How it's used
This phrase carries a specific, often stigmatized connotation related to the sex industry or high-end hostess clubs. It implies a transactional relationship where the woman provides companionship that extends into private, intimate settings. Using this term is blunt and carries a strong moral or social judgment, so it is rarely used in polite or professional company.
Examples
She works in an industry where she often has to go to hotels with customers.
Do you know why she has to go to hotels with customers?

Common phrases

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply booking a room for a client or colleague in a business context, which would be described as 幫客訂房. Using 陪客開房 in a business setting will be interpreted as a serious accusation of illicit activity.
