Morphology
five-star + hotel
The phrase is directly compositional: 'hotel' (a place for lodging) combined with the modifier 'five-star' indicates a hotel rated with five stars, i.e. very high quality. Star-rating systems for hotels are widespread and the modifier+noun composition is a familiar, predictable pattern for B1 learners, so the meaning is transparent from the parts.
Etymology
The name five-star hotel comes from a simple rating idea: hotels were given up to five stars, and five meant the best rooms and service, so today it means a 'luxury' hotel.
