Like you said, there are many different types of work and jobs at a hotel. The two main divisions are the Rooms Division and the Food & Beverage Department. You then get namely the Accounts Departments, Human Resource, Sales & Marketing and Recreational (i.e. SPA or GYM), depending how big the establishment is.
Under the Rooms Division you have namely the Front Office,Night Audit, Reservation, Housekeeping & Maintenance
Under Food & Beverage will be namely the Restaurant, Room Service, Kitchen, Bar, Banqueting & Conference
As for the other departments such as Accounts Departments, Human Resource, Sales & Marketing and Recreational. They are more specialised so it speaks for itself.

I hope this may give you a vague idea of that the Hospitality Industry is like. This is a wonderful industry to work in if you love people!
If you get really confused, think of a hotel as a small city. What does a city need? Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Accounts, Maintenance... etc.

Start at hotel front desk, basically just checking in the customers on computer, giving keys to their rooms, calling for room service for them, and checkin them out of room, then you move up to ***'t manager and then manager who overlooks everything and cash flow.
