Hotels. How did they start?

According to Jacques Levy-Bonvin. Hotel services had been started since the very early age of earth. The Greeks had began building thermal baths in villages for travellers. Romans had develop the services by building mansions and providing thermal baths for government business.

However, for hotels in Malaysia, they started to establish since the British colonialism. Accommodations such hotels are provided since there are trading-posts across Malaya. They are built for merchants, missionaries, mercenaries and travellers' convenience in doing their business in the particular country.

Onwards, more hotels are built for the convenient of the travellers. Year by year the hotels develop, providing a lot of facilities to attract more travellers or tourists to stay at their hotels. In a nutshell hotels first built for the intention of providing a place to stay for adventurers or simply businessmen.
