I don't really understand what you mean. I suggest that you try to reword your original sentence in another way.

Don't capitalize 'centre'. 'Scarce' does not sound correct. How about 'small'? The overall meaning sounds wrong. It sounds like hotels in the city centre are not considered as part of the city's hotel base. Why wouldn't they be? Clive There are hotels all around the center of the city, so I think they are part of the city's hotel base?

Maybe I should write HOTELS IN THE CENTER? What do you mean by 'the Center'? How does the word accompanying sound? It sounds a bit odd to me. 'Addressed to' also sounds odd. You probably mean 'that cater to'. ' in the city of'. Clive It's the Center of the city. You mean HOTELS that cater to tourists and smaller companies?http://www.englishforums.com/English/Accompanying/zwzkb/post.htm#458566Sat, 25 Apr 2009 01:21:59 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:458566Clive4http://www.englishforums.com/English/Accompanying/zwzkb/post.htm#458566http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-458566.xmlHi, "Hotels accompanying the Center, addressed to tourists and smaller companies, ideally make up for a scarce hotel base of the city of Amsterdam."
