Question

hôtels de peintre

a painter's hotel. What is a painter's hotel?

Answer 1

Hi Sandy,

I am a native French speaker, and as I expected, after doing a bit of research, "Hôtels de peintre" is not an idiomatic expression. In what context was it used? This would be helpful.

Anyway, translating it word for word, is the safest: A painter's hotel.
