Who Buys Luxury Hotel Furniture After a Renovation?

What happens to all the beds, sofas, chairs, tables and other furniture when a luxury hotel renovates?

In this video, we follow luxury hotel furniture after it leaves the guest room, discover who may buy it next, and explore what determines whether a piece is worth reselling, reusing, recycling or simply disposing of.
