I'm not usually one to complain about asinine corporate branding, but that name...oof. "Where are you staying?" "I'm staying at FirstName Bordeaux" "What in the world? Did you just glitch out?" When your hotel name looks like a computer glitch caused by missing data, maybe you should rethink that...
"Hi, I'm staying at <datatype=FirstName>".

p.s. They may have been shooting for something like: "Yes, we are the FirstName in hotels in Bordeaux" but it still doesn't quite roll off of one's tongue, in English or French.
