Domaine(s)
  • Hébergement (Tourisme)
DEF

Dans un établissement d'hébergement offrant les services d'entretien courants, petit appartement meublé, entièrement équipé (ustensiles, vaisselle, literie) et loué pendant de brèves périodes le plus souvent. Ce genre d'appartement se trouve dans les hôtels-appartements ou les motels-appartements.

OBS

Un appartement comporte toujours plusieurs pièces; «appartement de tourisme» est donc un terme spécifique par rapport aux vedettes anglaises. C'est cependant ce terme-là qui a été adopté. Il aurait sans doute été préférable de dire «logement» qui peut contenir une ou plusieurs pièces, ou encore «studio», si le logement ne comporte qu'une seule pièce.

OBS

meublé, adj. et n.m. : Qui est loué avec des meubles, des ustensiles.
