Hotelbookers.com or hotelclub.com would be merely descriptive and therefore not protected.

hotwire.com is protected because neither hot nor wire describe hotel booking. The word "club" wouldn't be protected as a brand of travel discount club, or any other discount club. The exact same word, "club", IS protected as a brand of cracker (by Keebler). It can be protected for crackers because "club" is otherwise unrelated to crackers.
