Specifying Eichholtz for a Hospitality Project

Interior designers working on hotels, restaurants, and private clubs have been specifying Eichholtz for decades. The collection is built for it — deep in catalog depth, consistent in finish language, and available in the kinds of scale that commercial spaces demand. At Eichholtz Las Vegas, the full collection is on the floor. This article is a practical guide to how hospitality specification works through the showroom.

Commercial projects have different requirements than residential work. Lead times matter more, because rooms open on a deadline. Finish consistency matters more, because a project might involve two hundred pieces across three distinct spaces. And scale matters more, because a lobby chandelier or a restaurant chair has to perform at a different level than a residential living room piece. Eichholtz is built around exactly these needs — which is why designers with significant hospitality books return to it project after project.

The same catalog that furnishes a private residence can furnish a hotel lobby. Eichholtz designs for both, and the quality bar is the same.

What makes Eichholtz work for commercial specification

Four things come up consistently when designers talk about why they use Eichholtz on hospitality projects.

• One catalog, every category. A full hotel spec might draw on chandeliers, pendants, lounge chairs, dining chairs, side tables, console tables, floor lamps, decorative mirrors, and accent objects. Eichholtz supplies all of it under one house — one vendor relationship, one finish language, one repeat-order source.
• Finish depth across categories. Brushed brass, antique bronze, polished nickel, blackened steel, and lacquer all appear across both lighting and furniture. You can build a coherent finish story across an entire property — lobby, restaurant, bar, and guest suites — without mixing brands or compromising on consistency.
• Scale flexibility. The catalog includes pieces built for residential rooms and pieces built for rooms with twelve-foot ceilings and forty-person dining tables. The statement chandelier that anchors a hotel dining room is in the same catalog as the side table that goes in the guest suite. You don't have to go to a different source for the large-format pieces.
• In-stock availability. In-stock Eichholtz pieces ship in two to four weeks from the warehouse network — compared to the twelve-to-twenty-four-week lead times typical on made-to-order luxury furniture. For phased openings, punch-list replacements, and rooms that have to open by a specific date, that kind of availability is significant.

The spaces where Eichholtz performs best

Hospitality projects aren't monolithic. The lobby reads differently from the restaurant, and the lounge reads differently from the guest suite. Here's how the collection maps to each space.

Lobby and reception. This is where the brand statement lives. Designers typically anchor a lobby around one or two signature pieces — a chandelier cluster over reception, a statement sofa grouping in the lounge section — and fill outward with accent chairs, console tables, and side tables. The Eichholtz catalog has all three at lobby scale, and the consistency of finish across categories makes it possible to specify the whole package from one source.

Restaurant and dining room. Overhead lighting is almost always the first decision in a dining spec. The Eichholtz lighting program runs from single-arm pendants to multi-arm chandeliers to flush-mount fixtures for lower-clearance rooms. Dining chairs follow — the catalog includes armless dining chairs, carvers, and upholstered seating in multiple fabric configurations available through special order.

Lounge, bar, and club. These are the rooms where Eichholtz's depth in accent pieces makes the most difference. Lounge chairs with distinctive silhouettes, floor lamps with sculptural bases, stone-topped and mirrored side tables, decorative objects on bar tops. Designers working on members' clubs and hotel bars often use this part of the catalog as the character layer on top of the structural furniture spec.

How the trade program works for commercial orders

Eichholtz Las Vegas has a trade program for interior designers placing orders on behalf of projects. Applying is straightforward — we review your business license and professional credentials, and most designers are approved within a few business days. If you're specifying for a hospitality project that hasn't broken ground yet, applying now means your pricing is in place before the spec phase is complete.

What trade access gives you:

• Trade pricing on the full catalog, covering both in-stock and special-order configurations.
• Showroom access for client presentations and material sign-offs — useful when your client wants to see and touch finishes before a major commercial order is placed.
• Project support from the showroom team on larger orders, including real-time availability checks and lead-time guidance by piece.

The trade program is for designers placing orders on behalf of clients — it covers residential and commercial projects equally. Whether you're specifying a single hotel suite refresh or a ground-up hospitality development, the program applies.

In-stock versus special-order: choosing the right approach

For hospitality timelines, this distinction is one of the most practical decisions in the spec process.

In-stock pieces ship in two to four weeks. For furniture that needs to arrive before a room opens — or for replacement pieces when something is damaged during FF&E installation — in-stock is the right frame to work in. The Eichholtz in-stock catalog is broad enough that specifying from it rarely feels like a compromise. These pieces are the same quality as special-order configurations; they're simply options the brand produces in volume and holds in the warehouse network.

Special-order pieces — specific fabric combinations, custom configurations, or finishes outside the standard range — require more lead time and should be ordered early in the project schedule. If you're building a lobby spec around a specific finish combination that has to coordinate with custom millwork, plan the Eichholtz order for the same phase as the millwork.

We can tell you, on any piece in the showroom, whether it's currently in stock and what the expected lead time is. That conversation is worth having early, before the project schedule is locked and before the in-stock availability picture changes on the pieces you're targeting.

Using the showroom for client sign-offs

The Eichholtz Las Vegas showroom is a full brand experience — built to show the collection in room-like settings across furniture, lighting, and accessories. For designers working on hospitality projects with clients based in or traveling through Las Vegas, the showroom is a useful client approval space.

Bringing a client through before a major order is placed accomplishes a few things. It lets them experience material quality directly — the weight of a brass fitting, the texture of a fabric, the visual scale of a chandelier at full height in a real room setting. It also compresses the approval cycle. A decision that might take three rounds of sample board review can often be resolved in a single showroom visit.

We can arrange visits for active project presentations. If you want to bring a hotel developer, an F&B operator, or a hospitality ownership group through the space to approve a materials palette, contact the showroom team in advance to schedule it.

Getting started

Eichholtz Las Vegas opens this summer of 2026. The full catalog is available for specification now through the showroom team, and trade program applications are open. If you have an active hospitality project — hotel, restaurant, private club, or mixed-use development — the right time to connect is early in the spec phase, before the furniture schedule is set. Availability on in-stock pieces changes, and the best selection is always available to designers who plan ahead.
