The hotel industry is fortunate. The federal government's terrorism insurance backstop has been in place since 2002 with no disruption in coverage. In fact, in 2007, Congress approved the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA), which extends the coverage through 2014.

That's because the government does not want to assume the role of insurer, and insurers would agree. Yet the much-needed coverage does provide coverage that lenders require. Should it become privatized once more, the costs could become prohibitive. Hotels that have such coverage aren't talking. But experts suggest that anywhere...

For international tourists and Americans alike, the only means of accommodation whilst travelling from town to town and city to city was a hotel or a motel. The few bed and breakfast establishments that did exist in the US were few and far between in areas such as New England and California. This form of accommodation was little known by most travellers and generally the only form of advertising their whereabouts was by word of mouth.

Everyone seems to attach the word luxury to all sorts of things these days, we often hear the words luxury hotel, luxury bathroom or luxury kitchen but it is not often attached to cottages. I think this is because cottages are normally thought of as quaint and serene rather than luxurious. We think about cottages as having twee gardens and inside small windows and rustic furnishings with roaring fires on a night time and stable doors flung open in the summer. Rarely would you describe all that as luxury, maybe because that is because it doesn't fit with our modern day definition of luxury being all modern and chic; maybe it is because our definition of luxury is wrong. Well nowadays it is entirely...
