Hook up in Asian hotel, did you say? (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
tie in
'hook up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'in asian hotel did you say?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'tie' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tie in that I've seen before include "Commercial connection" , "Draw" , "Programme link" , "Coordinate" , "Correspondence" .)
