Fresh hotel in Scottish city (5)
I believe the answer is:
perth
'scottish city' is the definition.
(Perth is a city in Scotland)
'fresh hotel' is the wordplay.
'fresh' becomes 'pert' (I've seen this before).
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'pert'+'h'='PERTH'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for perth that I've seen before include "Town at the head of the Tay estuary" , "Scottish/Australian city" , "Western Australia's capital" , "Australian or Scottish city" , "Period (of effort)" .)
