Hotels move more than people think. A renovation means emptying floors of beds, dressers, desks, chairs, lamps, televisions and artwork, storing them and putting them back, or installing new furniture and removing the old. A new property opening means receiving and placing hundreds of pieces of furniture, fixtures and equipment, often called FF&E. A rebrand might mean swapping every lobby piece in a weekend. And through it all, guests are sleeping a few doors away.

Déménagement NST Moving & Storage supports hotels, boutique inns, serviced apartments, student residences and hospitality groups across Greater Montreal. Our hotel movers work floor by floor, follow your operations schedule and keep noise and disruption to a minimum.

Every hotel project is planned by a dedicated coordinator who meets your general manager, operations team and contractors. Together we build a room-by-room or floor-by-floor schedule and agree on a guaranteed flat-fee price for each phase.

Quick answer: NST moves hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment in Montreal for renovations, openings and refreshes, working floor by floor around guests, with storage and a guaranteed flat fee. Call (514) 458-7786.

Planning a hotel project with NST

Kick-off meeting. We meet your operations team and contractors to understand dates, room blocks and constraints.
Inventory. We count furniture per room type and note special items such as headboards, wall-mounted TVs, artwork and minibars.
Phasing. Rooms are grouped into blocks. Each block has a removal date, a work window and a reinstallation date.
Logistics. We reserve service elevators, plan corridor routes, book loading dock times and agree on quiet hours.
Execution. Our crews protect corridors and elevators, remove furniture by room, label it and load or store it.
Reinstallation. Furniture is returned or new FF&E is placed according to room plans, ready for housekeeping.
Review. Your team inspects each block, and we handle any adjustments before moving on.

Working around guests

Hotels never close. Our crews are trained to work respectfully in occupied buildings. We use service elevators and back corridors whenever possible, keep guest corridors clear, follow your quiet hours and wear uniforms so staff and guests can identify us. Furniture is wrapped before it enters guest areas, and protection for corridors, carpets and elevators is installed before we start and removed when we finish.

If you need moves done overnight, early in the morning or during low-occupancy periods, we schedule around your occupancy forecasts.

Protecting furniture and finishes

Hotel furniture is designed for durability, but finishes still scratch and fabrics still stain. We blanket-wrap case goods, cover mattresses and soft seating, and protect headboards and mirrors with corner guards. Small parts such as feet, knobs and brackets are bagged and taped to the furniture they belong to. Every item is labelled with its room number so it returns to the right place after renovation.

Hotel and hospitality properties we serve

We support hotels and hospitality properties in Downtown Montreal, Old Montreal, the Quartier des Spectacles, Griffintown, the Plateau, near Montréal-Trudeau Airport in Dorval, and across Laval, Longueuil, Brossard and the West Island. We also work with student residences, seniors’ residences and serviced apartment operators that need similar room-by-room moves.

Opening a new hotel

New properties have a hard opening date and a long list of deliveries. We can receive FF&E from suppliers, store it until floors are ready, and place each item according to the room plans. Our crews unwrap furniture, assemble beds and desks, remove packaging and leave rooms ready for housekeeping. A single coordinator tracks deliveries and installations floor by floor, so your pre-opening team always knows which rooms are complete.

Handling old furniture responsibly

Renovations create large amounts of used furniture. Before it ends up in a landfill, consider donation to local charities, resale to second-hand dealers or recycling of mattresses and metal components. We help you sort items into keep, store, donate and dispose categories and plan removal accordingly. Removing old furniture efficiently also frees space for contractors and new deliveries.

Seasonal projects and refresh cycles

Many hotels plan renovations and refreshes during low season, when occupancy is lower and more rooms can be taken offline at once. In Montreal, that often means the late fall and the weeks after the winter holidays, while summer and major festival periods are usually kept free for guests. Booking movers early for low-season windows secures crews and storage space. If your project runs on a multi-year refresh cycle, we can plan each year’s work in advance so the process becomes routine for your team.

Moving beds, mattresses and soft furnishings

Beds are the most numerous and the bulkiest items in any hotel. Bed frames and headboards are disassembled with the right tools, and hardware is bagged and attached to each frame. Mattresses and box springs are covered in protective mattress bags before they leave the room, protecting them from dust, moisture and stains in transit and in storage. Duvets, pillows and linens are usually handled by your housekeeping team, but we can move linen carts and storage shelving as part of the project.

Upholstered chairs, sofas and ottomans are wrapped in clean blankets and stretch wrap. When pieces go to storage, we keep them off the floor and away from moisture, and we can group them by floor and room type so the reinstallation goes in the same order.

Communication with your hotel team

A hotel project succeeds when everyone knows what is happening and when. Before each phase, your coordinator shares a short schedule with your general manager, front desk, housekeeping and maintenance leads: which rooms are offline, when crews arrive, which elevator they will use and when the rooms will be returned. Front desk teams can then manage room assignments and answer guest questions with confidence.

During the work, our crew lead checks in with your maintenance or operations contact at the start and end of each shift. Any issue, such as a damaged wall found behind a headboard or a room that is not ready for reinstallation, is reported straight away so it can be fixed without delaying the next block.

Moving conference rooms and event spaces

Hotels with meeting rooms, ballrooms and event spaces often need tables, chairs, staging, podiums and audio-visual carts moved during renovations or reconfigurations. These items are typically stacked and moved on dollies and carts, labelled by room and stored if needed. For audio-visual and IT equipment such as projectors, screens and networking hardware, we use anti-static packing and padded crates. Our IT equipment moving service can help with larger technology installations.

If an event space must stay in service during renovation, we can move furniture in and out between bookings, working with your events team on timing.

Hotel renovation checklist

Confirm room blocks, renovation windows and opening dates with your contractor.
Share room types and furniture counts with your mover.
Decide which furniture will be reused, stored, donated or disposed of.
Book service elevators and loading docks for each phase.
Inform front desk and housekeeping teams about offline rooms.
Plan quiet hours and preferred working times around guests.
Arrange storage for furniture and new FF&E deliveries.
Schedule inspection and housekeeping before rooms return to inventory.

Student residences, seniors' residences and serviced apartments

Many of the same methods apply to other properties with many similar rooms. Student residences often need furniture swapped or repaired over the summer, between the end of exams and the start of the fall term. Seniors’ residences may need individual suites refreshed or reconfigured while residents remain in the building, which calls for patient, respectful crews and careful scheduling. Serviced apartment and short-term rental operators frequently refresh units between bookings and need furniture delivered, assembled and placed quickly.

For each of these, we build a room-by-room plan, protect common areas and elevators, label every item and offer storage between phases. If residents themselves are moving between suites or out of the building, our senior moving and student moving teams can help them too, with the same flat-fee approach.
