A hotel is listed under the year of the earliest date Wikidata gives for its official opening or, where it gives none, its inception. For a building converted into a hotel, the inception is often that of the building. Hotels that have since closed are included. Decades with at least 25 dated hotels have a list of their own. Within each year, hotels are in alphabetical order.[1][2]
