So what's the question?
AP in every room means you need a switch that will support uPoE (don't bother looking at PoE+ because new future APs are power hungry). This means you want a switch that can be stacked. 9200/9300 comes into mind.
Next, you'll need high-speed uplinks (plural). So this means SFP+ in an etherchannel. You'll also need a core/distro that can support SFP+. 9500 is a candidate.
Note: I'm not going down the 3650/3850 solution because we know how long this model has left.
You'll need a firewall appliance that will support IDS/IPS. A router than can support 200 Mbps, that's the ISR 4451.
110 APs means a WLC. WLC3504 supports up to 150 APs so this will fit.
For APs, I'd still go with 2800. You won't need BLE tracking?
Here's an important question: ZIGBEE? Will you need Zigbee support or not?
What about phones?

Regarding the WLC,
can it be integrated with Propery management system,
like when guest check in, password will be generated by the system

Yes, there are a lot of system that can do this.
But remember that WiFi in a hotel is not there to generate money. WiFi in a hotel must be treated as an "expense account".
This means that getting a system that produces randomly-generated password requires money to setup and manage.
A lot of hotels either provide WiFi with PSK or they tie the back-end authentication server to your hotel booking (as in, if you are a guest, then enter your room number and last name. If these two items match then proceed to the internet).
