A hotel pan is the perfect size to fit an entire steam well. In the olden days, no mom & pop restaurant would have such equipment; only hotels (think Ritz-Carlton or Waldorff-Astoria) would have the seating capacity to use such things. Large French restaurants would use a sheet-metal cover over the well with round holes for bain-maries, so they wouldn't use them either. Anything the French used got a French name, since they were the first to codify the restaurant arts.
