Situated in the heart of historic Mont-Tremblant village, on the shores of Lac Mercier and just minutes from the mountain, Hôtel Mont-Tremblant has been accommodating vacationers since 1902. The transient hotel mont tremblant is usually located within city boundaries and caters to people traveling for business or pleasure. Motor hotels or motels cater to the same group of persons, but are often situated near or along major highways. Both hotels and motels provide numerous amenities in addition to sleeping accommodations, including maid service, radio and television, parking space for automobiles, recreational facilities, food and beverage services, and retail shops. Conventions are the most important source of income for some hotels and motels. In the U.S., for example, it is estimated that some 10 million people attend conventions each year. Conventions assure a steady income both from sleeping accommodations and from meeting rooms, which are used for conferences and lectures. Dining facilities are the source of additional revenue through the sale of food and beverages. Local residents also use the catering services, meeting rooms, and ballrooms for social functions and business meetings. Resort hotels and motels usually are located in seaside, lake, or mountain areas, and they cater to tourists and vacationers. Resorts provide all hotel mont tremblant services plus recreational and athletic activities. In recent years, the hotel mont tremblant industry has experienced tremendous growth as a result of the increase in tourism in resort areas such as the Caribbean islands, the Mediterranean region, and Hawaii. With the growing popularity of winter vacations, many resorts have become year-round institutions. In cold climates skiing and other winter sports are enjoyed by vacationers. Conventions help to assure off-season occupancy of resort properties. The residential hotel mont tremblant caters to permanent residents rather than to travelers. These hotels are similar to apartment buildings except that they provide maid and valet service, and often have dining facilities. Lodgings are available on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. Inns have served travelers since ancient times. The emergence of the hotel mont tremblant as a significant commercial institution, however, is a development of the past few centuries and may be traced by example in the U.S. The location of hotels has always been related to the transportation available. During colonial times hotels were usually situated in seaport towns, but by the end of the 18th century, when the stagecoach had increased travel within the U.S., many inns and taverns were constructed to offer lodgings along highway routes. After the construction of railroads in the 19th century, larger hotels were built near railroad stations to accommodate railway travelers. Standards of service and comfort rose appreciably and in the larger cities the types of lodging offered by certain hotels became luxurious. The old Waldorf-Astoria hotel mont tremblant in New York City and the Brown Palace in Denver, Colorado, were among the first such luxury hotels, but their rates were too high for the average traveler. Shortly before World War I large hotels offering many services at prices within the reach of middle-income groups were constructed. The first such institution was the Statler hotel mont tremblant in Buffalo, New York, which opened in 1908. For years it served as a model for other large-city transient hotels. The general prosperity following World War I made travel possible for more people, and the volume of hotel mont tremblant construction increased greatly. Because of the growing importance of business travel, most new hotels were situated near central business areas. During this period the tourist court, the direct antecedent of the motel, was established; most offered only minimal accommodations and no luxuries. We stood in the living room of Villa Verona, a 15,400 square-foot palazzo perched atop the Las Vegas Hilton. Gilded domes, frescoed with sweeping clouds and hanging gardens, framed chandeliers of 24-karat gold and crystal. Their opulence was reflected in the marble floors, polished to mirror perfection. A broad arch opened to a garden with private pool. Goldfish cruised lazily in a rock-rimmed pond. In one of the two bedrooms, painted cherubs smiled down as a massive raised bed and a 60-channel projection TV screen dropped from the ceiling. Hanging in the bathrooms of Italian marble and French onyx were Egyptian-cotton towels, robes, and slippers. In the 1920s, professional schools of hotel mont tremblant management were created to prepare Americans for positions in the industry. Technical schools were also established to train skilled employees such as chefs. Today many colleges and universities offer a degree in hotel mont tremblant administration, and trade schools provide courses in both hotel mont tremblant and restaurant work. European-trained personnel also go to the U.S. to work in the hotel mont tremblant industry, where their skills are welcomed. Another significant trend begun in the 1920s was toward corporate rather than individual ownership of hotels. This was the result of the steadily increasing costs of building and operating hotels. Chain operation in the hotel mont tremblant and motel industry is a continuing trend in the U.S. and abroad. It allows for efficient management through the use of mass purchasing, central reservations and billings, and extensive advertising and promotion campaigns. Today about 30 percent of all American hotels and motels are affiliated with chains or franchised groups. During World War II the hotel mont tremblant business flourished. No new hotels were built, but existing establishments were occupied nearly to capacity at all times. Because of the growing importance of automobile travel soon after World War II, almost all the new hotels built then were located near highways. By the late 1950s motels began to rival hotels by offering a broader range of services and facilities. Motels have increased greatly in number during the last 30 years, and the number of hotels has decreased somewhat. Today the motor hotel mont tremblant, offering the convenience of the motel and the service of the hotel mont tremblant, is becoming popular. More efficient transportation and the growing importance of air travel have reduced the need for accommodations along highways. Motor hotels are now being built within the boundaries of large cities and near airports. To deal with stiffer competition, a growing trend has been for hotels and motels to offer greater conveniences, such as faxing and photocopying for business travelers. Low hotel mont tremblant occupancy rates in the 1970s led to the development of budget motels, with cheaper lodging and fewer amenities. Country inns and bed-and-breakfasts have also grown in popularity since the 1970s; often located in rural areas, they offer a homey atmosphere and personal service.
