In this area 120 volt smoke alarms are a stand-alone unit.
Hotel/motel rooms are also required to have a heat detector that is part of the building fire alarm system.
The logic is this: Fire in room - stand alone smoke alarm goes off and wakes occupants who hopefully escape. Fire continues in room until it sets of heat detector (set at 135) which will then trigger building system to evacuate.

You also need to specify if you are talking about smoke detectors or smoke alarms.

What Pete describes has been the norm in this area for quite while.
More recently I have seen the smokes be system smokes and will report the problem to the main FACP and the FACP will sound an alarm in just that one room.

Here In Orlando we were instructed to wire 120 volt smokes with no interconnections (except for 2 room suites). The logic being if every time some guest burns his popcorn in the microwave they don't want the whole building emptied.
