Why do hotels have different types of rooms?

A 5-star hotel will typically offer guests several different room types, each featuring its own set of amenities, number of beds and layout. The makeup of room types at a property is largely determined by the general demographics groups (i.e., business travelers, families, newly weds, etc.) that stay at the hotel.
