les hôtels

Would you say les hôtels since hôtels starts with a 'h'? Or is there some form of abbreviation like l' but for the plural term?

Hôtels is plural, so the article needs to be les. Since only words ending in -e have the vowel dropped (i.e., le hôtel --> l'hôtel), les  is unchanged. Hence, les hôtels is correct.
