Candlewood Suites delivers exceptional ROI for hotel owners thanks to lean operating models and long average guest stays. Learn how to source FF&E that withstands demanding extended-stay living without costly premature replacements.
Engineered for Low Maintenance and Long Stays
Candlewood Suites by IHG operates on a unique extended-stay model characterized by weekly housekeeping cycles, fully equipped kitchens in every suite, and self-service guest amenities like the Candlewood Cupboard and free guest laundry. Because staff enters guestrooms less frequently, furnishings must be virtually indestructible.
Casegoods must feature high-impact 3mm PVC edge banding to prevent chipping from vacuum cleaners and luggage carts, and drawer slides must be commercial-rated self-closing steel hardware.
