“Hotel Business” section is a sort of guide to the basic terminology in the hotel industry. Many new expressions appear annually in the tourist industry. Even so, hundreds of words, concerning hotel business, are still unknown by the most of the tourists. Telling you about hotel business at our portal “City of Hotels”, we will try to bridge this unfortunate gap.

In "Hotel Classification" section we give that part of terminology that can be met by a tourist during his /her journeys. It is no secret that the hotels in different countries have their own peculiarities. Even such a common place as a registration desk can be called absolutely differently. Of course, basically that concerns small private hotels. In the hotels of the huge international chains such as Hilton or Accor, you won’t need much effort to determine the location of the main hotel services.

Hotel Services

Hotel services vary by property, room and booking terms. Before you reserve, check the exact listing for what is included, what costs extra and when a service is available; familiar labels do not guarantee the same offer everywhere.

Hotel Staff

A hotel team combines guest-facing work with the departments that maintain rooms and coordinate the property. Titles and staffing vary by hotel, so use role descriptions to understand typical functions rather than assume that every property has the same roster.
