A '''residence''' is a place (normally a building) used as a [[home]] or [[dwelling]], where people '''reside'''.
A '''residence''' is an establishment where it was originally or currently being used by a host as their main place of dwelling or home. Architecturally, a residence is typically a house, mansion, cottage or even grand castles and palaces. A residence is offered to travelers as temporary lodgings where they can rent a room. The rooms are generally furnished in the style which complements the architecture type of the building. This boutique type of accommodation has a nice homely feel where the traveler is the 'house-guest'. Hotels, especially the extended stay chains, commonly function as residences for many guests.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6990706.stm '&#39;Home Suite Home'&#39;&nbsp;–].
