Hotel Room Door Signs
Cheetah:
The hotel already answered, and the biggest allowed size is A3. If you have commissioned anything larger, I'm afraid you will have to scale it down.
Nightfox:
@kalaallitamaroq
Many Hotels allow no signs at all.
Commissioning a door sized picture without even asking if it would be allowed is a very stupid idea.........
I'm very sorry but this is a 100% self made problem of yours, its not the hotels fault and its not the conventions fault

This sucks terribly, especially for someone who already commissioned a door sized drawing :(
...
What if we show them the artwork in advance?

Just an idea from a fellow attendee, here...
If you wish to show it off, you might consider getting a panel in the Art Show (that is, assuming that any panels are still available for purchase) and hang it there, on a NFS basis, for all to see!*
Myself, I have always missed seeing all the door signs and decorations because I never spend time cruising all of the hotel room floors and halls (and for some conventions, it's multiple hotels!), but if you paid an artist good money for such a large door sign, you must have wanted people to see it, and this may be your only option. And if the artist who created it doesn't already have a panel, perhaps he or she might be willing to share the cost of one, just to show off their mad art skills...
...And you may still put a more appropriate-sized version on your door, to act as a location marker.
*NOTE: I may haunt the art shows of various conventions, but I haven't ever needed a panel myself; so I do not know which conventions charge for panels, and which offer them free to artists, in exchange for a percentage of the art sale price.
Cheetah:
Again, I'm sorry that things turned not our for you as you expected, but I can only agree to Nightfox - it would have been wiser to ask first, like tungro did. At the moment there's nothing we can do to change the situation, and we think that the Estrel is acutally being very generous by allowing door signs at all.
I think everything has been said about this topic, which is why I'm going to end the discussion here and close this topic :)
