Accommodating type from the Loire in trouble (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hotelier

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accommodating type' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'the loire in trouble' is the wordplay.
'in trouble' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'loire'='theloire'
'theloire' with letters rearranged gives 'HOTELIER'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hotelier that I've seen before include "One offering tourist accommodation" , "One supplies accommodation" , "I can offer you accommodation" , "Owner of the Savoy, say" , "One such as Conrad Hilton" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
