Is the word hotéis the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "hotéis" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and the rhythm is more musical (syllable-timed). In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels tend to be more closed or reduced, giving the word a more "clipped" or staccato sound.
