Questions & Answers about Quel hôtel canadien est-ce que vous préférez ?

Why is the adjective canadien instead of canadienne?
Adjectives must match the noun they describe. Because hôtel is masculine, we use the masculine form canadien. If we were talking about a feminine noun, like a Canadian city (une ville canadienne), you would double the final n and add an e.
Why do we use Quel instead of Quelle here?
Quel means "which" or "what" and acts like an adjective, so it has to match the noun it goes with. Since hôtel is a masculine singular noun, we use the masculine singular form Quel.
Look at the accents in préférez. Does the verb préférer always have those two accents pointing the same way?
Not always! Préférer has a spelling change in some forms. For je, tu, il/elle, and ils/elles, the second accent flips (like je préfère). But for nous and vous, it keeps the original accents from the infinitive: vous préférez.
Could I ask this question without using est-ce que?
Yes! You could use inversion by flipping the verb and the subject pronoun. The sentence would then be Quel hôtel canadien préférez-vous ? Using est-ce que is just a standard, very common way to frame the question.
