The word hotel is derived from the French htel (coming from the same origin as
hospital), which referred to a French version of a building seeing frequent visitors,
and providing care, rather than a place offering accommodation. In contemporary
French usage, htel now has the same meaning as the English term, and htel
particulier is used for the old meaning, as well as "htel" in some place names such
as Htel-Dieu (in Paris), which has been a hospital since the Middle Ages. The
French spelling, with the circumflex, was also used in English, but is now rare. The
circumflex replaces the 's' found in the earlier hostel spelling, which over time took
on a new, but closely related meaning. Grammatically, hotels usually take the
definite article hence "The Astoria Hotel" or simply "The Astoria."

The precursor to the modern hotel was the inn of medieval Europe, possibly dating
back to the rule of Ancient Rome. These would provide for the needs of travelers,
including food and lodging, stabling and fodder for the traveler's horse(s) and fresh
horses for the mail coach. Famous London examples of inns include the George
and the Tabard. A typical layout of an inn had an inner court with bedrooms on the
two sides, with the kitchen and parlour at the front and the stables at the back.

Joseph Stalin in 1945.[9] The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower in Mumbai is one of India's most
