Definition
酒店 (jiǔ diàn) can mean either 'hotel' or 'restaurant', so context is key. As a hotel, it is similar to 旅馆 (lǚ guǎn) but often implies a larger or more modern establishment. As a restaurant, 酒店 leans toward a full-service dining experience, whereas 饭馆 (fàn guǎn) refers to a smaller, everyday eatery.
