Occupancy load for Hotel (r-1)

[liarchitect]

please advise how to calculate occupant load for a hotel

is it residential 1:200 gross

or does it fall under something else

Lobby? Conference rooms? Banquet rooms? OL is based on all of the uses of all of the spaces in a hotel methinks...

The 1:200 applies to the residential portions (including the corridor, since it is a gross area factor). The lobby may be considered as a concentrated assembly use (1:7) if this is where registration occurs and there is an associated desk area (1:100). If it is just a vestiblule or foyer into the building, then I would include it as part of the residential gross floor area.
