Professional Fees, Contingency, Operating Supplies + Equipment, Attic Stock, Freight, Sales Tax, etc. have not 
been included. However, this Guide does identify broad areas of costs that will likely apply to most types of hotel 

renovations and can provide preliminary insight when planning for such work.
