Hotel development:

Inn, in fact, also refers to the place where accommodation is the mainstay, which was handed down from ancient times. For example, Tongfu Inn in Wulin legend is a good example.

In the late Middle Ages, due to the prosperity of commercial trade, the number of inns increased. At that time, people mainly traveled by foot or carriage, so inns mainly appeared beside roads or post stations. At first, the inn only provided basic accommodation, so that passengers could have a place to stay and did not provide entertainment services.

In the era of great navigation, the scale of inns began to expand, and some inns have been able to provide more than 30 rooms, including wine cellar, pantry and kitchen, to meet more needs of guests. In addition, the environment has begun to improve. There are gardens and lawns next to the inn, and there are banquet halls and dance halls inside, which are moving towards modernization.

In modern times, inns began to be replaced by group hotels, because the service quality and accommodation environment of modern hotels were very high, and ancient inns could not compete with them, and disappeared in the long river of history.
