habitación de hotel
/abitaθjon de otel/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'hotel room' is translated into Spanish as habitación de hotel.
When inquiring about lodging, you might use the phrase ¿Tienen habitaciones disponibles? to ask if there are any rooms available or ¿Cuál es el precio de la habitación por noche? to ask for the price per night. You can also ask about amenities using ¿Hay servicio de habitaciones? to ask if room service is available.
Meaning: a room at a hotel (noun)
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of habitación (room), de (of) and hotel (hotel).
Which one should you use?
While the word cuarto can mean room, habitación is the more standard and precise term used in the context of hotels and lodging.
How does it change in a sentence?
Because habitación is a feminine noun, the definite article must be la (the hotel room) instead of el. To make the phrase plural, both the noun habitación and the article must change to their plural forms, resulting in las habitaciones de hotel (the hotel rooms).
