City’s hotel in short somewhere for a chap to go (5)
I believe the answer is:
ghent
'city's' is the definition.
(Belgian city)
'hotel in short somewhere for a chap to go' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'somewhere for a chap to go' becomes 'gents' (as in the gentlemen's toilets).
'gents' with its final letter taken off is 'gent'.
'h' going into 'gent' is 'GHENT'.
(Other definitions for ghent that I've seen before include "source of good news" , "European city" , "NW Belgian city" , "City of northwest Belgium, known for its cloth industry" , "Belgian port" .)
