Dynamic Building Meets Careful Planning

Expand Your Hotel Empire to Global Heights
Expand your hotel empire across multiple locations across the globe, each with their own unique character and challenges. Some sites will come with existing structures to build on, while others are blank slates waiting for you to make your mark.
Manage Staff and Contractors
Recruit and train a capable team to keep your hotel running smoothly. Each employee has unique attributes that influence their performance, and they’ll grow and level up as they gain experience! Balance staff levels with guest needs, and coordinate with contractors to manage supplies, restock pantries, and keep every room spotless.
Welcome Your Guests
Adapt as demanding guests, special events, and unpredictable situations keep you on your toes. Meet expectations or brace yourself for the reviews!

Vegas Vibes: Guests in Las Vegas are now more likely to hit the casino floor compared to other locations.
Entertainment Boost: Casino time now counts toward your guests’ Entertainment score.

Upper Crust + Brat Guests: They’ve got standards - no more slots for them, only classy table games!
New Features & Improvements
New Decor: Add flair with the new fountain and Parisian entrance flower pots.
Attribute improvements: The caffeine addict, bar lover, and betting junkie affects are now increased to be more obvious!
That pesky luxury corner shower that ignored the copy and paste tool is no longer, it is now a square shower!

The casino zone will no longer show no assigned staff when you create a zone with only slot machines and no tables.
