Question
Does one need to make an eruv chatzerot when staying in a hotel on Shabbat?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
There are many details regarding this issue, and each case should be asked about separately.
However, I will write some basic rules on this matter:
A. If the owner has the right to change and replace guests in the rooms, an eruv is not required.
B. If everyone eats together in a common dining room for all meals, an eruv is not required.
C. If they eat together only some of the meals, there is a dispute. Some have instructed to make an eruv without a blessing.
D. When there are guests in the hotel who do not acknowledge the eruv, such as non-Jews or Jews who do not observe Shabbat, it is necessary to rent their domain.
