The adjective 'allgemeine' qualifies the noun 'Geschosse' here, i.e. it is the floors that are 'general' rather than the 'Nutzung' to which they are put. (It would be hard to conceive of a floor that did not serve some 'purpose'.)

Much depends on the meaning of 'Haupthaus' and ‘ab’. Is there any indication of whether this hotel has a main block with other blocks attached or is a single high-rise structure?

floors for public use or main floors


Explanation:
without seeing the drawings themselves, I would say that this refers to the main floors of the hotel that are open to the public, as opposed to the floors of guest rooms, or typical floors.

such publicly accessed spaces are commonly on the ground level, a mezzanine level, and sometimes a lower level
