Word Usage

I was wondering if it is appropriate to use the phrase "hotel visitors" when talking about hotel guests or if "visitors" is only used when talking about people in museums and similar institutions. Thanks in advance.

What about a restaurant? Can I say that people who are at a restaurant are restaurant visitors?

No. It's unidiomatic. They are customers.
