word choice - How to thank somebody for their hospitality?

I've found several words for "hospitality" but don't know which is closest to English:



  • 款待{かんたい}

  • 持{も}て成{な}し


  • 厚情{こうじょう}


I also wouldn't be surprised if the best way to thank somebody in this way in Japanese might not even involve one of these words but rather be phrased very differently to the English expression for language or cultural reasons.
