 Great Travels
|
German Hotels: Hotels are generally grouped in four main categories: commercial or transient hotels; resort hotels; residential hotels; and motels, or motor hotels. In the United States about 75% of the hotel rooms (excluding motels) are in commercial hotels, 16% in resort hotels (both summer and winter seasons), and the remaining 9% in residential hotels. About 80% of the American motel rooms are in commercial establishments and the remainder in resort motels.
9. Spas and Health Resorts If there is anything in the encyclopedia of ailments that German hotels spas can't cure or aid it escapes me at the moment. About 25 curative spas are considered specially important along with dozens more that are adequately equipped, and all of them have hotels and more hotels. The bigger places are play resorts as well as medical goals for the afflicted. German hotels friends of mine who know what cures what tell me that I should stress Bad Nauheim for the treatment of heart afflictions, Reichenhall, Baden-Baden and Badenweiler, for rheumatic or catarrhal troubles, and Aachen also for rheumatism. For a lively sojourn —and hang your ailments, if any!—Baden-Baden seems to offer everything and Wiesbaden almost everything.
The first great customers ir commercial hotels were traveling salesmen, imetimes called "commercial travelers," and irly hotels were almost always built in or very ose to railroad stations, so patrons would not ive to wrestle their bags and sample cases to ss convenient locations. The British railways jilt many of the first large hotels at their ations throughout the United Kingdom, and e hotels of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian ational railways were early Canadian landmarks, st as various "depot hotels" sprang up along the ilroad lines as the American frontier moved est during the great hotel-building period fol-wing the Civil War. At the same time, hotels ', la gare were opening in every city in Europe.
