Yes, a hotel is considered a commercial development. Commercial development generally refers to real estate projects intended to generate revenue through business activities rather than residential use. This includes properties like:
- Hotels and resorts
- Office buildings
- Retail centers and malls
- Industrial parks and warehouses
- Restaurants
So, since a hotel is built to operate as a business and generate income, it falls squarely under commercial development.
