Union member seen in Almeida Hotel (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idaho

'union member' is the definition.
(the USA is a union of states)

'in almeida hotel' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'IDAHO' is hidden within 'almeida hotel'.

'seen' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for idaho that I've seen before include "agricultural land" , "found in America" , "State of north-west USA" , "US state, capital Boise" , "Rocky Mountain state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
