Why are some hotels called express hotels and others called business hotels? What's the difference?

The first thing to say about this problem is the enumeration of hotel names. Many years ago, it was called a guest house, a hotel, a restaurant, a hotel and so on. With the evolution of time, newly-built hotels are called hotels, which is more appropriate to the English meaning of hotels. Hostel, hotel and other names have become the product of the past era.

Hotels, in order to solve the different grades and scales, have appeared various conventional prefixes, such as express hotels, business hotels, star-rated hotels, and more and more theme hotels, smart hotels and holiday hotels in recent years. There are also some lesser-known titles, such as green hotel (gold leaf level, silver leaf level). So many prefixes are for the function of the hotel, so people can know what the characteristics of this hotel are at a glance. So basically you need to know a hotel, and you can know its grade and scale by looking at the prefix.

In addition, the names of these hotels also have the feeling of climbing high branches:

2. Business hotel.
