Types of the Hotels
Hotels (as well as other forms of accommodations) are generally sorted by the services and amenities offered. These two factors, along with location, also influence the price range.

Budget hotels offer clean though ordinary rooms that offer the essentials of places to sleep and shower. It is a haven for travelers who want to maximize their funds and minimize expenses. Costs usually vary from $20US per night to $70US per night.

Business hotels provide a high standard by catering rooms outfitted with all amenities. The usual of them found in business-class hotel rooms are high speed Internet connections, alarm clocks, comfortable beds, irons and ironing boards, coffee makers, complimentary newspaper delivery and hairdryers. Costs can vary from $80US to $250US per night. There you may also find an in-house restaurant, bar, exercise room and shuttle service to nearby airports. Concierge assistance is often included as well as room service, laundry and dry cleaning and wake-up calls.

Luxury hotels are known for their abundant decor and exclusive service. With better-quality amenities, accommodations at luxury hotels are planned to carefully coddle and impress guests. Many luxury hotels go far beyond the norm by catering a lifestyle experience close to or even better than what you have become used to at home.

Luxury hotels often provide full-service day spas, five-star restaurants with outstanding chefs, ballrooms, abundant pools, golf packages and guest services that are unmatched by any other class of hotel. Moreover luxury rooms generally include in-room safes, goose down comforters and pillows, marble showers and tubs, larger rooms, separate sitting or living area and fog-free bathroom mirrors plus, of course, those amenities found in business class hotels. Rates can range from $129US per night to $2,000US per night. Rates may vary greatly depending on location and proximity to popular events and attractions.

However, there are other classifications of hotels; but most will fall into one of these three or a combination of these three. As the borders between business and personal becoming more vague, many business executives will attend conferences or board on business trips with family. Hotels are aware of this occurrence and have become experts at offering facilities and services both business and recreational travelers.
