1. (now chiefly historical) A large town house or mansion; a grand private residence, especially in France. [from 17th c.]
2. An establishment that provides accommodation and other services for paying guests; normally larger than a guesthouse, and often one of a chain. [from 17th c.]
   • 1868, "A Clergyman" (John Morison), Australia in 1866, page 165,

     When gold-digging commenced in California, the writer was staying at an hotel in Wellington, New Zealand, where a Yankee trader was also staying. Seated at the dining-table, the latter was discoursing of the business he was doing […] .

3. The letter H in the ICAO spelling alphabet. [from 20th c.]
4. The larger red property in the game of Monopoly, in contradistinction to houses.

Usage notes

The UK pronunciation omitting the initial h is in imitation of the French hôtel and is now considered old-fashioned.
