Some hotel items for the select few (5)
I believe the answer is:
elite
'select few' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'some hotel items for' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'ELITE' is hidden in the letters of 'hotel items for'.
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for elite that I've seen before include "Type size; superior group" , "twelve pitch in the office" , "Cream, the pick" , "High society" , "one of the letter sizes" .)
