innholder

Operates a tavern

An innholder is the owner or keeper of an inn—someone who operates an establishment providing lodging and often food to travelers.

The term is old-fashioned; innkeeper is more common today.

The innholder welcomed the weary coach passengers and showed them to their rooms.
