Usage notes
- For people staying somewhere, Italians often prefer soggiornare or stare in. Alloggiare sounds more formal, travel-related, or hotel/booking language.
- As an intransitive verb, it usually takes essere in compound tenses: siamo alloggiati in centro, not abbiamo alloggiato in centro.
- With a direct object, alloggiare means to accommodate someone: l'hotel alloggia 200 persone. Don't confuse this with staying somewhere yourself.
