Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network
Working in luxury real estate, I have noticed a great number of terms being used that I like, but that I think could be better. For instance, in the Winter 2008 issue of LuxuryRealEstate.com Magazine, I wrote an editorial on hotel condos. A hotel condo is a condominium located inside a hotel. People actually own their own hotel room and they can receive all the benefits of hotel living whenever they like. It’s a great concept, really. While writing this editorial, I felt a little awkward naming this property type, so I decided to try coming up with a better name.
Condo hotel, hotel condo and condotel are all too long and don’t really describe this property type particularly well. That’s why I propose that this property type be known as Hondo. It sounds sleeker, plus it solves the problems inherent in the repeated vowel sounds in “condo hotel” and the clunky awkwardness that is “condotel.” I’m probably not the first to suggest this, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyway. I’ll also hopefully suggest replacements for other terms in the future.
Hondo. What do you think?
