169 years have passed since the advent of organized tourism - the first travel agency in history was opened by Thomas Cook in 1841. At the same time, few people know about a unified system for classifying hotel rooms: if the official star rating of hotels in most countries has already been sorted out, then with rooms everything is somewhat more complicated.

Of course, almost every hotel, the category of which is higher than two or three stars, can offer its guests standard, deluxe and suite rooms. But the quality and quantity of services provided in them can vary even within the same hotel. And all because there are various characteristics of the views from the windows, the functional purpose of the rooms (family, business) and even design (for example, the Mediterranean suite in blue tones or the Caribbean one in bright and tropical).

One thing can be said for sure: a standard room in any hotel in the world should be one small room with a bed, a separate shower room, a small closet and a TV. The bathroom of each room should also have a standard set of towels, soap and shower gel. By the way, in some countries, for example, in China, this set is always complemented by a comb, toothbrush and paste.

Common abbreviations

To begin with, it would be useful to understand the generally accepted abbreviations adopted by hoteliers around the world. If DBL (from the English "double" - double) or SGL ("single" - one, single), as a rule, does not cause any difficulties for anyone, then ciphers such as DUS (double use single - double number, which is used as single) or BG GV (bungalow garden view - a bungalow overlooking the garden) can mislead even the most sophisticated tourist.

Let's talk about the main abbreviations adopted in the hotel environment.

Accommodation types and their classification

DBL: classic double room with a double bed.

TWIN: same as DBL but with two single beds.

SGL: classic single room.

TRPL (tripl) : Triple room.

QDPL (quadripl) : quadruple room.

APT (Apartment) : — a two- or three-room suite (sometimes there are more rooms) with a kitchenette or a full-fledged kitchen. The number of bedrooms is indicated as follows: 1 BDRM and 2 BDRM - respectively, 1 and 2 bedrooms.

If you require an extra bed in the room, then you need an abbreviation EXB (extra bed).

+1 CHD: plus the child, in brackets - the age of the child (2-6) or (6-12). If the child is under two years old, then it is designated as INF (Infant) . Two children, respectively, +2 CHD , and so on.

“+CHD” can be preceded by both the above abbreviations (DBL, TWIN, SGL, TRPL, QDPL), and denoting the number of adults a little differently: 2 ADL or 2 AD , where 2 is the number, and ADL or AD is Adult, which means “adult” in English.

Numbers and their classification

standard (STD) : Standart room.

Superior: slightly larger than the standard room.

family room: family room, often consisting of two rooms.

Suite (STE) : in general, this is a room with a room and a separate sitting area (essentially with two rooms). In turn, it is divided into several subcategories: Mini (slightly better than Superior), Junior (a room and a separate seating area or a fenced-off sleeping place), Senior (Superior room with a full bedroom and living room), King and Executive (with two bedrooms).

Studio: single room with a small kitchenette.

luxury(sometimes deluxe): needs no translation, this is a number from high level comfort.

Honeymoon Room: special room for honeymooners.

In order to indicate which beds in a room, some designations are also used: rooms with “king beds” Kingsize Bed ( K; over 180 cm wide), Queen Bed ( Q), simple double beds Double Bed ( D; accordingly, if the room is equipped with two beds - there will be an abbreviation 2D).

Standart room

If the theater starts with a hanger, then the hotel starts with a regular standard room (STD). It is by its appearance that one can get a completely adequate idea of ​​the level of the hotel, the quantity and quality of the services provided in it. All standard rooms can be divided into doubles (double) and singles (single). Sometimes a triple (triple) is added to the palette of rooms, but most often the hotel administration offers an extra bed in a double room.

Depending on the star rating of the hotel, they can vary greatly. For example, a traditional single in a 2 * hotel will be very small in size, it will be difficult to fit a bed, bedside table and wardrobe. In addition, the cost of living will include cleaning no more than once a day (if you're lucky, or even less often), as well as changing linen and towels every 3-5 days. The set in the bathroom will be minimal: a towel, soap and sometimes shower gel.

A completely different picture will appear before vacationers in a single five-star hotel. A large comfortable bed, an armchair, a table with a mirror, daily cleaning, a complete cosmetic set in the bathroom, including all kinds of fragrant soaps and shower caps, a hairdryer, fluffy bathrobes and slippers, marble floors and TV with satellite channels.

Of course, the cost of such rooms varies greatly, even within the same hotel. What is not least influenced by the view from the window. Traditionally, the most expensive are scenic views on the sea, ocean, mountains or garden.

The only thing that unites hotel rooms around the world into some kind of system is the star classification, which obliges hotels to comply with a certain minimum area of ​​​​their rooms and a set of services in them. So, for example, in Iceland, a double room in a 3 * hotel must be at least 18 sq. m, single - 14. In a 4 * hotel, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe double room should be at least 24 square meters. m, and for one - 16 sq. m. In five-star hotels, doubles can boast 26 sq.m, singles - 18.

Also, everything is clearly spelled out by the Germans. All rooms in hotels of tourist class 1 * must be equipped with a hot shower and color TV, an area of ​​​​8 and 12 square meters. m. in single and double rooms, respectively. 2* - 12 and 16 sq. m, 3 * - 14 and 18 sq. m, 4 * - 16 and 22 sq. m, luxury rooms in 5 * hotels must be at least 18 and 26 sq. m.

