A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features found in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, and Internet connection; snack foods and drinks may be supplied in a mini-bar, and facilities for making hot drinks. Larger hotels may provide a number of additional guest facilities such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or childcare, and have conference and social function services. Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels) for guests to identify their rooms.
The word hotel is derived from the French hotel meaning ‘host’. Grammatically, hotels usually take the definite article – hence “The Astoria Hotel” or simply “The Astoria”.
Classification
Hotels are also classified by service type ranging from all-inclusive (full-service) resorts that cater to vacationers to small limited service hotels that cater to transient business travelers. The main categories of hotels are as follows:
Full Service Upscale (e.g. Conrad Hotels, Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons Hotels, and JW Marriott)
Full Service (e.g. Hilton, Marriott, Doubletree, and Hyatt)
Select Service (e.g. Courtyard by Marriott and Hilton Garden Inn)
Limited Service (e.g. Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn, Days Inn, and La Quinta Inn)
Extended Stay (e.g. Homewood Suites by Hilton, Residence Inn by Marriott)
Timeshare (e.g. Marriott Vacation Club, Westgate Resorts, and Disney Vacation Club)
Besides, hotels are rated with a number of “stars”, thus we usually have 5-star hotel, 4-star hotel, 3-star, 2-star hotel.
An Apartment Hotel is a serviced apartment complex that uses a hotel-style booking system. It is similar to renting an apartment, but with no fixed contracts and guests can check-out whenever they wish.
A bed and breakfast (or B&B) is a small lodging establishment that offers overnight accommodation and breakfast, but usually does not offer other meals. Typically, bed and breakfasts are private homes with fewer than 10 bedrooms available for commercial use.
Boutique hotel is a term popularized in North America and the United Kingdom to describe luxurious accommodation. They appeared in the 1980s in major cities like London, New York, and San Francisco. Typically boutique hotels are furnished in a stylish manner, often ranging from 3 to 50 guest rooms.
A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship’s amenities are part of the experience, as well as the different destinations along the way.
A guest house (also guesthouse) is a kind of lodging. In some parts of the world a guest house is similar to a hostel, bed and breakfast, or inn whereas in other parts of the world (such as for example the Caribbean), guest houses are a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging.
Homestay is a form of tourism and / or study abroad program that allows the visitor to rent a room from a local family to better learn the local lifestyle as well as improve their language ability. Hosting a homestay participant also allows the local family to earn some additional, needed income. There are a number of online homestay agencies that connect students with hosts all over the world (usually for a nominal fee).
Hostels provide budget oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, sometimes a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen. Rooms can be mixed or single-sex, although private rooms may also be available.
A luxury resort is an expensive vacation facility which is fully staffed and has been rated with five stars. Luxury resorts often boast many visitor activities and attractions such as golf, water sports, spa and beauty facilities, skiing, natural ecology and tranquility. One can also choose golf, ski, spa resorts.
A motel is a hotel designed for motorists, and usually has a parking area for motor vehicles. As the United States highway system began to develop in the 1920s, long distance road journeys became more common and the need for inexpensive overnight accommodation close to the main routes led to the growth of motels.
Vacation rental is a term in the travel industry meaning renting out a furnished apartment or house on a temporary basis to tourists as an alternative to a hotel. They are often referred to as self-catering rentals or villa rentals. In some cities, like Barcelona, local authorities consider vacation rentals to be a threat to the hotel industry placing limits on the industry, while in others, such as England, Ireland, France and Spain, the government promotes holiday rentals.
Unusual hotels

Some hotels are built with living trees as structural elements, for example the Costa Rica Tree House in the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica; the Treetops Hotel in Aberdare National Park, Kenya; the Ariau Towers near Manaus, Brazil, on the Rio Negro in the Amazon; and Bayram’s Tree Houses in Olympos, Turkey.
Cave hotels. The Cuevas Pedro Antonio de Alarcón (named after the author) in Guadix, Spain, as well as several hotels in Cappadocia, Turkey, are built into natural cave formations, some with rooms underground.
Capsule hotels are a type of economical hotel that are found in Japan, where people sleep in stacks of rectangular containers.
