Italian word
albergo
hotel
Looks like
alberg (Catalan for hotel) — not an English false friend per se
no direct English word — English speakers may not recognise it
⚠️ The trap
English speakers sometimes confuse 'albergo' with 'alley' or 'arbour'. It is the standard Italian word for hotel. A 5-star hotel is 'albergo a cinque stelle'.
To say "no direct English word — English speakers may not recognise it" in Italian:
albergo
"albergo" in English means:
hotel
Example
"L'albergo si trova a due passi dalla piazza principale."
"The hotel is just a short walk from the main square."
