Please provide links to show we're housing the majority of refugees in four-star hotels whilst France, Germany, etc house them in tents.

Not tents, but not 4 star hotels either.

Following the reform of June 2019, asylum seekers are generally obliged to stay in an initial reception centre for a period of up to 18 months after their application has been lodged (Aufnahmeeinrichtung).[16] An obligation to stay in these centres for a maximum of 24 months can be imposed by Federal States since July 2017 (see Freedom of movement).[17] Furthermore, asylum seekers from safe countries of origin are obliged to stay there for the whole duration of their procedures.

They are for some strange reason only too happy to trudge through France etc, at most living in tents.

Accommodation facilities for asylum seekers under the national reception scheme (dispositif national d’accueil, DNA) are the following:
- Accommodation centres for asylum seekers (CADA);
- Emergency accommodation for asylum seekers (HUDA, AT-SA, PRAHDA, Reception and orientation centres (CAO, Centre d’accueil et d’orientation));
- Reception and administrative situation examination centres (CAES).

In practice, there is a discrepancy between the type of places available and the reality of asylum seekers in France. Many reception centres have been organised so as to receive families or couples, thereby making it difficult for single men or women to be accommodated. A 2023 parliamentary report contrasts this with the fact that, at least in the context of regional orientation, 61.8% of asylum seekers were single men, 27.1% families and 11.1% single women, while of the 3,000 empty accommodation units available in July 2021 (corresponding to 5,000 people), 71% were places designed to accommodate families.[5] At the national level, in 2023, 41.6% of accommodated people were single persons and 58.4% were part of a family.[6]

So while some may be housed in hotels as a last resort, most are held in large reception centres, eg large former airport.
