criticisms of the Executive Director of the Iranian Hoteliers Community on how the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran works against hoteliers

The manager of the Iranian Hoteliers Community, in a report on Hotel Directors' emphasis on “two rates for hotels”, said: despite many adversaries even in the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran, hotel management has become an enduring and challenging job due to increased and abnormal costs. On the other hand, the hotel's pricing is not free in Iran, and it is totally within the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran’ discretion. Referring to the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran’ instructions on the issue of room rates for foreigners which can be in foreign currencies, Abbas Bidgoli said: "Visitors should pay attention to the Nima system for foreign currencies, which is a significantly different in exchange rate with the free market in Iran. They should be aware of all people who offer them hotel discounts instead of exchanging currencies for them! He argued that the only offer by the Iranian hoteliers’ community to the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran is to make a rule for hotels to receive room rates at foreign currencies. If this offer is not applicable, at least they should let hotels be free to change the currencies themselves based on free market and out of NIMA system. He continued: "The costs of goods and energy carriers, including water, electricity and gas have been multiplied in hotels, but hoteliers do not want to compensate this increase by increasing rates.

New Little Havana boutique hotel lets visitors live like locals — at a value price

When it opens Dec. 28, Life House Little Havana will be the neighborhood’s first boutique hotel. The launch is also the first for Life House, a start-up lodging brand based in New York and backed by California and London investors. The 33-room hotel — which offers private rooms and a handful of group rooms — will cater to “mature millennials” looking for more than fun in the sun at accessible prices. “It’s for people who are seeking substantial experiences,” said Life House co-founder and CEO Rami Zeidan. The brand, which offers affordable lodging with stylish amenities, is designed to connect people with the community around them.  Life House has raised $70 million in funding from Silicon Valley-venture capital firms Global Founders Capital, Comcast Ventures and Trinity Ventures, and London-based real estate firm Henley Investments. They’re betting that young travelers will gravitate toward the company’s tech-savvy, upscale, design-focused and local approach to travel.  It’s a niche that’s gaining traction. In 2013, Freehand opened an upscale hostel on Miami Beach. Just last month, the European hotel-hostel brand Generator opened in Miami Beach, with a mix of shared dorms and private rooms with large, comfortable common areas. Just a 15-minute walk from Life House Little Havana is the newly remodeled Tower Hotel Project, a 52-room hotel slated to open in February. (Construction delays pushed the opening back from its original September 2018 date.)  For travelers drawn to these lodgings, “What’s most important to you is value, value, value,” said Deanna Ting, Senior Hospitality Editor for Skift, a travel trade publication that monitors trends. “It’s everything you need and nothing you don’t. They’re not skimping on everything, it’s not bare bones. But they’re being really careful about what they curate.”  Life House embodies other key trends identified by Travel Market Report, a hospitality trade publication: connecting guests with the local community and making sure hotels tell stories.  Unique to Life House is proprietary software that allows travelers to manage their trips though an app if they choose. Guests can reserve rooms, check in and out, get to know each other before arrival, and chat with a concierge throughout their stay. Forums on wellness, nature, food and nightlife allow guests to check out local happenings. And no more waiting in line — guests can stroll right to their room and use the app as a key
