Hotels have a very long history, but not as we know today, way
back in the 6thcentury BC when the first inn in and around the
city of London began to develop. The first catered to travelers
and provided them with a mere roof to stay under. This
condition of the inns prevailed for a long time, until the
industrial revolution in England, which brought about new
ideas and progress in the business at inn keeping.
The invention of the steam engine made traveling even more
prominent. Which had to more and more people traveling not
only for business but also for leisure reasons. This lead to the
actual development of the hotel industry as we know it today.
