What does FF&E mean?

FF&E is the abbreviation for “Furniture, Fixture and Equipment” and can be translated as “furniture, fixtures and fittings”. The FF&E package from APPIA Contract GmbH therefore includes built-in furniture, loose hotel furniture, decorative fabrics such as curtains and cushions, decorations, lighting and typical hotel equipment (e.g. hotel safe, minibar). FF&E services can also be commissioned from the hotel interior designer for the furnishing of public areas of the hotel, such as the restaurant, bar, conference and meeting rooms as well as wellness and spa areas.

What furniture is needed in a hotel?

Classic hotel room furnishings from APPIA include: Bed, bedside table, lamps, wardrobe, luggage rack, smart TV, desk, armchair and a fully equipped bathroom with washbasin, toilet, shower or bathtub. Long stay rooms, boarding house rooms and serviced apartments also usually offer a kitchenette. In luxurious suites, the living and sleeping areas are separate. They have an en suite bathroom and offer amenities such as a sauna or whirlpool in the room. There are also dining tables, living room furniture, a separate guest bathroom and meeting rooms.


The furnishings in the hotel lobby are also of particular importance. This is where the first contact with the guest takes place. From the reception desk / concierge desk to the upholstered furniture and multimedia screens with infotainment system, a feel-good atmosphere is created for the hotel guest.


Depending on the hotel category, the restaurant is equipped with a breakfast buffet, show cooking, sky bar or other highlights. The basic furnishings include comfortable chairs, high-quality tables and a checkroom.

What is the difference between a soft renovation and a complete refurbishment in a hotel?

A soft renovation involves upgrading the visual appearance of a hotel room with new or refurbished furniture, curtains, lighting and accessories. Replacing upholstery fabrics on upholstered furniture with modern, fresh colors can extend the life of the hotel furniture and give the room a completely different atmosphere. By reusing existing hotel furnishings, a soft renovation is more sustainable and conserves resources.

In the case of a complete room renovation or a complete refurbishment, we not only replace the hotel furniture, but also renew the floor coverings, tiles, walls and ceilings. In this context, the layout of the hotel room can also be adapted and the bathroom renovated.

When renovating a hotel, further measures are usually necessary, such as replacing windows or modernizing the technical building equipment. Appia is also the right partner for this.
