Condo Hotel vs. Traditional Condo

Can you briefly summarize the condo hotel concept? I'm not sure I understand how owning a condo hotel unit would differ from owning a traditional condo or timeshare.

Here is how I summarize it to a novice: Say you were a Northeasterner who vacationed in the winter in Miami Beach. In the past, you'd buy a condo, use it for three months, then put up your hurricane shutters and go home, leaving it empty until next December. Now instead, use it for three months and then have it rented for you when you go back home. Someone else (the management) will take care of the unit's maintenance, marketing and renting, and you will get a share of the revenue generated. This will help offset some of your carrying costs, which you would owe whether you were using the unit or not. Best of all, unlike a timeshare, you own the condo outright and can sell it whenever you wish. You keep the profits derived from appreciation.
