les limites du genre

Non-PRO French to English Other Business/Commerce (general)
Cet établissement hôtelier est l’exemple même d’un produit de qualité. Reste à savoir si, avec d’une part les investissements qu’il a nécessité, sans parler des 10 millions de perte d’exploitation pour l'hôtel voisin et d’autre part des prélèvements extrêmement élevés, on n’atteint pas les limites du genre.

whether this hotel hasn't pushed the concept as far as it can go/to the limit...

The 'genre' can be thought of as the type of hotel, but that is also a 'concept', and we do talk about pushing a concept as far as it can go.

this particular kind of hotel is (still) not where it could be

Hello,

In other words, this kind of hotel could be made even better. The limits have not even been reached yet.

I hope this helps .
