Japanese hotels have not been given a clear definition to date regarding the way they are classified. Although the Japanese hotel industry has been under the influence of its American counterpart, it has failed in adopting the American classification system.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a clear definition of the Japanese hotel classification. The proposed definition will be verified according to the rational development process by the assessment of the workload in the development process of each hotel based on the classification defined.
