What is the meaning of the word arms in conjunction with hotels ie Windsor Arms Hotel Carlton Arms Hotel?

Apparently, "Arms" used to indicate that an inn, pub, hotel, etc. has a coat of arms on their sign, to indicate that they had some kind of noble patron. I imagine this is not true of all places with that in the name (especially in America), as they may just be trying to sound fancy.


Where does the word arms when used of an apartment house or inn come from?

Some buildings are titled manors or halls and some call themselves arms, like the Windsor Arms in Toronto. The use of the word arms is a practice dating back to old English inns, which proudly displayed the coat of arms or heraldic insignia of the local lord above the front entrance. In America, there were no dukes or earls. Instead, they used the word arms to convey prestige. And that's why prestigious hotels and apartment buildings are sometimes known as "Arms".
