Bed & Breakfasts
The Bed and Breakfast industry began to blossom in the North America and
Mexico during the 1980s, and B & B's thrive today in large part because
they provide an atmosphere of warmth and coziness. There are B & B’s
to suit every taste and budget. From romantic & luxurious to historic
inns to rustic cabins in the woods and everything else in between. You can
find many theme B & B’s which include those who offer murder mystery weekends,
cooking classes, art retreats, fishing adventures and even Sushi on the Sea!
At great B & B's, "customers" are truly guests, and it shows. Innkeepers
will gladly help you find the best restaurant in town, point you to the most
romantic spot in the nearby park, and much more.
Most Bed & Breakfast innkeepers go out of their way to make sure your
stay provides some great memories. So if you have not experienced staying
at a B & B you should consider an adventurous weekend or one of the many
romantic packages that Bed & Breakfasts have to offer.
Hotels
The Hotel Industry is constantly changing to meet the demands of today’s
traveller. You can now find hotels that are perfect for longer stays with
full kitchens, wireless Internet, and on-site laundry all at a great price.
Many include breakfast and complimentary papers.
The Boutique hotel is a term popularised in North America & the United
Kingdom usually describing intimate, usually luxurious or quirky hotels. Boutique
hotels differentiate themselves from larger chain/branded hotels and motels
by providing personalized accommodation and services / facilities. Sometimes
known as "design hotels" or "lifestyle hotels", boutique hotels began appearing
in the 1980s in major cities like London, New York and San Fransico. Typically
boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish manner. Although usually
considerably smaller than mainstream hotels, often ranging from 3 to 100
guest rooms, some city-centre boutique hotels may have several hundred.
Boutique hotels are always individual and are therefore extremely unlikely
to be found amongs the homogenity of large chain hotel groups. Guest rooms
and suites may be fitted with telephones, Intenet, air-conditioning, and
often cable/pay TV, but equally may have none of these, focusing on quiet
and comfort rather than gadgetry. Guest services are often attended to
by 24-hour hotel staff. Many boutique hotels have on-site dining facilities,
and the majority offer bars and lounges which may also be open to the general
public.
Boutique hotels have typically been unique properties operated by individuals
or companies with a small collection. There is some overlap between the concept
of a small boutique hotel and a Bed and Breakfast.
