Logistics That Bring Hospitality Spaces to Life
Hilldrup offers a fully integrated service model that supports every phase of your project, from initial planning to final placement.
Our Hospitality Logistics Services
With over 100 years of experience in logistics and relocation, Hilldrup provides end-to-end FF&E and OS&E solutions built to meet the high standards of hotels and resorts. Our specialized hospitality practice ensures on-time openings, brand compliance, and flawless guest readiness, whether you’re launching a boutique property or a large-scale project.
Planning & Coordination
- Pre-Project Planning: We work alongside procurement, design, and construction teams to align timelines, identify risk factors, and build competitive logistics budgets from the ground up.
- Project Closeout: We compile final reports, proof-of-delivery, and punch-list resolutions into a clean closeout package that meets ownership, brand, and audit requirements.
Freight & Transportation
- Specialty Freight: We handle time-critical and sensitive deliveries through specialty services including small parcel shipments, blanket-wrapped transport, team-driver long hauls, and hot shot service for direct, last-minute freight. Every move is aligned with your installation schedule to reduce risk and eliminate delays.
- Flexible Freight Options: We manage full, partial, and less-than-truckload shipments, along with international container freight. Our team coordinates transport schedules, navigates customs, and ensures cross-border shipments arrive when and where they’re needed.

Warehousing & Inventory Management

- Receiving & Storage: We consolidate, inspect, and securely store your inventory across a trusted facility network. Whether at a Hilldrup site or partner location, your FF&E is ready to meet your delivery deadline.
Onsite Execution
- Deinstallation & Liquidation: We remove outdated furnishings with care, managing donation, resale, or eco-friendly disposal to keep operations running smoothly during phased renovations.
- FF&E Delivery & Install: Our teams deliver, distribute, and install FF&E with precision. We coordinate sequencing by floor or phase and resolve punch-list items onsite.
- OS&E Logistics: We install OS&E in guest rooms and public areas efficiently, minimizing disruption. We prepare and deliver Room-in-a-Box (RIAB) kits aligned with FF&E phases.
