Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, gyms are often called *gimnasio* or *centro deportivo*. When speaking formally (e.g., to hotel staff), replace *tienes* with *tiene* (usted) – “¿Tiene gimnasio?”. Also, note that asking “¿Hay gimnasio?” is more common when you’re unsure if the facility exists at all, while “¿Tienes gimnasio?” sounds a bit more personal, as if you’re asking the host directly.
