Hotels
Hotels are large buildings offering rooms and many other services. Within cities, hotels vary in atmosphere, level of service and price. At the top are the luxury hotels. They have elegant restaurants and fancy ballrooms where glittering social events are held. Next in line are hotels catering to the first class business traveller. These will be expensive, with business services and meeting rooms available. Large hotels in cities also cater to tourists, with appropriate services (like tour organization and theater tickets) and restaurants. Lower down the scale are modestly priced hotels and lowest are the seedy type of hotels that give the centers of cities a bad name. Resort areas also have hotels of various levels, often quite luxurious and expensive. Outside of the cities, in airports and in suburban areas, the larger hotels are located on highways, cater to the business traveler, and are fairly standard. Most rent out conference rooms. Many will have swimming pools and health club facilities, along with several restaurants. Major hotel chains are Hilton, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Raddison and Sheraton.
