The recommended size of hotel elevators can vary depending on factors such as the type and size of the hotel, its peak occupancy, and applicable building codes and regulations. However, as a general guideline, many experts suggest that hotel elevators should have a minimum interior size of 5 feet (1.52 meters) wide and 8 feet (2.44 meters) deep. This size is typically considered adequate to accommodate luggage carts, wheelchair users, and multiple guests comfortably. Additionally, the elevator should have a minimum door width of 3 feet (0.91 meters) to allow easy access and movement. It's vital for hotels to consult with architects, engineers, and local building authorities to ensure compliance with specific regulations and requirements.
