The Chinese word 旅馆 (lǚguǎn) for "hotel" is composed of two characters: 旅 (lǚ) and 馆 (guǎn). The character 旅 originally meant "to travel" or "to journey", and it is often used in words related to travel, such as 旅行 (lǚxíng) "to travel" and 旅客 (lǚkè) "traveler". The character 馆 originally meant "a house for guests" or "an inn", and it is often used in words related to hospitality, such as 宾馆 (bīnguǎn) "hotel" and 餐馆 (cānguǎn) "restaurant". When combined together, the characters 旅 and 馆 form the word 旅馆, which specifically refers to a place where travelers can stay overnight.
