Is there a difference between a restaurant and a hotel?

Analysis:

In some places, hotels and restaurants are regarded as equal concepts.

I don’t agree with the answer above. I’ve seen that your link is a hotlink, and the word “standard” is missing from the end. In the early 1950s, there was a saying in domestic customs that "food is the most important thing for the people." Rice was more important than wine and more relevant to people's lives, so hotels at that time were called restaurants. Such as "Beijing Hotel", "Nanjing Hotel", "Changjiang Hotel", etc. Netizens can check online. In the late 1990s, restaurants were renamed hotels. They are rarely called restaurants, except for those in small towns who simply eat and call them so-and-so small restaurants.

Hotel, the English name HOTEL, is a cultural heritage originated from the West. It has the same meaning as Chinese hotels. They both provide comprehensive service facilities such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment and shopping. It is just a name. It is internationalized. In terms of wording, hotels in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau were originally called hotels. Most of the well-known hotels have international connections, such as "Holiday Inn", "Garden Hotel", etc. These were all in the late 1990s. .

For example, today's supermarkets are called "Liangfan" in some areas, which was originally called "Liangfan" in Japan. The principle is the same. It was called a small shop before, and later it was called a supermarket (super markt), so there must have been no such thing as "quantity" before that! !

The hotel pays attention to tradition in management, and the hotel service tends to be more meticulous. There is no difference in essence.
