Difference between 'in two hours' and 'for two hours'

Hello. What is the difference between "I wiil be in your hotel for two hours" and "I will be in your hotel in two hours"? Both sentences are correct? And what will change if I replace "in your hotel" on "at your hotel"?
Thank you

"I will be in your hotel in two hours" means that the speaker will arrive at the hotel two hours after speaking. "I will be in your hotel for two hours" means that the speaker plans to spend two hours in the hotel. If I am in the hotel, I am inside the building.

  • "I will be in your hotel in two hours" means that the speaker will arrive at the hotel two hours after speaking.
  • "I will be in your hotel for two hours" means that the speaker plans to spend two hours in the hotel.
  • If I am in the hotel, I am inside the building.
  • If I am at the hotel, I could be standing in front of it, though in the second sentence there is no real difference in meaning between the two prepositions.
