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

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

'secret soldiers at hotel' is the wordplay.
'secret soldiers' becomes 'sas' (Special Air Service. I am not sure about the 'secret' bit.).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'sas'+'h'='SASH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sash that I've seen before include "Decoration for the twelfth" , "Piece of cloth round waist or shoulder" , "Waistband - type of window" , "Type of sliding window" , "Ribbon worn over the shoulder" .)
