Ngeenkampani zehotele ngoku ezixhasa izifundo zokulala, zikhupha oomatrasi abanophawu, kwaye zide zipapashe iincwadana zokulala, ukhuphiswano lokuphumelela abathengi kunye neeapos; Ukunyaniseka ngokubathembisa ubusuku obubhetele kunye nokuphumla kuthetha ukuba ukubeka umatrasi ophezulu womqamelo kunye namashiti akumgangatho ophezulu ebhedini kungasenokwanela. Ukuhlala ngaphambili, iihotele zikhupha amanyathelo okulala ngokupheleleyo.

Iimfazwe zebhedi, njengoko zona & apos; zaziwa kakhulu kolu shishino, ziye zanda ngokukhawuleza. Basele belulutho kwiinkampani ezinkulu zoomatrasi, apho iPricewaterhouseCoopers iqikelela ukuba iza kuthengisa i-1.4 yeebhiliyoni zeebhedi kwiihotele ngo-2005 kuphela — ephantse yaliphinda kabini inani abalithengisileyo kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo. Intshukumo yokuqalisa ukunyanzela iihotele ngaphandle kweenkqubo zokulala ezinophawu lokufumana enye ukuze zikhuphisane, utshilo uJoseph McInerney, umongameli kunye ne-CEO yeAmerican Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) eWashington, DC baphume neebhedi ezintsha kuba yile nto ifunwa ngabathengi babo, utshilo.

Idibeneyo: IiBhedi zeehotele ezininzi

Uninzi lwekhredithi i-Starwood kunye neeapos zaseWestin iihotele kunye neehotele ngokuqala umkhwa kwiminyaka emithandathu eyadlulayo xa wazisa iBhedi yaseZulwini. Ibhedi yokuqala egunyaziswe yinkampani yehotele kwaye yanikwa igama lophawu, iBhedi yaseZulwini yahlawuliswa njenge 'oasis yomhambi odiniweyo,' kwaye yayijongeka njengenxalenye: idayvet emhlophe eqaqambileyo, ingubo phantsi, iintsiba ezintlanu nezantsi imiqamelo, imicu yokubala enemisonto engama-230 (iphepha elinye libekwe phezu kwengubo, umkhwa owaziwa ngokuba lishiti kathathu), kunye noomatrasi beSimmons abali-1 1/2-intshi-obukhulu kunye nekhoyili ezingama-900. Kunyaka omnye, iWestin yanyusa amazinga ayo okuhlala kwaye yayiqale ukusebenza kwintengiso yokuthengisa nakweyiphi na ihotele, ithengisa iBhedi yaseZulwini kwiWebhusayithi yayo. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngabantu abangama-30,000 abathengile izinto ezithengiswayo kwindawo yaseWestin; I-7,000 ithenge yonke iseti yobukhulu bendlovukazi eyi- $ 2,565.

Ngo-2003, i-Starwood ilandele impumelelo yayo ngokusungula iSweet Sleeper kwikhonkco layo laseSheraton, kwaye kutshanje, iBhedi yokuThuthuzela ezine kwiiNdawo zayo ezine kwiihotele zaseSheraton. Kunyaka ophelileyo, uRadisson waqala ukutshintsha oomatrasi abangama-90,000 ngebhedi yokulala yeNombolo, evumela izibini zilungelelanise ukuqina kwecala ngalinye lomatrasi wazo zodwa zisebenzisa irimothi.

Iihotele zaseMarriott nezaseRenaissance zaqala ukufumana oomatrasi abatsha kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo, kodwa ngoJanuwari, uMarriott wathi izakuthatha indawo yoomatrasi kunye nazo zonke izinto zokulala kumatyathanga asibhozo. I-JW Marriott, iMarriott kunye ne-Renaissance baya kufumana ezona bhedi zingcono: umatrasi ongaphezulu ngomqamelo, iisheyiphu zokubala imicu engama-300, imithwalo emithandathu, idyvet emhlophe, kunye nesikhafu sebhedi esihombisa unyawo lombhede. Yonke le projekthi, eya kuthi ikhutshwe ngo-2005, iya kuxabisa inkampani malunga ne- $ 190 yezigidi, kubandakanya neenzame zentengiso. IMarriott ikwathengisa ngeebhedi zayo emgceni ngeli hlobo.

IHyatt & apos; Grand Bed isendleleni yazo zonke iihotele zeGrand Hyatt kunye neHyatt Regency eMelika, Canada naseCaribbean ngasekupheleni konyaka. Ihotele & apos; ibhedi entsha yi-13-intshi-eshinyeneyo, phezulu komqamelo iSealy Posturepedic enama-250-intambo yokubala ishiti kathathu kunye ne-duvet ezantsi endaweni yendawo yokulala endala.

