Answer: Many Halakhic authorities, including the late Rabbi Yosef Soloveitchik and Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, instructed that one should place the Shabbat candles directly on the table where the Shabbat meals are served. They noted that the entire purpose for the institution of Shabbat candles was in order to illuminate the table on which one eats. If, however, there are extenuating circumstances that do not allow one to place the candles directly on the table, then the candles should be placed as close to the table as possible. The above refers to the householder, who can kindle the candles at the table. A guest, however, who is staying in a hotel, should kindle lights in their hotel room and not where the Shabbat meals will be eaten (see Mishna Brurah 263: 45-46).
