Basically they have an important or regular guest who wants and probably happy to pay more for the presidential suite, so the “ under construction “ gag is used to get more revenue and keep his lordship happy .
Of course I’m only speculating but if I was a betting man this would be my direction.

I work in construction and really do deem an external hoist, scaffold, perimeter fencing, hoarding, manifestation (to cover the hoist view), work persons in high-viz and hard hats using power tools, to be construction. I guess I am not that clued up on it as a GM though.

How exactly are they going to do that except by adding passages to one of the buildings next door ??
Adding more than 1 floor to the existing building would greatly increase the weight load, and I can't see that being safe in any way.

see pic of proposed extension here best guess is the current suites get divided into new smaller rooms and suites are added up top in the glass extensions.
