New hotels that boast elaborate bars and fancy restaurants and decor are in the works.  The format costs more to build than a standrad chain hotel, but it can also be more profitable.  This new trend doesn't even have a commonly accepted name for these buildings.  This is a clear example of a new product-new market strategy as our class learned.  These hotels can also be more profitable because they attract large crowds other than hotel guests.
