center, as a meeting center, as a
banquette, as a restaurant, as a health
club and various other functions. A
resort could be day serving and night
serving, and it provides the cuisine
service.
HISTORY:

Historically, the oldest resorts can be

traced back to the Roman empire of
nearly two thousand years ago. The
ancient Romans created a public
leisure facility known as Baths that
could be used by both men and
women separately.

The first luxury resort was built in

1829 in Boston, Massachusetts. It was
called the Tremont House
