Country Inn & Suites 57-Key FF&E Spec Book: Louisiana Gulf Coast

Breaking down a 62-sheet FF&E specification book for a 57-key Country Inn & Suites property on the Louisiana Gulf Coast across custom casegoods, ADA vanity splits, lighting, carpeting, and breakfast millwork.

Country Inn & Suites 57-Key FF&E Spec Book: Louisiana Gulf Coast

Turnkey hotel furniture procurement lives or dies in the dimension and finish schedules built before factory deposits go out. For a Country Inn & Suites renovation along the Louisiana Gulf Coast, the master workbook organized every guestroom and public area SKU across 62 individual specification sheets tied to seven supply streams covering custom casegoods, upholstered seating, decorative lighting, bedding, window treatments, framed artwork, carpet, and porcelain tile.

Inside the 57-key guestroom count, even small dimensional splits between standard and accessible layouts had to stay locked before production. The schedule separated 37 King headboards at 126 inches wide and 21 Queen headboards at 168 inches wide, paired with 72 King nightstands, 23 Queen nightstands, 59 dressers, 57 writing desks, welcome centers, art shelves, sofa sleepers, lounge chairs, and Charter Furniture armless task chairs. Guest bathroom millwork specifically carved out 51 standard vanities at 58 inches wide and 30 inches tall versus 6 ADA-compliant vanities built 58 3/4 inches wide and raised to a 34-inch deck height, paired with 57 beveled vanity mirrors and 57 full-length mirrors.

Finish coordination anchored those 57 rooms to regional coastal durability and multi-vendor schedules. Floor finishes paired Floridatile 12-by-24-inch porcelain in Gravel and Titanium with three 32-ounce Durkan Merit Spec carpets across guestrooms, corridors, and back-of-house areas. Arkansas Lamp supplied single and double nightstand lamps alongside 64-inch floor lamps and desk fixtures, Artline Group supplied multi-piece guestroom and elevator-lobby artwork sets, and Warp & Phil carried 57 PTAC-notched window treatments plus 56 King and 56 Queen bedding packages.

Public space tables and seating rounded out the book on identical cut-sheet discipline: a 90-inch-long communal dining table, two 108-inch banquette sets, 24 dining chairs, eight 38-inch-tall barstools, four breakfast-room armchairs, and six companion cafe tables. Documenting every bolt joint, glide type, laminate edge, and ADA clearance across all 62 tabs eliminates field surprises when containers land at the loading dock.
