Hotel Construction Experts
We help owners and project teams complete
complex property improvements with disciplined planning and minimal disruption to guests.
Our Trusted Partners
We take pride in creating a more organized, less stressful experience for the people who trust us with their hotel projects. That approach has made Digney York a trusted contractor and management partner to some of the hospitality industry’s most recognized brands and ownership groups, a trust we greatly value.
What Makes Us Different:
Hospitality Renovation Expertise Built Over Four Decades
Since 1985 our only focus has been hotel rehabs and renovations done with consistency and care. With 450+ hotel properties and delivering more than 150,000 renovated guest rooms, our team has the hospitality-specific experience to manage complex projects around your exact brand standards, hotel operations, and guest sensitivity. We have completed large-scale renovations for our clients across the country, including high-profile properties and logistically challenging environments where careful phasing, staging, cleanliness, noise control, and room turnover matter most.
We support hotel renovation projects from preconstruction through final punch list and closeout, giving you one experienced construction partner across every phase. Our national footprint and repeatable process allow us to support everything from complex, multi-phase luxury interior renovations to high-volume portfolio rollouts.
Throughout the process, our dedicated project teams coordinate closely with ownership, asset managers, third-party project managers, and hotel operations to keep milestones on track and address issues before they become larger problems. Our concierge-level approach is built around the realities of an operating hotel: careful phasing, room-block scheduling, clean staging spaces, quiet hours, front-of-house protection, and efficient turnover.
We serve both full-service and luxury hotels and select- and limited-service properties.
For luxury and full-service projects, the focus is on design precision, premium finishes, guest experience, and minimizing disruption across spaces like guestrooms, suites, lobbies, corridors, and amenities.
For select- and limited-service hotels, we emphasize fast-track execution, cost control, PIP compliance, and scalable room-by-room or portfolio-wide renovations that help properties return to service quickly.
