Morphology
The meaning 'a statement listing charges for a guest's stay' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hotel' (place for lodging) and 'bill' (document listing money owed). This noun–noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common referential compound with no idiomatic shift, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it.
Etymology
The noun hotel bill comes from the simple idea of a written bill from a hotel that lists what you used and must 'pay'. So today hotel bill means the paper or 'statement' showing all the charges for your stay.
