Jabirbht;
There is no ASME standard for chimney design/construction. You have several options; brick lined, Corten steel structure, or all Corten steel structure. I would contact an A/E firm that specializes in Power Generation project for further advice.

I guess it depends on how one defines "chimney" but I've used ASME STS-1 once or twice. Too long ago for me to remember details, but it's there and may be useful if you're looking at a steel stack with or without refractory lining.

But this chimney will be installed in a hotel building and will have about 100m height.

Building codes in most Jurisdictions have strict definitions for stack and chimney enforcement. Check with your local building codes on their terminology, and seek professional help from a qualified A/E firm. You cannot take chances in dealing with the public safety.
