hostelries

Places travelers sleep

Hostelries is the plural of hostelry, a somewhat old-fashioned or literary word for an inn or hotel—a place offering lodging to travelers.

The word carries a quaint, historical flavor, evoking country inns and coaching stops rather than modern chain hotels: The village boasted several hostelries dating back centuries.
