Thanks everyone for the input.

In this case I'm going with landuse=retail.  The hotel itself is tagged 
building=yes, tourism=hotel.

I suppose if a hotel is surrounded by commercial landuse then there's no 
point making a little retail island to hold it.

I guess even for business-hotels, or is there a distinction made?

IMHO  building=hotel is better than building=yes

The question is what to use for landuse=
Currently there SHOULD be a landuse/natural tag for each area on a map as 
using amenity= creates another level of complexity. One may still has to 
decide what to use for landuse if the tag itself is missing. I still think 
'landuse=natural' with a sub tag of natural= is the correct framework ...

In the UK hotels are a retail activity although a specific classification of 
retail, but the landuse=retail fits the current tag structure but the BLPU 
classifications are a little more practical than that.
This would give landuse=residential and landuse=commercial with secondary tags 
taken from amenity= but logically a residential=xx or commercial=xx is a lot 
more practical.

Appendix A of http://www.nlpg.org.uk/documents/DTF7.3v1.pdf has the details, 
or http://enquirysolve.co.uk/nlpg/list_county.php?list=blpu_class has a 
sortable list. All land in the UK is already classified under this scheme and 
from what I've seen, something similar is evolving in Europe?

For the area of the hotel:
amenity=hotel

And for the hotel itself:
amenity=hotel, building=yes

(For reference see amnenity=university)

I'd almost suggest residential, it's where people are residing, even  
if not permanently.

commercial suggests office buildings, which are deserted at night.
doesn't retail imply 'open to passersby' rather than 'physical
products sold'?
