New hostel provides accommodation for lodgers (6)

I believe the answer is:

hotels

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accommodation for lodgers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'new hostel' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hostel' is an anagram of 'HOTELS'.

'provides' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hotels that I've seen before include "Lodging houses" , "Inns, lodgings" , "Places to stay" , "Buildings for travellers" , "Ritz and Hilton are" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
