Hospitality in History Facilities offering guests hospitality have been in evidence since early biblical times. -
Thermal Baths Mansions Monasteries Inns Saloons
Thermal Baths The Greeks developed thermal baths in villages designed for rest and recuperation. Because the bathing process took so long, conversation was necessary.
Mansions Later, the Romans built mansions to provide accommodation for travellers on government business. These substantial structures, normally in the form of a villa, were dedicated to the travellers' rest and refreshment.
Monasteries In the Middle Ages, monasteries and abbeys were the first establishments to offer refuge to travellers on a regular basis. Religious orders built monasteries to cater for those on the move.
The Inn An establishment providing accommodations, food, and drink, especially for travelers. In addition to providing for the needs of travelers, inns traditionally acted as community gathering places.
Saloon
As America expanded West and founded new towns, a saloon was often the first place in town to open up. The saloon was the main meeting place where town hall was held, important announcements were made, and of course people went to eat and drink. The Saloon became the social epicenter of each new town.
