a hotel containing at least 50 sleeping rooms or who may hereafter
construct and establish a new hotel containing at least 50 sleeping
rooms. Any license issued pursuant to this section shall be conditioned
upon the continued operation of the establishment as a hotel containing

shall subject the license to revocation. No license issued pursuant
to this section shall be renewed or transferred except for premises
