Lugar carries a set of fixed phrases where English uses nothing like «place»: en lugar de is instead of, tener lugar is to take place, en primer lugar opens a list the way firstly does, and dar lugar a is to give rise to. None of them survive a word-by-word translation.
The plural is regular — lugar, lugares — and the stress stays put, lu-GAR, lu-GA-res, so no written accent is ever needed. As a plain noun lugar is the neutral choice; sitio is the everyday spoken alternative in Spain and often sounds warmer; local is not a place in general but a commercial premises, a shop unit. And a place in the sense of a seat at a table is un sitio, never un lugar.
