Welcome to the history
of hospitality & lodging overview...
A New Theme
300 years ago accommodations for travelers on the
American East Coast were in the form of inns.
During the colonial days lodging was available in all seaports.
There were the bars which allowed sailors to fasten their hammocks on hooks in
the backroom and the more costly accommodations offered bunks. Luxurious inns of
those days
usually had rooms with a number of beds, big enough that more than one person could
sleep in it.
In the year 2000 we look at a wide variety of hotels. To
attract visitors more and more theme hotels are being built.
Much of what used to be luxury 50 years ago is today part of
the tourists' standard expectation.
Theme hotels are not any more limited to America but the concept of
such type of tourist attractions can be found around the world (2 examples are
below).
