Are Hotels Multifamily Dwellings?
[!info] This question also applies to student housing and similar occupancies, sometimes generalized as "hospitality", but this term is ambiguously understood.
Whether hotel rooms are dwelling units and thus whether are hotels are multifamily dwellings per the NEC definition is contingent on the AHJ's interpretation of the requirement for permanent provisions for cooking.
[!cite] nfpa-70_100_definitions#Dwelling Unit., emphasis added
Dwelling Unit.
A single unit, providing complete and independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, and sanitation.
Anecdotal evidence from reliable forums suggests that a cord-and-plug connected microwave is generally not interpreted to meet the requirement, however I'm not separating these, at least for now.

[!trivia] The term "key" as a synonym of "hotel room" is a synecdoche, referring to the unit's door key. In the pre-digital days of hotel management, one could count the rooms of a hotel by the keys behind the front desk.
