The Spanish at very warm inn (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hotel

'inn' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the spanish at very warm' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'very warm' becomes 'hot' (I've seen this before).
'el' put after 'hot' is 'HOTEL'.

(Other definitions for hotel that I've seen before include "The Dorchester, say" , "Accommodation building" , "Building with rooms to stay in" , "A modern inn" , "Holiday venue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
