Where Good Hotels Go to Die

Filed in archive Hotels , Travel Industry on June 7, 2006

It may not be Plaza Hotel's renovation sale (God, the deals on the flatwear were fabulous) but when hotels redecorate or close down, their unneeded furniture goes to Hotel Surplus, a hotel stock liquidation specialist.

Based in LA (where else?), Hotel Surplus consolidates everything from four star luxury to budget level inventory and then re-sells and re-ships furnishings worldwide. Current stock includes items from The Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, The Beverly Hilton Hotel, and a few Hyatt Regency properties.

And, okay, more than its fair share of budget level dross; their walls overfloweth with 1980s TraveLodge variety "art" nobody but your granny would want:

Even if it is $10. The $399 armoires are a much better deal.
