She has a hotel by the meadow (4)
I believe the answer is:
leah
'she' is the definition.
'a hotel by the meadow' is the wordplay.
'a hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the meadow' becomes 'lea' (a lea is a grassy area).
'h' after 'lea' is 'LEAH'.
'has' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for leah that I've seen before include "her elder sister" , "She married Jacob" , "Hale (anag) - wife of Jacob" , "Jacob's first wife (Bible)" , "Heal (anag) - girl" .)
