Many hotels in Europe (and no doubt in other places) take possession of your passport.

A UK passport is the property of the UK government; as far as I'm aware, it's forbidden for a UK passport holder to voluntarily surrender it to a third party.

Citation needed. I have traveled a lot and I've never, anywhere in the world, had a hotel attempt to hold onto my passport longer than it takes them to photocopy it for ID purposes.

I haven't travelled internationally for a long time, so I withdraw my remark in deference to your greater experience.

I have, and I have had a motorbike rental place hold my passport as a deposit on the bike.
