May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a guest arrives at a person’s place in an area where there are restaurants and hotels, is he obligated to host him?

No, hospitality is required in villages and the desert where there are no places to eat or buy food, not in cities. It is not required in cities; rather, it is required in places where there are no shops selling food.
