Accommodation stolen by the Spanish (5)
I believe the answer is:
hotel
'accommodation' is the definition.
(type of accommodation)
'stolen by the spanish' is the wordplay.
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'hot'+'el'='HOTEL'
(Other definitions for hotel that I've seen before include "Lodge" , "Holiday venue" , "Letter of the alphabet" , "temporary accommodation" , "It keeps guests" .)
