Why is the hotel called a hotel?

The word "Hotel" may be translated from the English word "hotel".

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 H. Tel, its purpose is only 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.

To be honest, this question is quite interesting. How come there is no wine in the hotel? Are there only rooms in the hotel? Of course not. Besides sleeping, hotels can also eat. Generally, a better one can be called a hotel, but there are restaurants. Moreover, a large part of the hotel's profits come from drinks. Without drinks, it is equivalent to losing a lot of income. Therefore, it is not a hotel without wine, nor is it a hotel without wine.

Of course, in the history of China, there is no such word as hotel. This word must have been translated from abroad, and what can be called a hotel abroad is a relatively high-end place. Like China, it's actually a glimpse. Look at those ordinary hotels, aren't they still called hotels, guesthouses and so on? It's not called a hotel at all. Those who can call a hotel are generally high-end.
