Why does the hotel have nothing to do with wine?

This question is very interesting. In my childhood memory, most "hotels" are called guest houses, hotels, hotels, restaurants and so on. With the development of tourism, there are more and more "hotels" around me, and even small homestays or farmhouses can be labeled as "xx hotels". How did the word "hotel" come from? Is it related to "wine"? It is still worth studying. There is no word "hotel" in the history of China. Places used to be used by tourists are called "post stations", "reverse tours", "hotels", "restaurants", "square pavilions" and "guest houses" which often appear in film and television dramas. It was not until modern China that the above-mentioned "hotels", "restaurants" and "inns" gradually appeared.

In fact, in the past, like China, the facilities for entertaining tourists were relatively simple "inns" or "hotels". /kloc-in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, French nobles built luxury villas in the countryside to receive distinguished guests. This luxury villa hotel is called htel, and its purpose is only for reception, not profit. Later, this French word was introduced and spread by the British upper class and evolved into today's "hotel". After that, hotels in western Europe and North America began to use the word "hotel", commercial hotels began to rise, and "hotel" was gradually standardized. In fact, there are many words in the western hotel industry, such as resort, motel, hostel, hostel, inn, suite, guest room and so on.

Hotels are different from motels, guest houses, guest houses and inns. In addition to comfortable and well-equipped rooms, a standard hotel generally includes restaurants, conference rooms, recreation rooms, gymnasiums, swimming pools and supporting shops. Of course, there are also some small boutique hotels, which have reduced many unnecessary facilities due to conditional facilities, but as hotels, they must provide accommodation and catering facilities. I think China's concept of "hotel" may have originated from Hongkong, Macau and southern China, because the high-grade accommodation facilities built in China in the early days are more called "hotels" or "guest houses", while ordinary ones are called "guest houses", "hotels" and "restaurants". With the reform and opening up, the accommodation industry began to be privatized, and western hotel groups entered. Because they not only provide accommodation, but also provide catering services, "hotels" gradually began to replace "restaurants" and "hotels" and have been in use ever since.

Since "hotel" in China generally refers to a place where accommodation is provided, the questioner will have questions. We can see that the word "hotel" originally refers to a place of accommodation with a certain scale and grade. It not only has guest rooms, but also a restaurant, which is bound to provide "wine". Those who fail to meet the standard of "hotel" may be called motels, guest houses, guest houses and so on. Therefore, "hotels" should not only provide wine, but also provide complete service facilities and services.

This is an interesting question. The word "hotel" has been translated into hotels, inns, hotels and restaurants in China. Chinese is really profound. No wonder Chinese is called the most difficult language in the world. The word hotel is also used flexibly in China. A liquor store can be called a hotel, a restaurant that only provides catering services can be called a hotel, a hotel that only provides accommodation services can be called a hotel, and a comprehensive place that provides catering, accommodation and entertainment can also be called a hotel. Now the word hotel is widely used in the accommodation industry. It seems that if you don't call it a hotel, you are not as good as others. If it is big, the word "big" will be added in front of the hotel. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the places that generally provide accommodation services are called guest houses, hotels and restaurants (although they are called hotels, they also provide accommodation services, and sometimes the use of Chinese is really interesting), such as Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Beijing Kunlun Hotel, Jianguo Hotel and Shanghai International Hotel.

Netizen reply: I feel that you told a very short joke. The content of the joke is: there is no wine in the hotel. In reality, which hotel do you go to and they don't serve drinks? In the hotel industry, drinks have the highest profit and the fastest money. No drinks, just a meal, the room rate of a room, hotel employees have to drink northwest wind. After reading your question, I answered it seriously. I tried to understand the source of the hotel and looked for the answer on the Internet, but found that there was no exact answer. Let's look at the definition of the word shop, which refers to the shop selling goods; Hotels, post offices. In ancient times, when the official information delivery personnel needed to stop temporarily, the post station rose. Zhumadian, the largest store in China, was named after the post station. In ancient times, with the rise of commerce, more and more people traveled from place to place and needed some temporary places to settle down, so there were more hotels. In the past, as long as men (all the men who appeared in front of them) got together, it was either beauty or wine. Beauty has a professional place, brothel and wine naturally belong to hotel restaurants.
