Significado
Accommodation that costs a lot of money.
Contexto cultural
In the High Tatras, 'drahý hotel' often refers to historical 'Grand Hotels' from the early 20th century. These are cultural landmarks. The capital has seen a surge in international luxury chains. Locals might call them 'drahé hotely' with a mix of pride and a sense that they are for foreigners. There is a tradition of 'spa hotels' (kúpeľné hotely). A 'drahý hotel' in a spa town like Piešťany usually includes medical treatments. Younger Slovaks use 'drahý hotel' ironically when they find a hostel that is unexpectedly pricey.
Case Matters
Always remember to change 'drahý' to 'drahom' when saying you are *in* the hotel.
Don't say 'Milý'
If you call a hotel 'milý', people will think you mean it's 'cute' or 'friendly', not expensive.

Use 'Príliš'
Add 'príliš' (too) before 'drahý' to sound more like a native when complaining about prices.
Tipping
Even in a 'drahý hotel' in Slovakia, tipping is expected but not as aggressive as in the US. 10% is plenty.
