Explanation:
Hola, Myriam1943:

Esta es la definición de public accommodation que se ofrece en el sitio web oficial de la Equal Employment Opportunity Commission:

"A public accommodation is a private entity that owns, operates, leases, or leases to, a place of public accommodation. Places of public accommodation include a wide range of entities, such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, doctors' offices, pharmacies, retail stores, museums, libraries, parks, private schools, and day care centers". Fuente: https://www.eeoc.gov/facts/adaqa2.html

Esto es lo que aparece en la traducción oficial de esta página web:

"Un establecimiento de servicio público es una entidad privada que posee, opera, alquila o toma en alquiler un lugar para prestar servicios al público. Entre los establecimientos de servicio público existe una amplia variedad de entidades, como restaurantes, hoteles, teatros, consultorios médicos, farmacias, comercios minoristas, museos, bibliotecas, parques, escuelas privadas y guarderías infantiles". Fuente: https://www.ada.gov/faqada_spanish.htm

Esta es la definición que aparece en el Black's Law Dictionary:

"public accommodation. A business that provides lodging, food, entertainment, or other services to the public; esp. (as defined by the Civil Rights Act of 1964), one that affects interstate commerce or is supported by state action".

Generally speaking, it may help to think of public accommodations as most (but not all) businesses or buildings that are open to (or offer services to) the general public. More specifically, the definition of a "public accommodation" can be broken down into two types of businesses / facilities:

Government-owned/operated facilities, services, and buildings
Privately-owned/operated businesses, services, and buildings
