A large number of high-end hotels have Tesla "destination chargers", which you can generally use if you eat in their restaurant.
I've been out wine tasting and have run into Tesla destination chargers.

Not just "high-end" hotels. On my recent trip round-trip Florida-Texas drive in my Model 3, I stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn and two Hampton Inns that had Tesla Destination Chargers. It was nice to pull in with 10-20% charge and pull out in the AM fully charged and not paid anything extra for it.
Hotels have facilities that aren't used after breakfast until the evening, however they still have to have a lot of staff on-site during these hours.
You could have nice food and coffee instead of motorway service station junk, with booking facilities so you can have that coffee ready as you walk through the door and your parking spot for the charging reserved.
This could work really well in the more scenic parts of the world where there is a lot of the infrastructure built out already, just the right plugs with the right volts and amps needed.
