The X10 has a device for hotel?
I need the lights and turn off air conditioning the room when the client locked the door.

The easiest answer is NO and "well maybe".
Yes X10 can control lights and 220V 20 amp appliances with simple plug-in modules, but X10 has communication reliability problems, so may not be a good choice for hotel remote control, depending on how big the hotel is and how electrically noisy it is. Electrical noise and phase coupling are problems for the X10 signal.

Suggest you read the X10 troubleshooting tutorial to get a picture of possible problems. Then you could purchase a X10 "test kit" to see what kind of problems you can expect.

Have a software developer build a daemon that polls the database of checked out rooms and runs commands on any state changes.
