Not at the slightest. I suppose it's just a marketing thing where french sounding names are supposed to be more appealing or tell something about the food or atmosphere at the hotel. And based on a very quick visit at booking.com I don't see any french sounding hotels at Berlin, so I don't know how many there actually are. I'm sure there's some around like everywhere in the world, but I think majority is something else.
And there's a lot of shared history between countries, so that can mix things up in various ways.
My daughter actually said something like that, that the French names probably just sound fancier, especially to Americans. That would jive with ladyofthrowaway's post above, too.
