Hotels are R-1, the following is applicable to R-1 doors:
From the 2017 (6th Edition) FBC-Building: (underlining is mine)
SECTION 1008
- DOORS, GATES AND TURNSTILES
- - 1008.1 Doors.
- - - Means of egress doors shall meet the requirements of this section. Doors serving a means of egress system shall meet the requirements of this section and Section 1020.2. Doors provided for egress purposes in numbers greater than required by this code shall meet the requirements of this section. For accessibility provisions related to doors, refer to the Florida Building Code, Accessibility.
- - - Means of egress doors shall be readily distinguishable from the adjacent construction and finishes such that the doors are easily recognizable as doors. Mirrors or similar reflecting materials shall not be used on means of egress doors. Means of egress doors shall not be concealed by curtains, drapes, decorations or similar materials.
- - - 1008.1.1 Size of doors.
- - - - The minimum width of each door opening shall be sufficient for the occupant load thereof and shall provide a clear width of 32 inches (813 mm). Clear openings of doorways with swinging doors shall be measured between the face of the door and the stop, with the door open 90 degrees (1.57 rad). Where this section requires a minimum clear width of 32 inches (813 mm) and a door opening includes two door leaves without a mullion, one leaf shall provide a clear opening width of 32 inches (813 mm). The maximum width of a swinging door leaf shall be 48 inches (1219 mm) nominal. Means of egress doors in a Group I-2 occupancy used for the movement of beds shall provide a clear width not less than 411/2 inches (1054 mm). The height of door openings shall not be less than 80 inches (2032 mm).
- - - - - Exceptions:
- - - - - - 1. The minimum and maximum width shall not apply to door openings that are not part of the required means of egress in Group R-2 and R-3 occupancies.
- - - - - - - (Jerry's comment: This exception, exception 1, clarifies that the intent of "1008.1 Doors." and its "Doors serving a means of egress system ... " includes doors which 'serve' but are not 'part of' the egress system by specifically exempting such doors out Group R-2 and R-3 occupancies, while leaving R-1 and other occupancies out of the exception.)
- - - - - - 2. Door openings to resident sleeping units in Group I-3 occupancies shall have a clear width of not less than 28 inches (711 mm).
- - - - - - 3. Door openings to storage closets less than 10 square feet (0.93 m2) in area shall not be limited by the minimum width.
- - - - - - - (Jerry's comment: This exception, exception 3, further clarifies that intent by excluding closets which are less that 10 square feet. Bathrooms will be larger than that 10 square feet, allowing a person to be further 'in' the room or space than one could get 'in' a less than 10 square foot closet.)
- - - - - - 4. Width of door leaves in revolving doors that comply with Section 1008.1.4.1 shall not be limited.
- - - - - - 5. Door openings within a dwelling unit or sleeping unit shall not be less than 78 inches (1981 mm) in height.

- - - - - There shall not be projections into the required clear width lower than 34 inches (864 mm) above the floor or ground. Projections into the clear opening width between 34 inches (864 mm) and 80 inches (2032 mm) above the floor or ground shall not exceed 4 inches (102 mm).
