As the topic of this paper is to describe the development and operation of small and family hotels, we will only touch on the division of hotels according to the number of rooms. Looking at tourism in this area, thinking specifically about Croatian tourism, it could be concluded that small family hotels are a new trend, a new face of Croatian tourism. Today, independent hotels operate in large cities, as small hotels of lower standards and medium and lower quality, and in Croatia, there are a large number of them in cities and holiday destinations. We can classify hotels into many groups according to categorization and minimum conditions, according to purpose and offer, given the continuity of business according to the number of rooms. The specialization of business and the division into hotel departments did not occur until the beginning of the twentieth century, and from that moment on their rapid development began. There were no hotels as we know them today until the beginning of the 19th century and their development was very slow. began to be used in the territory of England when accommodation services began to appear in England in facilities intended for that purpose. These additional services make a difference between hotels because they make up the overall offer of the facility in question, which can be relaxation services such as fitness and wellness, entertainment services (disco and bar), conference hall rental services (congress hall), etc. The hotel is an institution in which guests are primarily provided with accommodation services, and depending on the type and name of the facility, food and beverage services and other characteristic services can also be provided.
The problem of the development of small family hotels in Croatia is presented in the example of the Adria Hotel.
It has a total of 30 beds in homely and air-conditioned rooms that guarantee a quality holiday. It was opened in the early 2000s, at the time of the opening of many family hotels, and is one of the first members of the National Association of Family and Small Hotels founded in 2004. Hotel Adria is a small family hotel in Kaštel Štafilić, only 200 meters from the beach and 1.5 kilo-meters from Split Airport. The advantages and disadvantages of small family hotels are explained in the example of the Adria Hotel. Although they are an important segment of the tourist offer, they are not nearly as represented as in neighboring countries. Small family hotels are the backbone of the total tourist offer of the Republic of Croatia, in which 400 small family hotels currently operate, which is 10 percent of the total hotel capacity. The hotel is an institution where guests are primarily provided with accommodation services, and depending on the type and purpose of the facility, food and beverage services and other characteristic services can also be provided.
