Hotels come in various types and classifications, catering to a wide range of preferences, budgets, and needs. Understanding the different types of hotels can help travelers choose accommodations that best fit their requirements. Each type of hotel offers a distinct experience, catering to different preferences, from the opulence of luxury hotels to the practicality of business hotels and the affordability of hostels. Here’s an overview of the primary types of hotels.
Hotel locations significantly impact a traveler’s experience and the convenience of their stay. The choice of location depends on the purpose of the visit, be it tourism, business, or a layover. Choosing the right hotel location can enhance the convenience and overall enjoyment of a trip, whether it’s for leisure, business, or a simple overnight stay. Here are the main types of hotel locations, each offering its unique advantages.
Located in the heart of cities, these hotels cater primarily to business travelers and tourists. They are conveniently situated near business districts, shopping centers, restaurants, and cultural attractions, offering easy access to urban amenities and public transportation.
Situated near airports, these hotels are ideal for travelers in transit, those with early departures or late arrivals, and airline crew. They often provide shuttle services to and from the airport and are designed to accommodate short stays.
Resorts are typically found in picturesque locations such as beaches, mountains, islands, or near national parks. They cater to vacationers looking for a getaway and offer a variety of leisure activities, amenities like spas, pools, and golf courses, and sometimes all-inclusive packages.
Located along highways or at major road junctions, these hotels cater to road travelers and truck drivers needing rest or a stopover during long drives. They offer convenient access and parking, basic accommodations, and are often more affordable.
These hotels are set in rural areas, offering guests a tranquil and scenic environment away from urban centers. They appeal to travelers seeking relaxation, nature experiences, or activities like hiking, cycling, and wildlife observation.
Specifically catering to business travelers, these hotels are located in or near commercial areas of a city. They are equipped with business-friendly amenities, such as meeting rooms, business centers, and high-speed internet, and are close to corporate offices and convention centers.
Located in historic buildings or areas of historical significance, these hotels offer a unique ambiance and a sense of place. They are often refurbished structures like castles, mansions, or colonial buildings, retaining their historical charm while providing modern amenities.
Situated on the outskirts of urban areas, suburban hotels offer a quieter setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. They typically provide better value and more spacious accommodations, making them suitable for families and longer stays.
These hotels are located near or integrated with conference and convention centers, designed to accommodate large groups and events. They offer extensive meeting spaces, catering services, and amenities tailored to business and event attendees.
Found within or adjacent to theme parks and entertainment complexes, these hotels cater to families and tourists visiting the attractions. They often feature themed rooms and direct access or special entry to the parks or facilities they’re associated with.

By registering for this program, you are agreeing to participate in a full-service group travel experience, operated by United World Concert Tours, or one of our affiliate businesses. Because of the unique nature of group travel, many elements of your program and itinerary may be selected and/or scheduled at the direction of your Group Leader (the teacher, administrator, or parent from your school or organization), who will act as your group’s representative. Further, please note that, while United World Concert Tours and its affiliates will arrange the various travel elements for your trip, the total price quoted for your program includes additional pre-trip services, including but not limited to the development of the associated travel content, the printing and distribution of program materials, the costs associated with our various group health and safety measures, and the administrative and service costs related to group management.

If you register directly with United World Concert Tours, there are two payment options: (1) pay in full at time of registration (2) make scheduled installment payments, starting with a deposit at the time of registration.
We also strongly recommend that you use a credit card for your purchase, so that you can exercise your rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act if you do not receive the services you purchased. However, if we are the credit card merchant, our role is to facilitate the sale, collect funds on your behalf, and remit those funds to the Suppliers. If the Suppliers do not provide the services, your only recourse would be against the Suppliers, and you agree not to initiate a chargeback against us.
Your tour space is not guaranteed until your account has been paid in full or your payments have been successfully received prior to the stated deadline and you have been advised in writing that all conditions for travel have been satisfied.
The price quoted is based upon a minimum number of travelers, the content of the program as outlined in your trip information document and the date of your registration. The price quoted is subject to adjustment if the minimum enrollment is not met, if the program content or itinerary changes, or in the event of circumstances beyond United World Concert Tours’s direct control, including, but not limited to, increases in travel security charges, government imposed fees and taxes, fuel and energy costs, and airline, vendor, or group imposed schedule changes or delays. Travel arrangements involving airline and cruise components are subject to Suppliers’ supplemental price increases that may be imposed by the supplier and/or government, even after you have completed your purchase. You hereby consent to any such price increases and authorize your credit or debit card to be used for them. Suppliers have their own contracts covering cancellation penalties and other terms and conditions, and you may be bound by those contracts regardless of whether you receive notice of their terms.
If 1) your price is guaranteed for a minimum number of participants of 50 or more or 2) your group size is below the minimum number of participants, your group may be combined with other group(s) on the program. The combinations may not be of the same age level or have the same itinerary. If the Group Leader chooses not to be combined and travels with less than the minimum number of participants, an additional small group fee will be charged to your account.

