Classification of Hotels by Size Hotels can be categorized based on the number of rooms they offer. The classification helps in understanding the scale of operations, target markets, and architectural considerations. Modern hospitality standards classify hotels into the following size categories:

1. Small-Sized Hotels (0–99 rooms) Small-sized hotels typically offer an intimate and personalized guest experience. These properties often include boutique hotels, luxury inns, and independently owned establishments. Example: • Four Seasons Hotel New York – This luxury hotel features 52 rooms, emphasizing exclusivity and premium service.

2. Medium-Sized Hotels (100–299 rooms) Medium-sized hotels are common in urban and suburban areas, catering to business and leisure travelers. Many mid-scale chain hotels fall into this category. Example: • Hyatt Regency Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – This hotel has 261 rooms and provides a balance between business and leisure accommodations.

3. Large Hotels (300–500 rooms) Large hotels serve a high number of guests and often feature extensive facilities such as multiple restaurants, conference rooms, and recreational amenities. These hotels are typically found in major metropolitan areas and key tourist destinations. Examples of brands with large hotels: • Marriott Hotels • Hilton Hotels • Hyatt Regency • Radisson Hotels

4. Very Large Hotels (501–1,000 rooms) Hotels in this category are often designed to accommodate large conferences, conventions, and large-scale events. They are commonly located in major cities with high tourist traffic. Examples of locations with very large hotels: • Las Vegas • Orlando • Chicago • New York City Examples of very large hotel brands: • Marriott Marquis • Hilton Hotels & Resorts • Hyatt Regency

5. Mega Hotels (1,000+ rooms) Mega hotels are characterized by their massive scale, often forming part of integrated resorts, casinos, or major convention centers. These properties are designed to accommodate thousands of guests simultaneously. Notable examples of mega hotels: • MGM Grand Las Vegas (over 6,800 rooms) • The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas (over 7,000 rooms) • First World Hotel, Malaysia (over 7,300 rooms, one of the largest in the world) This classification provides a standardized framework to categorize hotels based on their lettable room size, helping travelers and industry professionals distinguish properties based on the size and scale of operations.
