Types of Accommodation (Hotels)

Accommodation can be classified into various types; the most popular of which are the following:
1. Hotels
Hotels can be a 10-room boarding house or a building that has a thousand or more rooms, convention
and meeting facilities, recreation facilities such as swimming pools and tennis courts, 24-hour room
service, with several restaurants and bars and various types of entertainment.

2.Motels or Motor Hotels

Normally, motels only offer rooms only and free parking to guests. These are often found along busy
highways and cater primarily to transient and cost-conscious travelers.

3.Resort Hotels
Resort hotels are intended for vacation travelers. These hotels range from budget to luxury and can
accommodate these travelers and even convention delegates.

4.Pensions
Pensions are found principally in Europe. These are usually family-owned accommodation facilities. In
German speaking parts of Europe, a pension is also called Gasthaus.

5.Paradors
Paradors are unique to Spain. These are generally old castles, convents, or monasteries that have been
converted into hotels by the government and are operated by the government.

6.Condominium Hotels
Condominium hotels are a recent innovation. These are often hotels with apartments (condominiums)
instead of basic rooms. The condominium units are sold by the hotel developers to individuals who are
given a title to the physical real estate.

7.Campgrounds
Camping is a popular form of overnight accommodation in both Europe and North America. In North
America, there are at present more than 20,000 campgrounds, some of which are owned by hotels.
8.Bed and Breakfast
8.Bed and breakfast
Is a form of lodging which originated in Europe. This form of accommodation provides a bed for the
night and breakfast the next day. It was only in the 1970s that the idea was brought to the United
States. Retired and semiretired people with large houses have contributed much to the growth of these
establishments.

9.Tourist Inns
Tourist inns are lodging establishments that cater to transients. These do not normally meet the
minimum requirements of an economy hotel.

10.Apartment-Hotels (Apartels)
Apartment-hotels are buildings which contain several independent and furnished or semi-furnished
apartments. These are leased to tourists and travelers on a long-term basis and offer basic services to its
tenant, similar to hotels.

11.Health Spas
Health spas are hotels and resorts which cater to people who go to spas or mineral springs for medical
treatment or weight reduction. The idea of visiting health spas originated in Europe. The Romans and
the Greeks visited the spas as early as the first century.

12.Private Homes
The private home is the earliest form of overnight lodging for travelers. It provides lodging to tourists
who cannot be accommodated in hotels and motels during peak vacation periods.

13.Time-sharing
Time-sharing is a more recent unique type of accommodation. It started in Europe in the 1960s when
people found it difficult to make reservations every year in popular hotels during summer.

14. Hostels
Hostels provide basic amenities such as a bunk bed and a commonly shared toilet and bathroom. The
traveler provides his or her own bedding. Hostels appeal primary to young travelers.
