You DO need a separate decoder for each digital channel.

The hotel is probably doing one of the following two things:

1. These channels are coming off analogue cable, and each TV set is cable ready.

2. (more likely) They have x cable or satellite decoders decoding the x available channels (somewhere where guests can't see them). These are then piped into each room on an rf cable at different frequencies for each station, so any TV can then tune to them.
