A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging, usually on a short-term basis. Hotels often provide a number of additional guest services such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or childcare. Some hotels have conference services and meeting rooms and encourage groups to hold conventions and meetings at their location

How to Map
If high resolution imagery is available, or you have walked around the perimeter of the building and have a suitable GPX trace, draw the outline of the hotel and add the tags to the way. If not, create a node at the centre of the building. In either case, the main tag to use is tourism=hotel. You can name the hotel with name=* and the quality categorization with stars=* (where typical values are in the range 1-5). rooms=* and beds=* are also used.
Stars
In some countries (think Ecuador) it seems it's the hotel owner himself that assign stars. The rating tends to be rather high. Other hotels don't rate themselves at all, thinking it's not their job. How should we tag hotels if there is no official rating? I suggest we use the Hotelstars rating from the Wikipedia page (see link below). However I've never seen the Superior flag in use, and there's no tag for it in openstreetmap. I suggest use the rating without the S flag.
