How to train correctly? I told in this article.

After training, a great way to reinforce the material is to play situations on this topic.

« Welcome to the hotel California, such a lovely place, such a lovely place, such a lovely place.” - Eagles

Today we will analyze the topic of hotels, check-in and stay. And also expressions with them.

About that, I already wrote, now let's talk about the settlement.

A bit of history. Where did hotels come from? The history of hotels dates back to ancient times.

Trade relations have always served as an impetus for the emergence of new hotels. Merchants traveled through the cities and often stayed out in the open. A little later, rooms were built for them, which were surrounded by a high wall. The wall protected not only from wind and bad weather, but also from robbers.

The Romans built mansions to receive travelers. In the Middle Ages, monasteries and abbeys served as a refuge for wanderers.

The word hotel originates from the Anglo-Saxon "hospitality", which means hospitality (from the old French "hospice", which means a strange foster home). Now the hospice is used in a different meaning. Here you can draw an analogy with Hospital. Hospital, hospital.
Then this word turned into a hostel. Now we have a Hotel. Updated.

For centuries, hotels were simple: Two floors, on the first - a tavern, on the second - a bedroom. And a stable nearby. All this can be called an inn.

Inns, the forerunners of the first hotels, appeared in the 12th-13th centuries. They rested and changed horses. These inns - "pits", as they were called, were located one from the other at a distance of horse crossing.
In the XV century. Numerous postal stations are being created, which are in charge of the Yamsky order.

Those hotels that we have now acquired their divine appearance not at all on the lands of Eurasia, but in the USA. It happened around the middle of the 19th century, when full-fledged rooms with amenities appeared. The first hotel opened in the USA was the City Hotel with 70 rooms on Broadway in New York.

Well, what is the result? We see that american type hotels are present in all cities of the world.


The most famous are Hilton , Holiday Inn, Sheraton , Kempinski, marriot, Ritz, InterContinental.

So, let's see what we need in the hotel. Watch this dialogue. This is the first thing to do in a hotel. Then you just need to be able to use phrases correctly.

Good afternoon, sir. What can I do for you?

I'd like a single room with a bath for two nights.

Did you book in advance?

Oh, no, I didn't know I'd come to this town.

Well, let me see… Sorry, sir, we’re rather full up , I can give you a room with a shower only.

All right, I'll take it. How much is it per night?

37 pounds, breakfast included.

Can I have a continental breakfast?

Yes, of course. Will you fill in the registration form, please?

Here you are.

All right, sir, here's your key. Room 215 on the second floor. The boy will show you up.

I would also recommend reading Arthur Hailey's The Hotel. A book you can't put down. It is believed that Haley writes in the genre of a production novel. That is, what field of activity I see, I write about it. Although I must admit that the author meticulously studies what he writes about.

Daily life of a luxury hotel. A closed system, but such reversals of fate! With your fears and worries. Dramatic intrigue, broken hearts. Easy to read.

There is also a good series Magic City" (Magic City). Incredibly beautifully filmed and belongs to the retro crime drama genre. Series with an admixture of the Sopranos.

There is no need to talk about the importance of learning English and languages.

The series will tell about the most chic Miami Beach establishment of those times - the Miramar Hotel, where Mr. Blue eyes”, which is Frank Sinatra. The hotel's business manager, Ike Evans, is full of worries, because he has to solve the problems that arise every now and then, both with the mafia and with his own family, which is not distinguished by good behavior. By the way, the Miramar Hotel has both light and dark sides: during the day it is a place for diving clowns to perform and for cha-cha-cha classes, and at night it becomes a haven for gangsters and their antagonists, that is, representatives of the FBI and other structures, coming together to enjoy the great entertainment show that the hotel program has to offer. At the same time, no less dramatic events are unfolding just 320 kilometers from the coast of Miami: Comandante Fidel Castro seizes power in Cuba ...

And, of course, one cannot but recall the disastrous and controversial film by Quentin Tarantino "Four Rooms". I don’t know about you, but I didn’t understand anything about this black comedy. Talented Tim Roth and an unfinished film. For lovers of art house and alternative cinema.

Have a great day

Yana

It's good when at the reception in a hotel in another country the administrator knows Russian and can understand you, speak your language. And if ? Then the phrases from this article can help you in some situations.

In order to clarify or clarify something about accommodation, it is not necessary to know perfect English. In a hotel, for many situations, it will be enough to apply a few memorized phrases.

Let's start with how in general there will be a "hotel" or "hotel" in English: "Hotel". Easy to remember. Pronounced as [hotel] (emphasis on "e").

Phrases and their application

To begin with, imagine the situation that you have not yet reached your hotel. But you have a business card with his name, and you can't find him, despite the fact that you are already somewhere nearby. Then you can, showing him a business card with the name of the hotel:

If you looked at the proposed room, and you didn’t like it, in English it can be expressed like this:
I don't like this room. I don't like this number. [ay dont like zis room]

Accordingly, if you want to say that you liked it:
I like this room. I like this number. [ah like zis room]

What is important to know when checking into a hotel

If you have booked your stay at this hotel in advance, tell the reception desk:
I have a reservation. A room has been booked for me. [ah hav e rezation]

Of course, first of all, you need to find out when the check-out time is at the hotel.
What is the check-out time? When is checkout time? [Wat of the check-out time?]

What is my room number? What is my room number? [wot from mai rum nambe?]
What floor is my room on? What floor is my room on? [wat flo from my room he?]
When do you serve breakfast? What time is breakfast? [wen du yu show breakfest?]

As you understood from the text above, the checkout time in English is: check-out time.
And “late check-out” from the hotel in English will be: late check-out [late check-out]. Those. This is a departure later than checkout time.
Early check-in: early check-in [eoli check-in].

Extension

If you want to extend the hotel room, then in English you can notify the administrator about this using the following expression:

I'd like to extend my stay for two days. I would like to extend my stay by two days. [go like to ixtend may stay fo to daze]

The example indicates two days, but if you need to say about a different amount, use the article about, and substitute your own version in this phrase.

Of course, we have given as examples only a small list of phrases and words that will be useful for you to use in the hotel, when communicating with the hotel administrator and at the reception. But, we hope that this material will be useful to you in application, especially if your knowledge of the English language is quite minimal.
