Med resort keeps hotel in suitable place (5)
I believe the answer is:
niche
'suitable place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'med resort keeps hotel' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'hotel' could be 'h' (phonetic alphabet) and 'h' is found within the answer.
'resort' could be 'nice' (French coastal resort) and 'nice' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for niche that I've seen before include "ideal position" , "Well-suited position" , "Nook, cranny" , "Suitable slot" , "Specialised corner of the market" .)
