Text

"Hotel" means every building or other structure kept, used, maintained, advertised and held out to the public to be a place where food is actually served and consumed and sleeping accommodations are offered for adequate pay to travelers and guests, whether transient, permanent or residential, in which twenty-five (25) or more rooms are used for the sleeping accommodations of such guests and having one or more public dining rooms where meals are served to such guests, such sleeping accommodations and dining rooms being conducted in the same building or buildings in connection therewith and such building or buildings, structure or structures being provided with adequate and sanitary kitchen and dining room equipment and capacity. All public dining rooms, banquet rooms, meeting rooms, room service areas, mini-bars, and other locations within or adjacent to a hotel in which alcoholic liquors are stored, offered for sale, or sold at retail shall be considered part of the hotel's licensed premises if those locations within or adjacent to the hotel are owned and managed by the hotel operator. As part of the hotel's licensed premises, each and all of those locations within or adjacent to the hotel shall be maintained and managed pursuant to a single retailer's license issued by the State Commission to the hotel operator, regardless of the number of local retailer licenses mandated by the local unit of government having jurisdiction over the hotel. Public dining rooms and other locations within or adjacent to a hotel that are owned or managed by a person other than the hotel operator and are licensed by the local unit of government having jurisdiction over the hotel to a person other than the hotel operator are not considered part of the hotel's licensed premises for purposes of this Act and, as such, must be maintained and operated under separate retailer's licenses.
