Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/飯店 vs 酒店
hotel · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 飯店; on the Mainland it is 酒店 - both point at “hotel”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 飯店、酒店 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
飯店 is L1 vocabulary on the TOCFL 华语八千词 list; 酒店 is HSK 2 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
