Building Types and Traditions as Concepts

A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. The cited article says facilities inside a hotel room may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites with bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a refrigerator and other kitchen facilities, upholstered chairs, a television and en-suite bathrooms. Small, lower-priced hotels may offer only the most basic guest services and facilities, while larger, higher-priced hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, a business center with computers, printers and other office equipment, childcare and conference services. Buildings recorded in the atlas as hotels are grouped under this concept.
