(1) タクシーを
Takushii o yonde itadakemasu ka.
Could you call a taxi for me please?
(2) タクシーを
Takushii o yonde moraemasu ka.
Could you call a taxi for me please?
Explanation
You can use either one of the above phrases to ask the hotel staff to call a taxi for you. “~ itadakemasu ka” and “~ moraemasu ka” both means “would you do (something) for me”.
However, “~ itadakemasu ka” is more polite so it may be good to use this to ask someone for a favour instead.
