Abstract Details

2018, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
Current hotel typologies often do not promote traveler interaction with the hotel location. Franchise hotels distance themselves from their surroundings with walls, fences, and exclusive programming. They are a great way to experience a space that will be internationally uniform. They offer no way to experience the unique context of their location. AirBnb’s platform of connecting travelers with property owners of excess lodging has demonstrated this and the potential to make money while giving travelers a trusted alternative to chain hotels. It also gives travelers a more authentic view of the local context. Most importantly, it has shown its potential to encourage and curate engagement within cities through their promotion of “Experiences”. Hotel business is rapidly being adversely affected as more people choose AirBnb over traditional hotels.
