as well as create expenditures (accessibility and operation factor costs) and, as a result, to economic productivity and
hotel profitability. The basis of the location is one of the most important aspects of a hotel's classification. For
instance, when it comes to hotels that cater to business travelers that travel to meet lots of meetings, location is really
important. Such establishments are classified as 'business hotels' for the present study.

Location Analysis
Location is a critical consideration because it impacts your ability to draw customers. It is important that your
location be visible, accessible, convenient and attractive to your market. Surrounding land uses are important for all
types of lodging operations. High traffic volume is very important. Aesthetics of the area, noise, safety and other
factors should be considered. How you evaluate your location will depend on the type of property you are considering
and the customers you hope to serve.
Hotels benefit from high visibility and proximity to generators of room night demand. Local colleges, hospitals,
attractions, services and entertainment are examples of “room night” demand generators. Be sure to consider future
growth patterns when analyzing your location.
Hotels in resort areas generate most of their business form leisure travelers who see the lodging facility and
surrounding area as their “destination.” Access and visibility, while important, are secondary to the quality of the
facility, services, amenities, and nearby attractions.
Different types of lodging operations will have different location requirements. Analyze your location using the
factors listed below. Be sure to consider other location criteria to your particular hotel development.
 Description of Immediate Area – commercial profile, adjacent land uses, proposed developments, safety,
and availability of nearby services (food, services, shopping)
 Proximity to Demand Generators – businesses, colleges, hospitals and other institutions, convention
facilities, and tourist attractions (museums, historical sites, recreation).
 Traffic Volume – highway/street traffic counts and traffic patterns
 Accessibility – proximity to major streets and highways, ease of entrance and exit
 Other Issues – Site size and social, political and environmental concerns related to development downtown.
