A developer compared two projects in 2026: a 60-room hotel with a lobby and restaurant, and a 60-unit apartment building. She argued that the hotel should be treated like housing because guests sleep there, so ADA Title III would not apply. Which statement is most accurate?

Correct Answer

D) Hotels are generally treated as places of public accommodation under ADA Title III

Hotels are generally public accommodations under ADA Title III because they offer lodging and related services to the public. That is different from the way federal fair-housing accessibility rules apply to apartment dwellings, so the developer's housing-only argument is incorrect.

Answer Options
A
Only local zoning rules apply once a hotel is privately owned
B
The Fair Housing Act design rules govern hotels in the same way they govern apartment dwellings
C
No federal accessibility law applies if a hotel is newly constructed
D
Hotels are generally treated as places of public accommodation under ADA Title III
