It’s not a great time to be a smoker. Already banished from restaurants and bars in many countries, people who enjoy a cigarette are now finding it increasingly difficult to find a hotel room.
But a new website has now been launched to cater specifically for travelling smokers. Smoketels.com claims to be the world’s “first smoking hotel rooms-only reservation website” and offers chuffers the chance to book more than 100,000 hotels worldwide that cater to guests who smoke.
“You have to search through their site, click on a hotel, then see if they have a smoking room or not,” a Smoketel spokesperson said. “It can be quite time -consuming and frustrating, and often this information is not made readily available.”
According to the company, smokers are an “underserved demographic”. It also criticised other online travel reservation sites for making it “difficult for users to even identify if a hotel offers smoking rooms”.
The new site includes photographs of all participating hotels as well as lists of amenities.
