A hotel suite with walnut joinery and cream upholstery, lit by a low beam of evening sun

From the lobby to the last teaspoon.

MANARA designs, manufactures, supplies and installs complete fit-out, bespoke furniture, joinery and FF&E for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments. One accountable partner from drawings to handover.

The record behind the offer

150+ projects for 45+ clients and consultants, 15 of them government and sovereign entities, across 5 countries, and 455 hotel rooms and units in a single complex.

One partner, six stages, one contract

Most hotel projects pass through a designer, a joiner, a furniture importer, a kitchen supplier and a fit-out contractor. With MANARA it is one team, answerable for all of it.

  1. Design adaptation and BOQ

    We adapt the design to the operator's standards and your budget, and prepare the bill of quantities and specifications with you.

  2. Shop drawings and samples

    Coordinated technical drawings, BIM where the project needs it, and material samples or a model room for approval.

  3. Production in our workshop

    Joinery, fixed and loose furniture and metalwork are made in-house, so quality and programme stay in one pair of hands.

  4. Procurement and logistics

    Kitchens, equipment, lighting and operating supplies are sourced, consolidated and delivered to site in the order installation needs them.

  5. Installation and fit-out

    Our site teams install and finish every space, coordinated with the MEP works.

  6. Snagging and handover

    Testing, snagging and formal handover, room by room, ready for the operator to open.

  • Doors, wall cladding, wardrobes and vanities
  • CNC machining and metal fabrication

Tell us about your project

A short brief is enough to start. We reply with the right person, not a price list.

We take on complete furnishing and fit-out projects, from one genuine apartment or model room to full hotels. We do not supply single ready-made items, repairs or used furniture.

A range and a currency is enough

Manara means lighthouse. It is built to be relied on, and so is our work.
