Hotels after the Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, hotels were very prosperous. As far as business projects are concerned, there are various types of hotels. For example, in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were wine shops, tea houses, steamed buns shops, houses (as hungry as official houses outside), leisure hotels (ordinary hotels) and warehouse hotels (with prostitutes).

As far as business flavor is concerned, Kaifeng and Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty have northern restaurants, southern restaurants and Sichuan restaurants, as well as "Ro hotels" with Shandong and Hebei flavors.

As far as hotel grades are concerned, there are "head offices" and small hotels. "Zhengdian" hotels are more advanced, mostly in the name of "architecture", serving dignitaries and literati. According to the Tokyo Dream Record:

(Kaifeng) Maiquyuan Street is connected to Xianwuzheng Store in the south. There is a building in front and a platform in the back. People call it a "stage". This restaurant is the most popular in the hotel, with 72 cents for silver bottle wine and 8 1 cent for mutton wine.

Zhengdong Renhe Store and Xinmenli Huixian Restaurant are the main stores, and often have a 100 minute hall, so that each foot can match one thing. In Beijing, people are extravagant and the measurement is slightly wider. No matter who is in the hotel, only two people sit and drink, and they must also use a pair of bowls, two pairs of dishes, five fruits and vegetables, and three or five fruit bowls, which is nearly a hundred taels of silver.

The consumption level of this luxury hotel is so high that ordinary people never dare to expect it.

The other is ordinary or low-level hotels.

After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, restaurants generally refer to big hotels with tall buildings and high service levels, while hotels gradually refer to restaurants specializing in wine, with no or only simple dining tables.

As far as ownership is concerned, there are private kitchen hotels, vegetarian kitchens run by temples and official hotels.
