A preposition is a short word or set of words that indicates location, time or some other relationship between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence. And it's followed by the object of the preposition.
These are prepositions because they show a relationship in space ("on the top" and "of the new hotel") and they're followed by a noun phrase or pronoun ("the top" and "the new hotel"), which are the objects of the prepositions.
