My dream travel website--does it exist?
 
I'd like to see a website that has the following information about the hotels it lists:<BR><BR>-When hotel was built <BR>-When hotel was renovated <BR>-Square footage of rooms. <BR><BR>Does it exist?

Lots of websites have this information, especially European hotels. I noticed several NYC hotel sites had the square footage of their rooms, as well as sites in Paris. By reading your title, I assumed you wanted links to some of those ultra-fancy dream vacations to exotic places. I'll give you one anyway...http://www.slh.com/index.shtml

No, not looking for ultra fancy at all, just looking for the data.

No single website has that type of info.<BR>Most individual hotel websites don't even list a lot of those specifics.<BR>I often resort to calling the toll free hotel #, where you can get the most specific info.

Most larger hotels include this data in the descriptive information of the property profile in the global distribution systems, used by travel agents AND websites such as travelocity.com<BR>It may take some looking but you should be able to locate it.<BR>Here's the info for the Sheraton Towers in NYC:<BR>II.

AAA will give you the first 2 answers. As far as the square footage you have to call the hotels direct or go to their websites.
