Why are there hotels with only seven floors?

Probably because the building height should be controlled within 24 meters. At this time, the building is not a high-rise building, and the fire code is much looser. Each floor of the hotel is generally not less than 2.8 meters, and the bottom floor is often a higher-level function such as business. If it is an 8-story building, plus the indoor and outdoor height difference and the roof parapet, it is very difficult to maintain it within 24 meters. There is also a saying that the seventh floor is the limit that the brick-concrete structure with bottom frame can reach.
