I found this interesting article from the <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.latimes.com\/1991-01-06\/travel\/tr-10505_1_hotel-renovation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LA Times<\/a>, which basically says; 3-6 years for a refurbishment of the furniture and fixtures; 12 years for a basic renovation; and 50 years for a massive renovation. Of course, to show off their latest upgrades they have to have great photography and that&#8217;s where I come in. In this case, the Holiday Inn and Suites in Santa Maria is undergoing a large renovation that started with the pool area. The rest of the renovation is soon to be completed.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/hism-4613-Edit-2-3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Hotel Pool Renovation\" src=\"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/hism-4613-Edit-2-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel Pool Photography - Architectural Photography - Studio 101 West Photography\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recently on a pre-production walk through of a hotel currently under renovation and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1267,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[15,30,31,80,81,122],"class_list":["post-74","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture-photography","tag-architecture","tag-california-architectural-photographer","tag-california-building-photographer","tag-hotel-and-resort-photographer","tag-hotel-renovation-photography","tag-san-luis-obispo-building-photographer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1689,"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74\/revisions\/1689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studio101westphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
