"El español en el hotel" is a Spanish language course for students who have reached an intermediate level of Spanish and who would like to specialise in the field of tourism (ranging from work in hotels and travel agencies to work as a tourist guide or in public relations). While it does cover all four language skills, particular attention is given to audio-comprehension as this is recognised as a skill of high importance in the tourist industry.

The book itself is very well organised with a variety of maps, forms, articles and statistics taken from authentic and accurate sources. The book also contains a glossary of the grammar covered and transcripts of all audio-recordings.
