Hotels Can Be Found In A Variety Of Unusual Designs And Price Ranges

By Adriana Noton


You can stay at hotels for short periods on payment of a certain amount of money. The concept of a hotel in the past was very basic with a bed, a wardrobe, one wash basin and a small table in a room. This is mostly something of the past now and today these establishments have modern amenities like attached bathrooms and air conditioners.

Most rooms will now have a television, telephone, alarm clocks, safe for valuables, coffee pot with coffee grounds, and a mini bar with snacks and drinks. Suites, or luxury rooms, could include Jacuzzi baths, swimming pools, babysitting areas, big conference rooms, and certain services for social functions.

The meaning of the word as well as the services available there are different in different countries. There is a scheduled time for serving of food in some countries. Some private places may not, however, adhere to this schedule. In many countries, hotel means a bar or a pub and do not give accommodation. Another interesting fact is that in some of countries the word means restaurant.

The word hotel has come from a French word meaning host. A hotel is a French townhouse. Some such places serve food as a routine arrangement. In most cases the rooms are numbered or in some cases named. The purpose is easy identification of rooms by the guests.

Different inns will have a variety of costs, functions, and can be of diverse sizes. There are categories that they can be placed under from upscale to limited service. Most places that offer accommodation are placed into a category so that people know what to expect.

There are some such places that carve a niche of their own because of the extraordinary comforts or the ambiance they provide. Living trees have been included as structural features in some of them. In some cases, underground nuclear shelters have been converted to hotels.

The old children's story about the old woman who lived in a shoe has even inspired architects to build structures just like a giant shoe. When they are designed like this, they generally take after a platform dancing shoe. Natural caves are a good start for people building special hotels, because some of the structure is already built. It is a novel experience for visitors because rooms are underground. There is even a hotel underwater and people actually need to go scuba diving to get to their room.

A capsule hotel is where you get shared accommodation and limited facilities. They are cheap places where your get a bed and other features are shared by all guests. In winter, some hotels designed from ice are made. They melt in summer to be rebuilt in the next winter.

The destination influences the type of hotel we choose. Stay away from places with a bad reputation because they can ruin your vacation. Researching beforehand can ensure that you end up in a hotel with quality rooms. Good service is the trademark of good hotels in any price range.
