Musical mother, on her return, welcomed by hotel (8)
I believe the answer is:
hamilton
'musical' is the definition.
'mother on her return welcomed by hotel' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'on' could be 'to' and 'to' is located in the answer.
'her' could be 'amil' and 'amil' is located in the answer.
'hotel' could be 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'h' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains 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 hamilton that I've seen before include "in Scotland or Bermuda" , "Capital of Bermuda -- musical (opened in New York, 2015)" , "Port in Canada - capital of Bermuda" , "Former Tory MP" , "Motorist" .)
