Abstract

The British law has defined hotel as 'a place where a bonafide traveler can receive food and shelter, provided he is in a position to pay for it and he is in a fit condition to receive it'. The main aim of the hotel is to provide food and shelter to the travelers for a price. Hotel industry is one of the oldest commercial endeavors in the world. The first inns were started in the 4th century BC when the wheel was invented. The earliest inns were ventures by a husband and wife team who provided entire service with modest food and recreations. The advent of industrial revolution in England brought ideas and progress in the business of inn keeping. The industrial revolution also changed travel from social or government travel to business travel. The lead in hotel keeping was taken by the emerging nations of Europe especially Switzerland. It was in Europe that the birth of an organized hotel industry took place in the shape of hotels that provided a variety of services and mainly patronized by the aristocracy of the day. Earlier in England, public houses were called Inns or Taverns. The name 'Inn' was reserved for the finer establishments catering to the nobility and clergy. The homes frequented by the common man were known as 'Taverns'.

In France a similar distinction was made with finer establishments known as hostelries. The Hostler was the head of the hotels whereas the same position in England was called the Innkeeper. The word hotel was used in England in about 1760. After the passage of over 80 years, in America lodging houses were called Inn or Coffeehouse.
