Greek is the first language I've learned where the words for "restaurant" and "hotel" are not "restaurant" and "hotel".

And then there's Japanese ...

(When romanized, they're restoran and hoteru.)

... crap.

But a Japanese-style inn is called a ryokan and a coffee house is called a kossaten so you *can* find native words for more specialized types of restaurant and hotel that are not "restaurant" or "hotel".
