Dreaming Lens: What was the state of the hotel? Was it lavish or dilapidated? Were you a welcome guest and were your needs met? Was the hotel scene central to the dream or only cursory? Was it business or pleasure that took you there? Who was with you?
Personal Focus: Any home-like dwelling in a dream is representative of the Self. A space of transitional living such as a hotel or motel room connects to the Self in a temporary state of being. This symbol usually appears when there is change afoot, indicating that the sense of Self is in transition and not yet fully “home.” Given this transitory nature, such a dream may indicate the need for a temporary respite in order to consider being more authentic with regard to your identity.
Look to the Dreaming Lens for an accurate interpretation when a hotel appears in your dream. For example, if the dwelling is dilapidated, as in an inexpensive motel, then you may be experiencing downward movement in the areas of abundance. If the hotel is grand and lavish, you may be preparing yourself for an increase in abundance. Conversely, this same imagery could be compensating for lack as a wish fulfillment. The level and quality of service may help you explore your current relationship to receiving. If the service was bad, you might consider seeing if your needs are being met in life. If you were well taken care of, you may be allowing contribution and assistance in your life, or need to do so in greater measure.
Hotel rooms can also be connected to both sexuality and mortality, as they are often used in life for sexual encounters and suicides. Hotel-room sex could indicate a self-investigation that involves looking at an area of your sexual expression. If the latter image is present, ask yourself what part of you may need to commit suicide (be sacrificed) so that the rest of you can move forward with your life. [1]
The dream may reflect a current reality, issue, or dilemma and attempt to bring the dreamer into greater self-awareness. Because a hotel is a transitory dwelling, it suggests a time away from one’s responsibilities or routine. As a dream symbol it could reflect a need for rest and reflection. Depending on the details of the dream, specific information can be ascertained.
For example, if the hotel is luxurious it suggests prosperity and positive decision-making. However, if the hotel is rundown and inadequate, it may reflect a time of uneasiness and depravation. Whether the hotel in your dream represented a retreat or escapism is for you to determine by examining your current daily reality. Finally, a hotel may refer to a temporary stage in life or be a form of compensation with which the dreamer eases the anxiety and stress experienced during the day. [2]
If you are the owner or administrator of the hotel establishment, it is saying that you aspire to have power over others. According to other interpretations, the hotel is related to a change of residence and lack of permanence. So, it could represent the transition from some circumstances to others, or the loss of your own identity.
If the hotel is luxurious, it predicts failure. But if it is old and dirty, soon you will have the help of good luck. [3]
1- Dreaming of being in a hotel can mean that we need to escape from a situation in our lives for a short time. Conversely, it can also mean that a situation we are in will only last for a limited amount of time.

3- Temporary sanctuary, or the need to be in a safe environment is depicted by a hotel. [4]
If the hotel was, by your usual standards, ostentatious, or even very luxurious, it predicts failure or disappointment in the outcome of an important issue; but if it was the same type (or more modest than) you normally patronize, the forecast is one of satisfying achievement.
However, the action and other elements of the dream should also be considered. [5]
