While not a direct response to your idea, easy access to the charger is not a given. Was staying at an Embassy Suites in the Atlanta suburbs right before lock down which has two 220v. chargers outside of the building. My company has their HQ about 300 yards away in a massive office park and I mentioned the chargers to our CFO who drives an EV. He indicated he uses the connection about once a week, and just walks to the office. Even though the chargers are 4 feet from the ES, there is no signage indicating it is intended for guests.

Maybe somewhere in the future this feature would be relevant enough to warrant what you're asking but as of right now next to no hotels have this and (IMHO) I don't see a huge demand for it. Anecdotally, I've stayed twice at the Hampton Inn in Absecon New Jersey which has Tesla branded charging stations in their parking lot. Last March when I was there as I asked the AGM if he had ever seen them being used. He has been at the hotel since it opened maybe three years ago and he had never seen or heard of anyone using them. He said the franchise owner got a state tax incentive to install them and they're just sitting there rusting.
