hotel

/(h)əʊˈtɛl/noun

A business, usually a large building and often part of a chain, where travelers pay to sleep and receive services such as meals.

Example sentence

  • We checked into the hotel late at night.

Use 'a' before it, not 'an': the 'h' is pronounced in modern English, so 'an hotel' now sounds dated.
