Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

The word 酒店 (jiǔdiàn) primarily means 'hotel' or 'lodging place' in modern Mandarin. Despite the characters (alcohol) and (shop), 酒店 refers to a place where people stay overnight, not a liquor store.

Common Contexts

酒店 is commonly used when talking about booking accommodations, describing hotel facilities, or discussing services provided by hotels. It is a neutral term suitable for formal and informal contexts.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 预订酒店 (yùdìng jiǔdiàn): to book a hotel, used when making reservations.
  • 酒店服务 (jiǔdiàn fúwù): hotel service, referring to the quality or type of service.
  • 酒店设施 (jiǔdiàn shèshī): hotel facilities, such as restaurants, gyms, or pools.

Usage Tips

Do not confuse 酒店 with 酒吧 (jiǔbā), which means 'bar' or 'pub'. 酒店 focuses on accommodation, while 酒吧 is a place primarily for drinking alcohol. 酒店 is a common word at HSK level 2, so it appears frequently in travel and daily conversation contexts.

Example Sentences
