Types of hotels (Part 1)
City Center Hotels
City center hotels, by virtue of their location, meet the needs of the public traveling for business or leisure reasons. These hotels could be luxury, midscale, business, suites, economy, or residential. They offer a range of accommodations and services. Luxury hotels might offer the ultimate in decor, butler service, concierge and special concierge floors, secretarial services, computers, fax machines, beauty salons, health spas, twenty-four-hour room service, swimming pools, tennis courts, valet service, ticket office, airline office, car rental, and doctor/nurse on duty o| on call. Generally, they offer a signature restaurant, coffee shop, or an equivalent name restaurant; a lounge; a name bar; meeting and convention rooms; a ballroom; and possibly a fancy night spot.
City center hotels were constructed in waves; stimulated by government regulations, investors developed hotels when the climate was right, For example, tax incentives for urban renewal projects created favorable economic conditions in the 1960s. This led to the construction of new downtown hotels in many cities. Another boom time for hotel development was the 1980s. Together with convention centers and office buildings, hotels have been one of the catalysts in inner-city revitalization. The Copley Center in Boston and the Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta are examples of this [1, 95].
Airport Hotels
Many airport hotels enjoy a high occupancy because of the large number of travelers arriving and departing from major airports. The guest mix in airport hotels consists of business, group, and leisure travelers.
Passengers with early or late flights may stay over at the airport hotel, While others rest while waiting for connecting flights.
Airport hotels are generally in the 200- to 600-room size and are full service. In order to care for the needs of guests who may still feel as if they are in different time zones, room service and restaurant hours may hi extended, even offered twenty-four hours. More moderately-priced hotels have vending machines.
As competition at airport hotels intensified, some added meeting space to cater to business people who want to fly in, meet, and fly out. Hire, the airport hotel has the advantage of saving the guests from having to go downtown [1, 102-103].
