A resort is a luxurious place used by visitors during vacations and holidays. Found in tourist-friendly locales, a resort provides a variety of services, including lodging, shipping, dining, relaxation, and entertainment. Typically, resorts boast additional attractions such as golf, skiing, watersports, casino play, and fitness facilities. The rooms in resort hotels include many luxury features intended to provide the guest with relaxation. In addition to upscale furniture, full kitchens, and comfortable king or queen size beds, resort rooms include luxury bathrooms complete with a jacuzzi tub, vanity mirror, and a massaging shower head (additional features are unique to the resort).
A boutique hotel is an intimate, luxurious hotel that provides personalized accommodations and services. Boutique hotels are usually styled with expensive and elegant furnishings and fixtures. Smaller than common hotels, a boutique typically contains only a few dozen guest rooms. As each boutique is unique; some may have high-tech guest rooms with many electronic appliances, while others may opt for intimate rooms without the gadgetry. In line with providing a luxurious lodging experience, boutiques feature spa bathrooms complete with jacuzzi bath tubs.
An eco-hotel is an economically friendly, urban-centric hotel. The property utilizes renewable energy, recycled furnitures and appliances, and limited environmental impact. These hotels are certified green by third party sources due to their energy-efficient practices. Eco-hotels are fairly new, and offer the same amount of relaxation and luxury as resort hotels. The spa bathrooms are nearly identical to five-star hotels, except eco-hotels use organic soap. The water used by the spa bathroom is reused for gardening and landscaping.
Spa hotels are premium hotels specializing in spa and fitness. These hotels include a wide range of services promoting physical wellness, including massage and facial centers, workout rooms, saunas and pool areas. After visiting one of the provided services, guests can go straight to their hotel room, which is customized to provide a relaxing experience. The bathroom enhances the spa treatment with its jacuzzi bathtub and massaging shower head.
