HFD was founded in 2001 by hospitality veteran Robert Cormier with a simple belief: hotel projects deserve the same care, coordination, and accountability that great hotel operations require every day. With more than two decades of firsthand hotel operations experience—from operating full-service hotels to guiding and managing the supply and project side of the industry—Bob saw a recurring challenge. Even when designs were strong and specifications were clear, projects could still fall short because of misalignment, preventable mistakes, and gaps in oversight.
HFD was built to change that.
We bring clarity, structure, steady leadership, and great communication to hospitality interiors—creating an environment where owners and operators feel supported and confident at every step. By integrating interior design, procurement, value-added purchasing, and hands-on project involvement, we provide continuity from concept through opening. We identify risks early, align teams, and ensure decisions are carried through with clarity, discipline, and care.
Because we’ve operated hotels ourselves, we understand what truly matters once the doors open. Our focus is not just delivering a beautiful space—but delivering one that performs, lasts, and is ready for guests from day one. Above all, our role is simple: protect the project and provide our clients peace of mind.
HFD begins every project by understanding your brand, objectives, and guest expectations. With a client-first approach, we unite design, procurement, and project delivery to align requirements, budgets, and timelines. We walk properties, work directly with clients and contractors, and take a systematic approach to ensure the right product arrives in the right quantity at the right time. Operating at the intersection of design and execution, we reduce risk, improve coordination, and protect the project through opening.
HFD upholds a legacy of integrity, reliability, and accountability. Our accredited interior designers, procurement specialists, and project managers deliver brand-aligned results with the highest standards of quality, design, and performance. This client-first philosophy continues to define our partnerships and our reputation in hospitality.
