Features to Look for in Business Hotels
商務(wù)酒店的特征
Sure, they all have beds and a bathroom (we hope!) but when it comes to business travel, all hotels are not created equal. Check out these features that might come in handy before you book your next hotel for business travel.
當(dāng)然了,每個(gè)酒店都有床和浴室(我們是這樣希望的),但是商務(wù)酒店并不都是一樣的。在你下次定商務(wù)酒店的時(shí)候,這些技巧可能會(huì)派的上用場(chǎng)。
1.High-Speed Internet in Your Room
房間內(nèi)有高速的網(wǎng)絡(luò)
Whether it's wireless or via an Ethernet line, in-room Internet service is essential for staying on top of emails, working on presentations and curbing on-the-road boredom.
在房間里有網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù),不管是無(wú)限網(wǎng)絡(luò)還是以太網(wǎng), 對(duì)發(fā)郵件,工作還是打發(fā)時(shí)間都是很重要的。
2.Business Centers
商務(wù)中心
Need to fax or print something? Lost your computer and need to get online? Though not available in every hotel chain, a business/office center can be indispensable for on-the-road workers.
要打印、傳真文件?丟了電腦,想要上網(wǎng)?即使不是每個(gè)連鎖酒店里都提供網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù),商務(wù)中心對(duì)每個(gè)出差的職場(chǎng)人士來(lái)說(shuō)也是必不可少的。
3.Room Service
客房服務(wù)
Yes, it's expensive and not always good (or good for you), but when you're tired from a long day of meetings, the last thing you want to do is drive around town looking for something to eat. At the very least, you'll want the hotel to have some sort of mini-mart where you can pick up water, soda, and small bites to tide you over.
是的,客房服務(wù)很貴,并且不一定總是好的,但是在你開(kāi)了一天冗長(zhǎng)的會(huì)議后疲憊不堪時(shí),你最不愿做的事情就是開(kāi)著車到鎮(zhèn)上去找吃飯的地方。至少,你會(huì)希望酒店有小型超市讓你可以買一些水,飲料,食品來(lái)填飽肚子。
4.Workout Facilities
鍛煉設(shè)施
After too many nights of said room service meals, you may notice that your pants are feeling a little snug
. Stay healthy on the road by checking yourself into hotels that have some sort of exercise equipment.
在享受了幾個(gè)晚上的客房套餐后,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的褲子有點(diǎn)緊了。在你出差途中,會(huì)通過(guò)在酒店的鍛煉設(shè)施上作運(yùn)動(dòng)來(lái)保持健康。
5.Shuttle Services
往返服務(wù)
Avoid having to take a cab or rent a car by booking rooms in hotels with shuttle service to/from the airport.
為了避免要坐出租車,定那種提供包接送到機(jī)場(chǎng)服務(wù)的酒店。
6.Location
選址
Do some research before you travel, so you can find a hotel in the best location relative to your meetings or the airport, depending on your schedule.
在出差前做一些調(diào)查,這樣才能根據(jù)你的行程,訂到離會(huì)場(chǎng)或飛機(jī)場(chǎng)最近的酒店。
7.Concierge Service
門(mén)房服務(wù)
Available generally in major cities, concierge
service can help you with everything from finding a restaurant to flagging a cab.
一般在大城市都有提供,門(mén)房服務(wù)可以幫你處理從找旅館到打出租車的一切事情。
8.Conference Rooms
會(huì)議室
If you need to prepare for a large presentation, or just need a place for a team to work before a meeting, a conference room can be helpful. In addition, if you require significant time to set up before a meeting or have lots of samples, you might want to have clients come to your hotel for the meeting instead of schlepping large items around town.
如果你要做一場(chǎng)大的陳述的話,或者需要在開(kāi)會(huì)前找個(gè)地方開(kāi)展團(tuán)隊(duì)工作,這時(shí)會(huì)議室就很有作用了。另外,如果你在開(kāi)會(huì)前需要大量的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間,或者你有很多樣板要演示,你可能會(huì)讓客戶到你的酒店,而不是帶著那么多的大樣板滿城鎮(zhèn)轉(zhuǎn)。
