Seems like once you rent and move enough beds, linens, tables, chairs, etc you'd have cut into your profit margin significantly.

High end hotels will buy new furnishings every 18-24 months. The used furnishings are bought by Hotel Furniture Liquidators (HFL) who sell the furniture to mid-tier hotels. Working with the resellers to rent a dozen rooms of furniture should keep costs down.
