Have a hotel where all the guest rooms have permanent cooking equipment; therefore have layout outlets based on the requirements of a "dwelling unit" since this meet the definition.
Question - can NEC table 220-32 be used to determined the service entrance requirements. (used the dwelling unit loads only for this calculation; will add all other building loads not qualifying for the dwelling unit).
 
220-32 is now 220.84 in the 2005 code. If your hotel meets all of the requirements of this section, then it may be used. All non-dwelling type loads and the "house" loads will need to be computed using part "III" of Article 220.
 
I agree that you can use the 220.84. Don't forget the small appliance circuits. I recently converted a bunch of motel rooms to dwelling units when the motel owner added cook tops. He pitched a holy fit when I told him in addition to the circuit for the cook top, he now needed 2 small appliance circuits in each room also.
