Usage: Use hotels to refer to multiple commercial establishments that provide lodging and services to travelers. Do not confuse this plural noun with the singular word hotel when referring to just one property.
Derived from the French hôtel, originally meaning a nobleman's residence, it entered English in the 16th century to describe an inn or lodging house. The term later evolved specifically to refer to commercial establishments providing accommodation and services to travelers.
