Commercial Hotels

Today’s commercial hotels are usually located in downtown or business districts-areas that are convenient and of interest to their target markets. These hotels are the largest group of hotel types and cater primarily to business travellers. Although commercial hotels primarily serve business travelers, many tour groups, individual tourists, and small conference groups find these hotels attractive. Guest amenities at commercial hotels may include complimentary newspapers, morning coffee, free local telephone calls, cable television, and access to VCRs and videos, personal computers, and fax machines. Most commercial hotels have conference rooms, room service, and banquet meal service. Swimming pools, health clubs, tennis courts, saunas, and jogging areas may also be among the property’s features.

Airport hotels.

Air travel encouraged a distinct type of hotel growth. Demand skyrocketed for lodging facilities located near airports – especially international airports. Airport hotels are popular because of their proximity to major travel centers. More than any other type of hotel, airport hotels vary widely in size and level of services. Typical target markets include business clientele, airline passengers with overnight travel layovers or cancelled flights, and airline personnel. Hotel-owned limousines or courtesy vans often transport guests between the hotel and the airport. Many airport hotels feature conference rooms to attract a particular market: those guests who travel to a meeting by air and wish to minimize ground travel. Guests who stay at airport hotels often enjoy significant cost savings and convenience from such arrangements.

Suite hotels

Suite hotels are among the newest and fastest-growing segments of the lodging industry. These hotels feature guestrooms with a living room or parlour area and a separate bedroom. Some guest suites include a compact kitchenette with a refrigerator and in-room beverage service. Suite hotels appeal to different market segments. People who are relocating transform suites into temporary living quarters; frequent travelers enjoy the comforts of a “home-away-from-home”. Professionals such as accountants, lawyers, and executives find suite hotels particularly attractive since they can work of entertain in an area besides the bedroom. Some suite hotels offer complimentary evening receptions, breakfasts, of hors d’oeuvre or snack service.
