Hospitality refers to the relationship between a guest and a host, wherein the host receives the guest with goodwill, including the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. Louis, chevalier de Jaucourt describes hospitality in the Encyclopédie as the virtue of a great soul that cares for the whole universe through the ties of humanity.
Hospitality ethics is a discipline that studies this usage of hospitality.
Derives from the Latin hospes, meaning "host", "guest", or "stranger". Hospes is formed from hostis, which means "stranger" or "enemy" (the latter being where terms like "hostile" derive). By metonymy the Latin word 'Hospital' means a guest-chamber, guest's lodging, an inn. Hospes is thus the root for the English words host (where the p was dropped for convenience of pronunciation), hospitality, hospice, hostel and hotel.
In the West today hospitality is rarely a matter of protection and survival and is more associated with etiquette and entertainment. However, it still involves showing respect for one's guests, providing for their needs, and treating them as equals. Cultures and subcultures vary in the extent to which one is expected to show hospitality to strangers, as opposed to personal friends or members of one's ingroup.

Hospitality is an American Indie pop trio from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2007 and consisting of Amber Papini (vocals, guitar), Brian Betancourt (bass) and Nathan Michel (percussion). The band is currently signed to Merge Records and released their first full-length album on January 31, 2012.
Hospitality released its first self-titled EP in 2008. It came about after the band met Karl Blau at a show they both played at the Cake Shop. Blau heard Hospitality's soundcheck and asked if he could record them in exchange for Hospitality acting as his backing band sometime in the future. The EP garnered a few favorable reviews and earned Hospitality the title of band to watch from Stereogum.com.
Hospitality remained quiet for the next few years as Betancourt toured with White Rabbits and Papini tended to a death in the family. They eventually recorded their first full-length album and signed to Merge Records in September 2011.
Hey! Let me tell you now
Ooh, baby
Trying to decide, trying to decide
If I really wanna go out tonight
I never used to go out without yeah
Not sure I remember how to
Gonna be late, gonna be late
But all my girls gon' have to wait
'Cause I don't know if I like my outfit
I tried everything in my closet
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's
Taking them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you
I'ma step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay, with nothing but your t-shirt on, ooh
With nothing but your t-shirt on, hey
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong
But I'm really hurting now that you're gone
I thought maybe I'd do some shopping
But I couldn't get past the door and
Now I don't know, now I don't know
If I'm ever really gon' let you go
And I couldn't even leave my apartment
I'm stripped down, torn up about it
Now nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's
Taking them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you
I'ma step out of this lanjuare
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay, with nothing but your t-shirt on
(I'm all by myself with)
With nothing but your t-shirt on, ooh
With nothing but your t-shirt on
('Cause I missed you, 'cause I missed you)
With nothing but your t-shirt on
(Said I missed you baby)
Trying to decide, trying to decide
If I really wanna go out tonight
I couldn't even leave my apartment
I'm stripped down torn up about it
'Cause nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's
Taking them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you
I'ma step out of this lanjuare
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's
Taking them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missing you
I'ma step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay
With nothing but your t-shirt on
Said I got nothing but your t-shirt on

With nothing but your t-shirt on
