Indeed it seems to be related to the DNS.
On CentOS, after connecting to the wireless network, I hacked the
/etc/resolv.conf generated by the NetworkManager and added Google
Public DNS to it.
I could then access all websites via their domain name

Agreed. Many hotels have a proxy that requires agreement to their TOS as a
default first HTTP page. You won't even be able to resolve names on the
outside until this happens. If you have a static DNS entry, you might not
get the TOS page.

Hello,
I'm currently travelling (in south-eastern Europe) with a netbook
(Samsung NC 10) running CentOS 5.4 i386.
I frequently try to access internet from bars or hotels (mostly via wireless).
Although it works pretty often, it happens quite regularly that in
some hotels I cannot access internet
