Sažetak
Small hospitality evokes special interest in the analysis of management in transition in general and in Croatia as well. Its management and wider social potential is a reason enough for questioning. Within the context, analysis of small hotels represents an extra quality. This work analyses characteristics of small hotels in Croatia, based on a vast research of sixty business subjects. The research was done using the interview method, questionnaires and personal observation. The research comprises two groups of small hotels’ characteristics: general characteristics of an object (legal form, number of employees, category, size and age) and general characteristics of business (location and seasonality during a business year). The research has shown that a typical small hotel in Croatia is a trade company, i.e. LTD company and has up to twenty employees. Largest number of small hotels is categorized as a three-star hotel and consists of up to thirty accommodation units, with an average quality grade higher than other accommodation objects in Croatia. All-year long business season has imposed as an imperative and one of the ground business targets. The results of the research match the results of certain researches worldwide.
