The doors to the Hotel Architect playtest have officially closed, and what an incredible weekend it has been! Over the past few days, we’ve seen an amazing community come together to design, build, and manage hotels of every kind, from dream luxury getaways to absolute chaos zones.
A Huge Thank You 💖
To everyone who played, shared feedback, reported bugs, and simply enjoyed the game: THANK YOU! Your insights and enthusiasm have been invaluable in shaping the future of Hotel Architect again.
We chuckled at your wild hotel layouts, winced at the occasional disasters, and admired your clever solutions to unexpected challenges. This playtest wouldn’t have been the same without you and your inventive ways to push Gothenburg to it's limits!
5 star Hotel Creations!
We'd awarding 5 stars to a few community members who rose to the challenge of Prettiest and Ugliest Hotels!
The Prettiest Build Award goes to AfroDuckling for a beautiful purple stylish yet efficient hotel:
And The other end of the scale, with the Ugliest Build Award goes to Cameron Harrison who self-nominated his build for the award in the Discord Server with 'I present my submission for "THE UGLIEST HOTEL" award: The Old Prison Hotel. 64 rooms for Backpackers with a pea soup kitchen and nothing else'
Lastly, the Ingenuity Award, is presented to NekoNi with their pink overload build, but the award wasn't for the awesome colour ;) It was in fact for the moose antler statues! Brilliant idea, and a great way to change up the decoration!
