What is a hotel? What is a hotel?

I don’t understand what a hotel is, but there is a definition on the hotel website.

The word hotel originated from French, and its original meaning was to refer to the villas where French nobles entertained distinguished guests in the countryside. At present, the hotel has become an international definition, and its meaning has undergone profound changes. All authoritative foreign dictionaries have defined the word hotel as follows

"Lear Encyclopedia" - Generally speaking, a hotel is a building and institution that provides accommodation, meals and services to the public

Encyclopedia Britannica - A hotel is a building that provides accommodation and often meals to the public on a commercial basis.
