Is the hotel a shop or an office building?

Shops are real estate specially used for business activities, and are places where operators provide commodity transactions, services and experiences to consumers. Most of them are on the first and second floors.

Office building is another name for professional commercial office building. Strictly speaking, office buildings can't be used by people. This is clearly indicated on the house property certificate. The original meaning of office building refers to the building used for office, or the building composed of offices.

The basic definition of a hotel is a business organization that provides users with a safe and comfortable space for a short rest or sleep. Generally speaking, it is a place for guests to stay and eat.

Hotels can be vaguely classified as shops, but generally speaking, hotels belong to apartments, not shops or office buildings.
