Hotels are often classified according to the hotel size, location, target markets, levels of service, facilities provided, number of rooms, ownership, and affiliation, to name a few. As future sales managers, it is important to know each classification because the guest level of expectations is often aligned with the type of hotel. Below is a link of hotel classifications that I would like for you to look at as well as the lecture and your reading.
select two classifications that you might be interested in working in and provide the following:
An overview of the two hotel classifications and their unique features. (three to five features)
What type of guests (target market) would appeal to this hotel classification.
Name one hotel that fits into each classification and why you feel it matches that classification.
