Lighting Candles for a Hotel Guest

Question

I am staying at a hotel during Shabbat Hanukkah, and it is forbidden to light a fire there. Apart from the lobby, which is not connected to the dining area or sleeping area, where should one light? 

Answer

Shalom Rav and Happy Hanukkah

Since you do not have a suitable place to light in the hotel, appoint an emissary to light at your home.
