I love this topic. It is surprising how monolithic the hotel industry is. When you get down to it, every hotel is selling identical rooms. Some may have nicer towels, sheets and furnishings, but at their core you are getting 1-2 beds, a chair or a couch, a desk, a television and a bathroom. They are built for one kind of traveler only. We have been confounded by how hard it is to find a place where two people can comfortably work remotely – even in AirBnBs. It feels like there is a real opportunity for someone to capitalize on the digital nomad culture.
Monolithic is a great way to describe it! And the booking process is the same — they all use the same few booking platforms that make it so difficult to filter by what you're looking for (number of rooms, number of people per room, connecting rooms.) There's a hole in the market and I'd love for someone to fill it. (So I don't have to stay in Airbnbs anymore :)
