Hilldrup Case Study: Holiday Inn Club Vacations

Holiday Inn Club Vacations offers unique getaway experiences at stunning resorts located in the nation’s most sought-after destinations. One such popular lodge, David Walley’s Resort, located in the outskirts of Reno, NV, offers a relaxing retreat with a variety of amenities for visitors to enjoy. Spanning four stunning buildings, David Walley’s Resort required a FF&E installation of 108 units on a fast-approaching deadline.

CHALLENGE

Holiday Inn Club Vacations needed a partner who could provide a dedicated project management team and support its strategic project plan. The requirements of the project led to an immediate question for the Orlando-based client – who could handle this job located in Reno? In addition, the timeline of the project brought its own unique challenges in the midst of the growing COVID-19 pandemic.

SOLUTION

With 117 years of experience, Hilldrup Logistics prepared to quickly get to work on the receipt, storage and installation of 250,000 pounds of FF&E items. Our team arrived equipped with the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and worked diligently to ensure that all protective measurements were in place for the safety and health of everyone on site. We received all FF&E items – from furniture and mattresses to artwork and light fixtures – in February, and delivered and installed each piece over the course of four phases spanning four months. Our team also assisted in providing project management oversight due to travel restrictions impacting other partners’ availability. Hilldrup Logistics accommodated all plans and requests for Holiday Inn Club Vacations to deliver a renovation project that was safe, on budget and on schedule.
