c) Stationery and Paper storage: 100 ft 2 (9.3 m 2 ) per 200 guestrooms
d) New textile (“unissued”) storage (calculations per 100 guestrooms
at 100% occupancy): (a) City hotels-room textiles 60 ft 2 (5.6 m 2 ) x
1.25 and F and B textiles 75 ft 2 (7.0 m 2 ) x 0.25 and (b) Resort
hotels – as city hotels plus 25%
e) Food and Beverage Textiles (“in circulation”) storage (based on a
storage height of 6’0” and shelving 2’0” wide):
i) Ballroom and Meeting rooms: 2 ft 3 (0.06 m 3 ) per 100 ft 2 (9.3
m 2 ) of meeting space, plus
ii) Restaurants: ½ ft 3 (0.02 m 3 ) per seat, plus
iii) Room service: ½ ft 3 (0.02 m 3 ) x 75% of quantity of

guestrooms (for City hotels)
iv) Add (i) + (ii) + (iii) / 6 (convert from ft 3 to ft 2 ) x 1.25
(aisles) x 2 (separate parts) = total storage area required in
ft 2 .
