A hotel key is a card or physical key that unlocks a guest room door.
Modern hotel keys are typically plastic cards with magnetic stripes or RFID chips, though older establishments may still use traditional metal keys.
The term extends to any credential granting room access: I left my hotel key at the front desk.
