Hotels have a very long history. The first evidence of hospitality industry and hotels has been recorded at biblical times. Do you remember Joseph and Mary when they came to Bethlehem? According to the Bible, Joseph and Mary were refused lodging as there was no room in. Since that time a lot has changed, but people all over the world still travel for religion, health, education, family and relaxation.

The world “hospitality” has Latin origin and its root means “hospice” or “host”.

According to the research of Texas Tech University, the fist hotels were private homes, available to the public. Unfortunately, the majority of these homes didn’t have a good reputation.

The first American inn was recorded in 1607 and the first City Hotel was opened in New York in 1792. Nowadays America is flooded with luxurious hotels such as Hilton, Radisson and Marriot.
