Room service
Most hotels offer some forms of food and beverage service which means room service. It is a catering service in which food and drinks are brought to a guest’s room in a hotel. RS is ordered by telephone from a menu that is placed in each room. The menu itself in some cases is the same as the one for the dining room, but more often it is simplified to make for easier preparation and service. Special employees take the orders and special waiters carry them to the rooms. To cut down on orders for ice and soft drinks, many hotels have machines on each floor to dispense these items.
RS in most hotels closes down at the same time the kitchen does, normally between ten o’clock and midnight. A few hotels, however, are prepared to provide sandwiches even during the late-night hours. Some luxury hotels have small kitchens or pantries on each floor that are used either for warming food or for preparing breakfast. More room service orders are rather for breakfast than for any other meal. In some hotels, the guest can order breakfast before he goes to bed by filling out a slip which he leaves outside the door. The meal is then served at the time the guest has specified.
RS it is very convenient service for guests.

Congress hotel and its facilities.
As far as I know Congress hotels are usually located in the city centre not far from important official buildings and sometimes in picturesque places in suburbs, near airports. It’s known that these hotels usually have four stars category, because prestige of the hotel is very important for business people. The hotel can contain about 300 spacious rooms of the highest and business category and each room is equipped according to all modern international standards. But most accommodation is single and double rooms. Each room is equipped with all modern conveniences such as air conditioning with its own temperature control, direct dial and international phone, satellite TV, in-room Internet access, 24-hour room service, a safe deposit box and a minibar, everything depends on the type of the room.
It is well-known fact that Congress hotel can be equipped with facilities to organize and conduct symposia or congresses and other meetings. For that full service business center offers some conference rooms with full range of the highest quality technical equipment such as: overhead projector, microphones, flip charts, lectern, audiovisual equipment, satellite link, internet access and computer rental; exhibition area which is able to accommodate a lot of people; in some hotels, the banquet hall which can be transformed in a congress hall, or several halls which can be connected to create a larger space. That’s why Congress hotels usually have a total of about 700 square miters of conference and banqueting space.
It is also important that Congress hotel is equipped with high-speed lifts.
As for extra services, there are professional interpretation and translation services; secretarial service; conference coordinator service; printing service; transportation and outdoor parking; hotel taxi or car rental service, with driver or without, on request; currency exchange; photographers; florists and catering services at our guests’ disposal.
After hard working day the hotel offers services for rest and relaxation such as: restaurants which provide dishes of international cuisine; a coffee shop; a lobby bar; a sauna; a gym; indoor swimming pool and SPA.
In conclusion I’d like to add that hotels of this type are very popular around the world and a great variety of services for work and rest help business people reach their purposes.
