Hotel should, if you are going to pick nits, Hi Faldage be spelt with a circumflex over the "o" - comme ça "Hôtel". I believe that the "ô" signifies a silent "s" following the "o", making the original "hostel".
In C18 England a hotel was similar to an INN, in that it provided not only alcoholic refreshment, but also food, non-alcoholic drinks and beds for the night - whether for a one-night stay or for a longer period.

The name derives, I think, from the large town houses of the French nobility, and still exists in France in the term, "Hôtel de Ville", which is the town hall and official abode of the Mayor.
