Multi-branded Hotels
Notes on penner_2013_hotel-design#Chapter 5 Multi-branded Hotels:
Multi-branded hotels first appeared as separate buildings on a shared parcel with shared amenity spaces, then later as a single building.
Critique of Listed Advantages of Multi-branded Hotels
By my reading, the only inherent advantage of multi-branded hotels is the shared investment.
Many of those listed in the text break down when considered in comparison to a single-brand hotel of size equal to the multi-brand in question.
- Meeting space becomes more cost-effective. A ballroom might not be feasible to build and operate for one hotel alone but when shared by two, it becomes viable.
I suppose this makes sense if compared to the case that the parcel was split between the two brands and each built entirely separate facilities adjacent to each other, but that just doesn't seem realistic.
Or maybe you're a hotel brand exec deciding on the next construction project and you really need another ballroom but your budget for construction wouldn't normally allow it.
