## 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.