Idibeneyo: Iipilili ezili-15 zeNeck Best

Ngeemfazwe zebhedi ezijikelezayo ngokupheleleyo, uninzi lweenkqubo ezintsha zokwenza iibhedi zibe zezakho. W Iihotele ngoku zinenkonzo yangorhatya; abagcini bezindlu bahambisa i-lavender-filled pillow insert, i-eye pillow, kunye ne-lavender ioli ebalulekileyo kwiindwendwe & apos; amagumbi ngokuhlwa ngokujikeleza i-o & apos; iwotshi. Inkqubo entsha yeCrowne Plaza kunye neApos yokugcina amagumbi aneeklipthi zekhethini (ukuthintela ukukhanya), iipoyinti, kunye neCD zokulala ezidlala umculo opholileyo. I-Kimpton ibeke oomatrasi abade kakhulu be-96-intshi-ende kwamanye amagumbi kwiindwendwe ezinde. I-Loews kunye neapos; Ukubuyiswa kwe-concierge kuhambisa oomatshini abanengxolo emhlophe kunye neemaski zamehlo. Kukho amarhe okuba ezinye iihotele zilungiselela ukwazisa iimenyu ezikhethekileyo ze-duvet, kunye neebhedi apho iindwendwe zingathoba okanye ziphakamise kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo.

Ezi nkqubo ziyanda njengoko ishishini lehotele linyuka kwimeko yokudodobala iminyaka emithathu. Inzuzo yehotele inyuke nge-13.3 yeepesenti ngo-2004 ngaphezulu kuka-2003, kwaye inkampani yophando ngobubele i-PKF Consulting ilindele ukuba inyuke nge-14 yepesenti kulo nyaka. Abahlalutyi bathi ukunyuka kwemfuno yamagumbi ehotele-ngakumbi kumaxabiso aphezulu-kuye kwabangelwa ngabakhenkethi beshishini, abanee-akhawunti zabo zeendleko ezibavumela ukuba bangabinazindleko kwiindleko kunabahambi bokuzonwabisa.

Ngelixa la malinge ebiza kakhulu, abaphathi kumatyathanga amakhulu bayakhuthazwa yinto yokuba iindwendwe zibonakala ngathi zikulungele ukuhlawula ngakumbi igumbi elinebhedi engcono. Kwimeko yase Westin & apos, uphando lubonise ukuba iindwendwe zalo ziya kuhlawula phakathi kwe- $ 12 kunye ne- $ 20 ngaphezulu ngobusuku. UMarriott ulindele ukuba akwazi ukubiza ukuya kuthi ga kwiidola ezingama-30 ngaphezulu ngobusuku kwihotele yakhe iMarriott yeehotele, kuba abathengi babona umgangatho wegumbi uphakamile ngombhede obutofotofo ngakumbi. Kwaye ukutyhala ukwenza umfanekiso webhedi ophuculweyo kuhluza kwiihotele ezinamaxabiso asezantsi, nazo. Uphando lukaMarriott kunye ne-apos lubonakalisile ukuba kwiindwendwe kwezi ndawo, iibhedi eziphezulu zanele ukugcina iindwendwe zithembekile, utshilo uMarsha Scarbrough, Marriott & ampos; usekela mongameli wecebo lemveliso yohlobo. Umgangatho omtsha weResidence Inn, iNkundla, kunye neFairfield Inn brand (phakathi kwezinye izinto) ngoku ngumatrasi onama-intshi alithoba, ukusuka kwii-intshi ezine ezidlulileyo kwezinye iimeko. Ii-Inns zokuhlala ngoku ziya kufumana amaphepha amathathu. 'Abahambi bafuna ukulala ebhedini ubuncinci njengebhedi entle ekhaya,' itsho i-AHLA & apos; McInerney. 'Ngoku, akukho sizathu sokuba bangakwazi & apos;'

Ubunzima bematrasi, ukubala kwekhoyili, iincopho zomqamelo — zonke ziyasebenzisana ukwenza ibhedi esemgangathweni. Kodwa, ngokukaNancy Shark, isithethi seVirginia esekwe kwiZiko leMveliso yokuLala yaMazwe ngaMazwe, izinto ezinje ngohlobo lwogwebu, inani lezendlalelo nokuba umatrasi unamagumbi omoya abalulekile ngokulinganayo. Ngokumalunga namashiti, nangona ukubalwa kwemisonto kubalulekile, iingcali zithi wakufika kuma-300, kukho umahluko omncinci okhoyo. Yintoni eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu nelaphu - ilaphu elicocekileyo lase-Egypt lisoloko lixubusha umxube we-cotton-polyester.
