Morphology

hotel + plan

The meaning 'a pricing arrangement at a hotel including accommodation and specified meals' is directly derivable from combining 'hotel' (place providing lodging/services) and 'plan' (an arranged set of services or pricing). This noun+noun composition follows regular English compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Hotel plan comes from choosing a fixed plan at a hotel that bundles a room and certain meals together. Think of it like picking a set 'package' on a menu: you pay one price for the bed and the meals, so it means a price that 'includes' accommodation and specified meals.
