'Holiday Inn' of Beirut.

Although originally called Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, Crowne Plaza split to form a distinctive brand from Holiday Inn in 1994.
During the 1960s, there were two Holiday Inn Jr. motels; one in Rantoul, Illinois and the other in Missouri. Motel rooms were located in portables although the Rantoul location also had one small section in a traditionally-constructed building.

Holiday Inn

The original Holiday Inn chain of hotels was created in 1952 in Memphis, Tennessee, by homebuilder Kemmons Wilson to provide inexpensive family accommodation for travelers within the USA. Wilson opened the first Holiday Inn in September 1952 at 4941 Summer Avenue in the Berclair district of Memphis on the main road to and from Nashville. Though the actual hotel does not exist anymore, a historical sign marks where it once stood. In 1954, Wilson incorporated the chain with Wallace E. Johnson.
Wilson initially came up with the idea after a family road trip to Washington, DC, during which he was disappointed by the quality and consistency provided by the roadside motels of that era. The name Holiday Inn was given to the original hotel by his architect Eddie Bluestein as a joke, in reference to the Bing Crosby movie.

Residence Inn by Marriott

Residence Inn by Marriott is a brand of extended stay hotels. The chain was launched in 1977 in Wichita, Kansas by Jack DeBoer, and acquired by Marriott International in 1987. As of April 2005, there were over 450 Residence Inn hotels in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The brand's slogan is Your home away from home.
The usual appearance of a Residence Inn is a Main Building housing the front desk, a common area for meal service, an on-site coin operated laundry, a swimming pool and exercise room and often several out buildings similar to condo complexes. Residence Inns typically feature a complimentary hot breakfast in the morning and a free light dinner or snack on weekday evenings, Monday through Thursday. In contrast to Marriott's low-cost TownePlace Suites brand, Residence Inn competes in the upper moderate to low upscale segment, along with InterContinental's Staybridge Suites, Hyatt's Summerfield Suites, and Homewood Suites by Hilton.

Apartment hotel

An Apartment Hotel (also ApartHotel, Apart Hotel and Apart-Hotel) is a type of accommodation, described as "a serviced apartment complex that uses a hotel style booking system". It is similar to renting an apartment, but with no fixed contracts and occupants can 'check-out' whenever they wish.
Apartment hotels are flexible types of accommodation; instead of the rigid format of a hotel room, an apartment hotel complex usually offers a complete fully fitted apartment. These complexes are usually custom built, and similar to a hotel complex containing a varied amount of apartments. The length of stay in these apartment hotels is varied with anywhere from a few days to months or even years. Prices tend to be cheaper than hotels. The people that stay in apartment hotels use them as a home away from home, therefore they are usually fitted with everything the average home would require.

Fixed-wing aircraft

A fixed-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of flight whose lift is generated not by wing motion relative to the aircraft, but by forward motion through the air. The term is used to distinguish fixed-wing aircraft from rotary-wing aircraft and ornithopters in which lift is generated by blades or wings that move relative to the aircraft. Fixed-wing aircraft include unpowered aircraft (usually called gliders) and powered aircraft (usually called airplanes or aeroplanes).
Many fixed-wing aircraft are propelled forward by the thrust from propellers or jet engines. In the United States, Canada and many other regions, the term airplane is applied to these powered aircraft. In Britain and many other regions, the term aeroplane is used. The word derives from the Greek αέρας (aéras-) ("air") and -plane.[1] The form "aeroplane" is the older of the two, dating back to the mid-late 19th century.[2]
Most fixed-wing aircraft are flown by a pilot on-board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or robot controlled.
