Is a hotel established five years ago considered a new hotel?

Not counted

Currently, the number of hotels exceeds demand in many cities, and hotel products are highly homogeneous. Due to the hotel smart choice craze in the late 1990s, a large number of high-star old hotels have been produced, and their operation difficulties are also constantly emerging. The so-called "old hotel problem" refers to the phenomenon that star-rated hotels that have been in business for more than ten years and were once famous and prosperous in the local area are now facing operating difficulties. This also includes those hotels that have been in business for less than 10 years but have become Star-rated hotels that have no competitiveness in the market and are facing elimination. For example, the Overseas Chinese Building in many places was once a landmark building that witnessed reform and opening up in various places, and received many tourists and overseas Chinese at home and abroad. However, today its former glory no longer exists, and most of its economic benefits are poor.

The quality of hardware facilities is an important evaluation indicator for hotel star rating, and it is also an important reference standard for guests to choose star-rated hotels. Aging and obsolete hardware facilities are a reality that any hotel that has been operating for a long time has to face, and it is inevitable even if it is maintained. At the same time, these hotels are also facing the challenge of new products that are more environmentally friendly and more comfortable. Aging and obsolete facilities lead to lower customer occupancy rates and lower room prices, which are fatal problems for old star-rated hotels.
