What does 🏨 Hotel mean?
A hotel building, usually marked with an H or the word HOTEL. It is used for bookings, check-ins, staycations, business trips and holiday accommodation. Travelers send it to share where they are staying or to say they have arrived safely. The similar-looking 🏩 has a heart and a romantic meaning, so it is worth not mixing the two up.
🏨 Hotel is an emoji from the Travel & Places category (buildings), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010.