United World Concert Tours charges a late registration charge of $90, for registrations received after the final payment deadline.

The fee for any late payments made after any scheduled installment date is $15. No personal checks or business checks will be accepted after the final payment deadline.

(For international programs, a $150 fee may apply for any changes made within 105 days of departure).
The services and value we provide begin long before your date of departure, and there are significant unrecoverable costs as your departure date approaches.

After 24 hours, no-refunds will be given.
All refunds are issued using the original form of payment on the account. Check refunds are only issued to the primary responsible party listed on the account. United World Concert Tours accepts payment via check, e-check, debit card, and credit card.

For your protection, we strongly recommend that you purchase trip cancellation and travel accident insurance. Please note that, unless you buy a cancel-for-any-reason policy, most policies have a specific clause stating they do not cover epidemics and pandemics, especially when travel warnings are in place. No representation or description of the insurance made by our staff constitutes a binding assurance or promise about the insurance. You agree to hold us harmless for your election not to purchase travel insurance or for any denial of claim by travel insurer as it relates to COVID-19 or any other claim under the policy.
Without limitation, United World Concert Tours, including its affiliates, owners, officers, agents, employees or any associated organization, is not responsible for any injury, loss, or damage to person or property, death, delay, overbooking or downgrading of accommodations, mechanical or other failure of airplanes or other means of transportation or for any failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive or depart timely, dangers associated with animals, sanitation problems, food poisoning, lack of or quality of medical care, illness or disease, difficulty in evacuation in case of a medical or other emergency, or for any other inconvenience beyond the direct control of United World Concert Tours, in connection with the provision of any goods or services whether occasioned by or resulting from, but not limited to, Exceptional Circumstances. Exceptional Circumstances may also justify postponement or (if postponement is not achievable) cancellation of trips. Exceptional Circumstances include, but are not limited to, acts of force majeure, war (whether declared or not), criminal or terrorist activities of any kind or the threat thereof, civil unrest, strikes or other restrictive labor activities, illness or disease, actual, perceived or threatened epidemics or pandemics, government-imposed travel restrictions or closures, and other events outside United World Concert Tours’s control that make performance of a trip as contemplated impossible or impractical.
Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the passenger is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the passenger, all sums paid to the seller of travel for services not provided will be promptly paid to the passenger, unless the passenger advises the seller of travel in writing, after cancellation. This provision does not apply where the seller of travel has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation, the seller of travel must provide the passenger with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.
This transaction is covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund (TCRF) if the seller of travel was registered and participating in the TCRF at the time of sale and the passenger is located in California at the time of payment. Eligible passengers may file a claim with TCRF if the passenger is owed a refund of more than $50 for transportation or travel services which the seller of travel failed to forward to a proper provider or such money was not refunded to you when required. The maximum amount which may be paid by the TCRF to any one passenger is the total amount paid on behalf of the passenger to the seller of travel, not to exceed $15,000. A claim must be submitted to the TCRF within 12 months after the scheduled completion date of the travel. A claim must include sufficient documentation to prove your claim and a $35 processing fee. Claimants must agree to waive their right to other civil remedies against a registered participating seller of travel for matters arising out of a sale for which you file a TCRF claim. You may request a claim form by writing to:
Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation; 468 Manzanita Ave., Suite 1, Chico, CA 95926; or by visiting TCRC’s website at: www.tcrcinfo.org.
