French term

personnalité préservée

Non-PRO French to English Marketing Tourism & Travel
XXX offre des hôtels à la personnalité préservée tant dans le décor à chaque fois différent que dans le service.

I'm not too sure what is meant by "personnalité préservée" here?

Is it like the hotel has maintained it's authenticity but that sounds very strange:(

Many thanks for your help

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

hotels which have maintained their character

Presumably they haven't been turned into homogenous chain hotels?

original charm

Hotels are said to seduce guests with their charm. Here, the original charm of the hotel has been preserved in both the decor and the service.
