The correct answer is will have reached the hotel.

Key Points

  • I will have reached the hotel, by the time you call me- the sentence is in the future perfect tense. 
  • The future perfect tense is used to indicate the completion of an action by a certain time in the future.
  • When we say that an action will be completed within a certain period of time in the future or between two actions one action will be completed before the other, that means it is future perfect tense.
  • Also, between two actions, the one which will be completed before the other action, we use future perfect tense in that case, and for the action that will be completed afterward, we use the simple present tense of the verb there.
    • Example- I shall have done the work before my father comes.
  • So, here in the sentence, the work that will be completed after is in the simple present tense- "by the time you call me." and the action that will be completed before should be in the future perfect tense- "I will have reached the hotel."


Correct Sentence: I will have reached the hotel, by the time you call me.
