Morphology
The meaning 'a person who runs a hotel' is directly and compositionally derived from 'hotel' (place of lodging) + 'manager' (person who manages), so a B1 learner knowing both constituents can infer the MWE. This is a straightforward noun–noun compound pattern that is cross-linguistically common and follows normal English modifier + head structure, making it immediately understandable.
Etymology
Hotel manager is a compound of hotel (a place where guests stay) and manager (a person who runs things). Picture someone at the front of the building watching staff and guests and solving problems—that image explains why a hotel manager is 'the person in charge of the hotel'.
