Woman showing compassion in a Beirut hotel (4)

I believe the answer is:

ruth

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

'woman' is the definition.

'in a beirut hotel' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RUTH' can be found hidden inside 'beirut hotel'.

'showing compassion' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ruth that I've seen before include "Remorse in Book of Bible?" , "Girl" , "Old word for pity, or Bible book" , "once felt for a Moabite woman" , "Girl's name - compassion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
