is complete, and the result is irreversible. The importance of room typology lies in the fact that the more room types there are, the greater the chances of creating gaps in our plan and offering complimentary room upgrades to achieve high occupancy.   Below are some simple tips: • Consolidating multiple types into fewer, or even better, the right number based on the size of the hotel, is a significant financial advantage •  Labeling the view on the room typology, will save you from many complaints and negative reviews • The significance of "Sea view" is a uniqueselling advantage.   Last but not least, create the right typology plan in collaboration with your consultant while in the architectural design phase. #roomtypology #roomtypes #hotelroomtypes #revenuemanagement #hotelsadvisor #hotelconsulting

Project Profile: Hampton by Hilton, Edinburgh When it came to upgrading on-site fire safety, Greenwood Louvre was consulted for advanced solutions which wouldn’t compromise on building aesthetics or guest comfort. In the event of a fire, compartmentalising the blaze helps to prevent the spread of smoke and flames to give occupants time to escape and emergency services the time to safely enter – but compartmentalisation isn’t always straightforward where large, spacious interiors are concerned. Open spaces can lead to faster spread of fire and smoke where the right safety measures are not taken. To support the hotel’s fire strategy, Greenwood Louvre supplied and installed fire curtains which will deploy within seconds upon activation to hamper the movement of fire in an emergency. Made of fire resistant materials, Greenwood Louvre’s fire curtains mean that even in the Hampton by Hilton’s most grandiose open spaces, fire compartmentalisation is only ever moments away. To provide added protection, and to offer ventilation during day to day operation, Greenwood Louvre also installed a series of advanced smoke vents at the hotel. As well as helping to vent smoke during a fire, Greenwood Louvre’s smoke vents serve a dual purpose by promoting efficient ventilation of air in normal operation – ensuring that visitors enjoy a comfortable and consistent indoor environment.

[NEWS] Plans lodged to convert Coventry Co-op into aparthotel Plans have been submitted to Coventry City Council to convert a vacant Co-op corner store in St Michael’s into a 24-bed aparthotel. Documents submitted by Anjum Design Ltd read: “Due to the basement floor plan of the building the layout of the hotel accommodation includes internal rooms without windows. This is a far from ideal layout however as this is not a permanent from of residential accommodation, which would require higher levels of amenity, it is considered that the proposal could not be resisted on amenity grounds and is a scenario which is evident in the existing hotels operated by this budget hotel providers elsewhere in country.
