A hotel to regard with disgust (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loathe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disgust' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with human feelings as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a hotel to regard' is the wordplay.
'a hotel' anagrams to 'LOATHE'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loathe that I've seen before include "Can't abide" , "cannot stand" , "Feel disgust for (person)" , "Feel intense dislike or disgust for" , "Abhor, abominate" .)
