A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging, usually on a short-term basis.
The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed,
a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities,
including en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features found
in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, and Internet connectivity; snack foods and
drinks may be supplied in a mini-bar, and facilities for making hot drinks. Larger hotels may provide a
number of additional guest facilities such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or childcare, and have conference
and social function services.
An apartment is a self-contained housing unit that occupies only part of a building.
Apartments may be owned (by an owner-occupier) or rented (by tenants).
A common alternative term for apartment is 'flat'. The term "apartment" is favored in North America, whereas
the term "flat" is commonly, but not exclusively, used in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Commonwealth nations.
In Malaysian English, "flat" often denotes a housing block of lesser quality meant for lower-income groups,
while "apartment" is more generic and may also include luxury condominiums.In the US, some apartment-dwellers own
their own apartments, either as co-ops, in which the residents own shares of a corporation that owns the building
or development; or in condominiums, whose residents own their apartments and share ownership of the public spaces.
A villa was originally an upper-class country house, though since its origins in Roman times the idea
and function of a villa has evolved considerably. After the fall of the Republic, a villa became a small, fortified farming compound,
gradually re-evolving through the Middle Ages into luxurious, upper-class country homes. In modern parlance it can refer to
a specific type of detached suburban dwelling.
Bed and breakfast, also known as B&B, is a term, originating in the United Kingdom,
but now also used all over the world, for an establishment that offers accommodation and breakfast,
but usually does not offer other meals. Typically, bed and breakfasts are private homes with only one or
two bedrooms available for commercial use.
In modern usage, a cottage is a dwelling, typically in a rural, or semi-rural location
(although there are cottage-style dwellings in cities). In the United Kingdom, the term cottage tends to denote
a rurally- (sometimes village-) located one and a half storey property, where on the second (upstairs floor) one
has to walk into the eaves in order to look through the windows, which are generally located in dormers (the sort
of dwelling that some Americans call a Cape Cod). This sometimes means that the eave timbers intrude into the actual
living space, and quite often, especially in recent renovations, the relevant timbers (purlins, rafters, posts, etc)
can be exposed enhancing the cottage experience.
Guest House
A guest house is a private home which has been converted for the exclusive use of guest accommodation.
The owner usually lives in an entirely separate area within the property and the guest house may serve as a form of lodging business,
similar to a bed and breakfast. Perhaps the most famous example of an individual residing in a guest house was that of Brian "Kato" Kaelin,
who was living in such a dwelling on O.J. Simpson's property at the time that Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were murdered.
His presence there led to his later participation as a witness in Simpson's criminal and civil trials.
