IN A HOTEL
What are the different room types
in hotels?
In the hotel industry, the days of hotels only offering guests standard rooms are
long gone! Nowadays, there is a myriad of room types and suites at hotels around
the world meaning that any group size and most preferences can be catered for.
Of course, variously sized and styled hotel rooms are made available at differing
rates which, as a hotel management company, we recommend
adjusting depending upon occupancy, time of year, and other factors.
Rooms tend to fall into categories when it comes to price bands, the type of
décor, whether a room is pool-side or ocean-side… Images and descriptions of
main features and amenities applying to each room category will usually be
included on a hotel’s brand website and across its distribution channels.
Different types of rooms in hotels
Resorts rooms : luxurious accommodations that offer guests a comfortable
and upscale stay during their vacation. These rooms typically feature
premium amenities such as plush bedding, high-end furniture, and high-tech
gadgets. Resort rooms can vary in size and style, from cozy studios to
spacious suites with private balconies and ocean views.
Boutique creative rooms : Creative rooms in boutique hotels can range from
themed suites with elaborate decor and furnishings, to quirky spaces with
unexpected touches and features.
Lodge rooms : These rooms offer a cozy and rustic accommodation option
for travelers looking to experience the great outdoors.

more revenue (yielding).