In addition, it is worth noting that a full-fledged bathroom, and not a shower cabin, can only be expected from hotels of the 3 * level and above. When booking doubles, you should also be careful: after all, they are divided by type of bed - one double in a room (usually denoted by DBL) or two single beds (TWIN).

In hotels in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, you can also find this type of room as moderate (MOD). It cannot be attributed to either suites, or suites, or standard ones - it is rather something in between, close to STD. In Europe, the designations of such numbers as superior (SUP) - “improved” are more common.

Suite

Suite (which is also periodically called "suite" or "suite") comes from the English word suite, the translation of which means " kit' or 'kit'.

Suites are different: junior (junior), standard (standart), senior (senior), executive (executive), royal (royal), as well as any that the hotelier decided to realize. Starting with the "Mediterranean", "Caribbean" or honeymoon suite, and ending with the "embassy".

The lowest level in the hierarchy of suites is occupied by a junior (from the English. "junior"). Its area is approximately 20-25 square meters. m, which is slightly larger than a standard room, and it consists of one room, divided into two areas: relaxation and living room. And yet, the difference between junior suites and traditional rooms, in addition to size, is significant: satellite TV, DVD, Internet access, mini-bar and other options.

Standard suite is a two-room suite 25-40 sq. m. Here is the same filling as in the junior, the only difference is in size, including the bathroom.

He is followed by a senior (“senior”) or an executive, or a presidential (president suite). Accordingly, these are the most luxurious rooms in the hotel, which occupy from 3 to 7 rooms, have a private pool, sauna, entrance, butler, and so on.

Recently suites have become a fashionable trend, and many hotels specialize exclusively in such rooms. For example, Hilton has a chain of hotels Embassy Suites, the number of rooms of which consists exclusively of suites.

Suite

Suite (LUX), abbreviated from the English "luxury" - "luxury, luxurious." Accordingly, deluxe rooms are the most luxurious and, as a rule, only 4-5 * hotels have them. Thanks to the recommendation of the World Tourism Organization, the area of ​​suites starts from 30-35 sq. m, sometimes they consist of several rooms: a bedroom and a living room.

The cost of living per night in a suite, as a rule, is two times higher than in a standard room. But for this substantial premium, the hotels offer their guests luxurious decoration and furnishings, picturesque views from the window, a spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi, fluffy towels and bathrobes, and high-quality cosmetics. Sometimes the price of a suite includes free use of a mini-bar, swimming pool, fitness center. In addition, suites are sometimes deliberately placed on separate floors with their own reception, lobby, spa and restaurant.

In the Caribbean, USA, Mexico and some others, such rooms are also called deluxe (DLX).

Apartments

Apartments, in simple terms, are of two types: simpler / cheaper and chic / expensive. This fact depends on the star rating of the hotel. If this is a high-level hotel, then most likely the apartments in it will mean very expensive and comfortable rooms for discerning guests. Such apartments cannot be classified: they are unique even within the same hotel, the only thing that unites them is the size, which starts from two rooms and ends with two floors. And their design depends only on the wild imagination of the hotelier.

Hotels from 2 to 4 stars, as well as specialized apart-hotels, on the contrary, offer guests budget enough rooms for a large number of guests. It can be, for example, two-room apartments for four tourists.

Almost every apartment has a separate bedroom, its own living room, a large full bathroom and a full kitchen or cooking area. In addition, depending on its class - economy, luxury or business - they differ in furnishings and services. For example, luxury apartments, in addition to chic furnishings and an abundance of modern technology, offer their guests the services of a personal butler, massage in the room, a security guard, a personal car with a driver and a special menu: dietary, with a unique wine list, and so on. Business suites, as a rule, guarantee guests peace and quiet, high-speed Internet, office equipment - in a word, everything you need for a full-fledged work.

Honeymoon rooms

They are distinguished by romantic design, a large bed and a bathroom with a jacuzzi, as well as a specialized service - unique in each hotel. In addition to classic champagne and fruit in the room, some hotels in the Maldives offer unusual wedding ceremonies on the beach or a desert island, free access to spa centers or candlelit dinners on a yacht.

In the most romantic city in the world (Paris, of course), the Four Season Hotel George V invites newlyweds to stay in the Honeymoon Suite, which is located on the top eighth floor. Needless to say, the terrace of the "honey suite" offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower? And the Bellaggio Hotel in Las Vegas offers newlyweds gourmet chocolate made according to a special, "love" recipe.

In a word, today rooms for newlyweds can be found in almost all major cities world, mostly in 4-5* hotels.

Bungalow

Bungalow rooms, as a rule, are located in isolated small one- or two-story buildings scattered throughout the entire hotel complex. In each such building there are 2-4 bungalow rooms, and they can be deluxe or superior class, standard or luxury suites. This type of accommodation is found, for the most part, in beach resorts - in Greece, Turkey, and popular countries in Southeast Asia. Of course, a night in a bungalow is much more expensive than in a standard room (located in the main building of the hotel). They are chosen, as a rule, by lovers of silence and solitude.

Villa

This type of accommodation is exclusively for the rich, demanding clients who value privacy and independence. As a rule, villas are conveniently located somewhere close to the main entertainment and infrastructure of the main building of the hotel or hotel complex, while with maximum comfort for their guests. One-, two-story chic houses with private pools, saunas and gardens also offer guests the services of personal butlers, secretaries or chefs. You can rent a villa both for a long period (a month or two), and for the traditional two weeks, while the price does not depend on the number of residents.
