can you rent a hotel room and ask or have the bed removed leaving an open space where the bed was
For the right price, a hotel will do just about anything you want. But a request like that would require all kinds of documentation.
Yes you could with several strings attached. Firstly there well may be some additional charges that would apply to the regular rates. When hotels rent out rooms the rates are based on the amount of untilities that the person[s] would use and expected amount of housekeeping required to clean the room etc... nowhere in the rates hotels charge is moving furniture in and out of a unit and having to tear it down prior to your arrival and rebiuld it from bedfame up after. So for the special request [over and above the expected] you may be changed a nominal fee. Secondly there may be a bit of awkwardness on both sides. Hotels don't really care what people do in their rooms as long as other rooms [the hotels business] are uneffected so no bed is no biggie... but why? You're obviously not going to be sleeping so if awake all night are you going to be a pain the the butt to night-time staff and guests. Hotel's are used to all sorts of obscure requests, but given a hotel's function and the whole point of their business is to lodge guests [as per The Inkeepers Act] it is their business to stick their nose in - so they know who is under their roof, a liability thing and yeah someone asking for no bed would make me go hmmmm. I'm not saying it's not legit, I'm just saying I'm obligated to ask why [and if you want the room you'd have to answer or I'd just pass] Just tell them you're using the room for a photo shoot, getting rid of the bed and putting a background against the wall... or having a work or social group meeting, it's just a few people who a hotel perfect size, don't need a conference room as its just 4-6 people so clearing out the bed would be awesome... Taking the bed out isn't a huge deal, but they'd want to know why [because of the impression you'll be up all night and fear you'll be loud or lots of people coming and going....]
