Hospitality spaces demand more from their flooring than almost any other industry. With constant foot traffic, rolling luggage, frequent cleaning, and the expectation of a flawless guest experience, hotels need flooring solutions that balance durability, maintenance ease, and aesthetics. In 2022, Floors Depot was selected to lead a large-scale flooring renovation at the Ramada Hotel Coquitlam (631 Lougheed Hwy, Coquitlam, BC).

Located in the heart of Coquitlam, this project contributes to the city’s growing tourism and hospitality sector.


The scope was significant: over 6,000 square feet of flooring across guest rooms, meeting halls, dining spaces, and fitness areas had to be replaced. The solution? A hospitality-grade luxury vinyl plank (LVP) system engineered for performance and style.


Project Overview

The Ramada Hotel Coquitlam required an upgrade from its aging carpets and worn surfaces to a modern, durable flooring system. Floors Depot was responsible for:

  • Removing existing flooring (carpets and vinyl).

  • Preparing subfloors to ensure level installation.

  • Supplying and installing 6,000 sq. ft. of glued-down vinyl plank flooring.

  • Coordinating phased work to minimize disruption to hotel guests.

The project was completed in 8 weeks, staying within budget and on schedule, thanks to careful planning and seamless execution.


Why Luxury Vinyl Plank for Hotels?

Choosing the right flooring material was a critical decision. Floors Depot recommended LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) for several reasons:

  1. Durability under heavy use. Hotels endure constant stress on flooring—from luggage wheels to furniture movement. LVP is highly resistant to scratches, dents, and wear.

  2. Moisture resistance. Perfect for hotel bathrooms, dining areas, and gyms, LVP withstands spills, cleaning chemicals, and high humidity without warping.

  3. Low-maintenance Hospitality staff need flooring that can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly. LVP requires minimal upkeep, saving staff time and costs.

  4. Design versatility. With wood-look finishes, LVP adds warmth and elegance to interiors, giving guest rooms and public spaces a modern, inviting aesthetic.


Execution and Timeline

Floors Depot executed the renovation in stages, working floor by floor to keep the hotel fully operational during construction. This approach ensured minimal guest disruption while delivering consistent progress.

  • Week 1–2: Removal of existing carpet and vinyl across guest rooms.

  • Week 3–4: Subfloor leveling and moisture testing.

  • Week 5–7: Installation of luxury vinyl planks in guest suites, dining areas, and common hallways.

  • Week 8: Final detailing in meeting rooms, gym areas, and transitions between flooring surfaces.

Areas of Installation

The project scope included multiple functional spaces within the hotel:

  • Guest Rooms & Suites – The flooring upgrade gave each room a fresh, modern appearance, aligning with Ramada’s hospitality standards.

  • Meeting Halls – Durable planks ensured resistance to high traffic from events, conferences, and large gatherings.

  • Dining Areas – Floors designed for frequent cleaning without losing their finish.

  • Fitness Facility – Moisture-resistant planks ideal for a gym environment.

  • Lobby & Common Areas – A cohesive flooring design that tied together the entire guest experience.

  • A surface that is easy to clean and maintain, supporting fast room turnovers.

  • An upgraded guest experience that aligns with Ramada’s global hospitality reputation.
