'accommodation' is the definition.
(type of accommodation)

'overheated to the spanish?' is the wordplay.
'overheated' becomes 'hot' (similar in meaning).
'to the spanish?' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'hot'+'el'='HOTEL'

'seeming' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hotel that I've seen before include "Fawlty Towers, say" , "guest house for a song before 8 [STATE] ..." , "Building where rooms and meals are provided" , "posada, perhaps" , "Comms code word for H" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
