Usage notes

  • Usually masculine: l’hotel, un hotel, gli hotel. Invariable in the plural: gli hotel, not hoteli.
  • More common than albergo in everyday speech, especially for modern or international places; albergo can sound slightly more traditional.
  • Use in or all’ with articles: in hotel is common in speech, but all’hotel is also very natural depending on the sentence.
