History of hospitality industry

In the early times, travellors were either warriors or traders or people in search of knowledge. This was before the advent of hotels. They pitched the tents for accomodation. Due to high value in hospitality, Inns were established to provide accomodation. The inns provided a cot or a bench and people had to share the same room with horses and livestocks, there was no sanitation and privacy. Inn keeping became the first service that money was exchanged.
Till the industrial revolution of 1800s, there was no significance improvement in the inns and taverns, and they were not suitable for aristocrates. Thus, to accomodate wealthy people, the luxurious structures were made with private rooms and proper sanitation with the facilities of European castle. These elegent new establishments adopted the french name "Hotel". Their rates were byond the reach of ordinary person.Herman melville, in his nobel "moby dick" mentioned that he checked in a room of 19th century and woke up in the next morning to find out that he was sharing the bed with a cannibal.
Bethleham inn keeper turned Mary and Joseph away because there was no room suitable for the woman giving birth to a child. The stable that they spent the night was more suitable then the inn itself.
