Many of my recent hotels stays were in units that have been recently remodeled to be suspiciously apartment-like: multiple rooms, working kitchen, laundry facilities, pet-friendly, etc.
I don't travel enough since the pandemic to know if this is a nation-wide trend, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a solid market for ABNB-like amenities with chain-hotel consistency.
- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoThere are chains that have been doing this for decades already; see TownePlace Suites by Marriott.
- danhak 5y agoIn my experience, TownePlace and similar brands tend to be located slightly out of the way, often in large commercial developments. Not always walkable or in the heart of where you want to be.
- handmodel 5y agoI absolutely love extended stay hotels. But also if I'm going to a national park with friends - AirBNB has unmatchable options. Perhaps that market is too niche to justify its investors goals (I'm sure most travel is still business travels) but AirBNBs fill an amazing niche.
