	Yoong Liat  +  875858 Wed, 26 Aug 09 06:11 PM To the best of my knowledge, it was correct to say 'an hotel' because in the past the 'h' was silent. However, in modern English, the 'h' is pronounced. Hence, it should be 'a hotel'. Yoong Liat Joined on Mon, Sep 4 2006 Veteran Member 6,757 Countries, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Languages
