A systematic literature review focusing on luxury hotels in Europe and Asia

Abstract

Following the significant impact of the pandemic on the hotel industry, hotels continue to play a key role in the economy sector. However, maintaining financial stability is a major challenge for them. Luxury and sustainability may seem like contradictory concepts, but there are “best practices” that refer to the coexistence of these two concepts (Peng & Chen, 2019). The aim is to systematically review the literature on luxury hotels in Europe and Asia, after formulating a unique definition of the term luxury. Few studies are available on this topic, despite the rapid and global growth of the sector (Moore, 2024). This article provides a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of luxury hotels, drawing key correlations from European and Asian publications.
