“Where will I stay?” can be the most often overlooked aspect of travel. Your destination and what you’ll do once you arrive there garner the most attention of course, with making arrangements for lodging sometimes being the last task on the list. But just as your home serves as the center of all of your activities, your choice of where to lay your head while away from home affects everything you do.
Business trips tend to be brief, one- or two-day solo affairs filled with meetings and business dinners. In these cases, the only time you’ll need lodging is for sleeping, making a hotel room the best choice. However, the dynamics of travel change when you’re traveling as a couple or with your family. Hotels are certainly an option, but a home in the form of a traditional home, a guesthouse, or a condominium unit would provide the most relaxing environment.
