Abstract

Hotels are periodically adapted to permanently changing requirements in tourism over their life cycle. Obsolescence is caused by changes in sociological and technological requirements. The research of architectural changes affecting hotel building was conducted on double room as it is a basic structural module for the entire hotel building. It was conducted on the data taken from the Croatian regulations on minimum spatial and technical standards for hotel categorization in period from 1957 to 2016. The research confirmed the change in sociological requirements as a dominant requirement influencing architectural change in the accommodation area of a hotel.
