Why is it that hot water in a hotel comes out instantly but at home it takes time?

In home systems, the water sits a while stagnant in the pipes until you open the valve to let some out. It takes a bit of time for the hottest water to reach the open valve. Many commercial buildings have a recirculating hot water system in which asmall pump circulates the water from the hot water tank, out through the system and returns it to the tank. City water pressure still forces it out the tap when you open the valve, but since the water is never stagnant,it never cools off in the pipes, and so it is always hot when you open the tap.
