A hotel in Africa is much the same as an establishment in Europe and the
rest of the world. The main purpose is to provide lodging, generally on
a short-term basis. Hotels often provide a number of supplementary guest
services such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or activities. Some hotels
have conference services and promote groups to hold conventions and meetings
at their locality.
A hotel provides accommodation to the travelling community normally has
a reception area and offers as a minimum breakfast. In general a hotel
makes food and beverage services available to its guests.
Accommodation has en-suite bathrooms and other features like television,
a telephone and room service. Food and drink may be supplied by a small
refrigerator (usually referred to as "mini-bar") containing
snacks and drinks (to be paid for on departure), and tea and coffee making
facilities (cups, spoons, an electric kettle and sachets containing instant
coffee, tea bags, sugar, and creamer or milk).
The cost and quality of hotels are usually indicative of the range and
type of services available. Due to the enormous increase in tourism in
Africa, standards, especially those of smaller establishments, have improved
noticeably. For the sake of greater comparability, evaluation systems
have been introduced, with the one to five stars categorization being
most common.
Africa has been awarded with some of the best Hotels in the world. Many
top brands have entered the local travel market and provide first class
accommodation and services throughout southern and east Africa.
