Studies can demonstrate the role of space for hospitality; especially for urban hospitality. However, the association of the city space as urban image and landscape of the lodgings as an attribute of urban hospitality, is not yet adequately contemplated by a bibliography of this theme. Purpose:The objective of this research is to systematize the hospitality in lodgings, which was potentially constructed from internal spaces of lodgings, but can also be observed on the scale of the city, therefore the lodging as a factor of urban hospitality – yet little systematic for thematic bibliography. Methodology/Design: Therefore,the research is characterized as exploratory, supported by bibliographic survey and reading, as well as casestudies and empirical analyzes made in light under of the ideal representation (Peirce´s semiotic). In the selection of what is to represent, it is possible to identify a intellection, by the subject issuer (lodgings architecture),propose ideologies; and as such, the architecture of lodging can be a sign of urban hospitality. The interpretive method of evaluation of the results was supported by the theories of urban hospitality, especially with the work of Lucio Grinover (2007) who seek refuge in the urbanization theories about image and urban landscape in Kevin Lynch's work. Findings and originality: The results infer about the possibility of urban hospitality or of the city built through of lodgings.
