The other reason hotels choose big beds
Another reason for hotels to install four poster beds is to do with the amount they can charge for a room. Similar rooms in similar hotels are usually charged out at similar prices unless of course the room has something special or unique to offer like a Jacuzzi bathroom, a great view, a balcony or a (you guessed it) a four poster. A full draped tester or half tester bed makes a normal bedroom a premium bedroom.
AA star rating
One of the methods used by hotels to get noticed and bring themselves to everyone's attention is the AA star rating. To get a good rating a hotel needs quits a few variables to rate well. One of these is the bedroom and here’s what it says about a Five Star rating for guest accommodation.
“Awareness of each guest’s needs with nothing being too much trouble. All bedrooms are en suite or have a private bathroom. Excellent quality beds and furnishings. Breakfast includes specials/homemade items, high quality ingredients, and fresh local produce”.
It’s little wonder that these beds have been held in such high esteem by hoteliers.
