A condo-hotel is a property with different units that are centrally managed by an operator (a single brand). In contrast with a hotel, these units are individually owned. In condo-hotels the rooms are sold to investors who can use their units but who are also allowed to rent those units whenever they are not using them in exchange for rental income. The rental program allows for single night rental periods, as opposed to weekly or monthly minimum periods (as in other alternative hotel investment vehicles like time share / vacation ownership) The condo-hotel term is used to reference a variety of hotel products At one end there is a property that functions as a hotel, but where all rooms are condominiumised and owned by individual owners who may put their units in a rental program and then be used as hotel inventory. At the other end there is a hotel or resort property that has one building for hotel guest and another building for condos (where owners may share facilities with hotel guests) guests). And then there are variation that fall within these two products. The difference between Branded Residences & Condo hotels is that in the first type the units are Condo-hotels used as prime residence by the owners and are not available to the hotel for renting out. But the term is loosely used and is also called Private Residences or The Residences by XXXX Hotels.
