Don't know about current usage, but it used to be an hotel (pronouncing the
h), but I can't think of any other words where 'an' precedes a prounounced
'h'.
Some UK accents make deciding what's been said quite difficult when the 'n'
from an tends to be run into the next word. Taking the

Hello Tamara
Take history; it's almost always preceded by an when written.
Should I, then, say an istorical fact? Same for hotel. I know the
h is silent *in French*, but, should I say an otel reservation in
English?
And, yesterday - in an otherwise great book - I got another one: an
I, too, think, an hotel is correct grammar. I have very, very vague
memories of the explanation why. I think it comes from the French who do not
pronounce the h. it's l'hotel isn't it? (Question for our French members).
French
was the language of society in this country for a long time.
Okay, according to my grammar book (p131, Rediscover Grammar, David
Crystal, Longman 1996):
the use of a or an varies before
a few words beginning with h,
such as hotel and historical. The
latter form is often felt to be old-fashioned.
so there you go! I think

And all through history, n at the beginning of a word has tended to come
and go. A word that begins with a vowel will latch onto the n from an
and keep it as its own, and people will accuse words that came by their ns
honestly of stealing them, and snatch them away.
reminds me of my friend
Tamara, I think it is just which way is easier, really.
Your main surmise regarding the a or an before a vowel or consonant is
correct, but, as Always with English there are the exceptions!!!
Definitely keep sounding your H's where you usually do ( don't start
sounding Cockney!!!)
