Hospitality Property

Also known as: hospitality real estate, hotel property

Hospitality property, as used here, is real estate operated as guest lodging, including hotels, motels and inns.

In this glossary, hospitality property means real estate operated as guest lodging, such as a hotel, motel or inn. The term identifies the guest-accommodation use of the property.

EIA's broader lodging survey category also includes dormitories and residential care buildings. Those uses are not treated as hospitality property in this definition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is every building in EIA's lodging category a hospitality property?

No. EIA includes residential care and dormitory buildings alongside hotels and motels. This glossary uses hospitality more narrowly for guest lodging and does not treat all lodging survey categories as equivalent.
