CHECK OUT OF THE B&B AND INTO FIVE STAR LUXURY WITH JOWOOD’S NEW PC GAME HOTEL GIANT

Hotel Giant puts the player at the forefront of the tourism industry, owning and managing a hotel. The challenge is to build a prosperous business and overcome all the obstacles in the exciting world of leisure management. From a small family-owned bed and breakfast to a large, secluded mega-hotel for the stars, there are over 26 hotel styles to build and manage in more than 20 different international cities. Budding entrepreneurs can create the perfect hotel to cater for all the virtual guests. From reception to penthouse suite, the player has total control over everything that goes into making the perfect hotel; success or failure is only a holiday season away.

The player must skilfully combine the three vital elements of successful business; building the best hotel to meet the needs of potential customers; observing the guests to ensure that their every need is catered for and managing the business providing quality and happy staff, therefore achieving strong service. It is only when the player has mastered these three vital areas that they will become a true hotel tycoon. Through achieving strong profits, the player has the opportunity to turn a modest bed and breakfast into a thriving global chain.
