Arrive at a hotel in an impoverished area (6)
I believe the answer is:
ghetto
'an impoverished area' is the definition.
'ghetto' can be an answer for 'area' (I have seen 'Segregated area ' mean 'ghetto' so perhaps 'area' could also mean 'ghetto'). I'm not sure about the 'an impoverished' bit.
'arrive at a hotel in' is the wordplay.
'arrive at' becomes 'getto' (synonyms).
'a hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'getto' placed around 'h' is 'GHETTO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ghetto that I've seen before include "Run-down area" , "Segregated part of city for minority" , "Area for those deprived" , "Ethic quarter" , "Place for minority" .)
