Transform empty property lots to packed profitable hotels! With excellent architecture and management skills, the stars will soon start flooding into your hotels.

Create your hotel from scratch! Design the layout and hire a construction firm that sends its workers to lay the foundation and rise your walls. You can then choose freely which activities to be conducted in certain parts of your establishment. Install amenities, place decorations and choose between different wallpapers and flooring. When your wallet is big enough, you are able to expand your hotel by buying new property lots. Prices may vary between lots depending on their location - lots directly adjecent to historic sites or other tourist attractions tend to be expensive.

Hotel Architect plays out on different locations all over the world, such as England, Paris, Amazonas, Egypt and Las Vegas. Each location has its own challenges with different guest archetypes. Knowing the costumers better than they know themselves is the key here. By adjusting the type of services provided you can effectively integrate into any environment.

”We are super happy to present Hotel Architect, and thereby finally reveal what our team has been working on for some time now”, says Co-Founder Accel Sjöström. “We hope that gamers around the world are excited and eager to sign up for the beta.”

Certain actions must go through one of your three advisors - Accountant, Manager and Lawyer. Your advisors are your loyal servants, but may become unavailable if their influence is too badly damaged from failing your risky requests. Asking for illegal actions can limit their ability to do their job and cost them their freedom.

• Accountant: The Accountant may apply for loans and guide you on how to increase your credit rating by making some magic with the financial reports. Used properly, her economic wizardry sways the banks in your favor.
• Manager: The Manager helps you adopt new policies which can improve the service offered by your hotel. He can also seek business partners, acquiring new sources of income.
• Lawyer: The Lawyer is covering your back and he will launch into a full-scale court battle at the faintest whiff of allegations against you. Your partners may lend him services, should they pursue a risky path. He is also an expert at negotiating subsidies with your local friendly politicians.

Logistics is all about balance! Optimize the number of facilities, appliances, and staff needed to accommodate the stream of guests. Every action in the logistic chains plays out before your eyes. No clean plates and utensils in the kitchen? Then the waitress will have to wait for the plates to be cleaned in order to be able to serve the guests their food. Perhaps you need more personell to handle the cleaning of the plates, or maybe add a dishwasher?

You are not your own harshest critic. The culinary and hospitality reviewers will look in every nook and cranny of your hotels. Maybe a chocolate on the bed and whole lot of luck can save you? When getting higher critics and user reviews, you attract more guests that are willing to pay better for your services. Squeeze them for every penny, and you are on your way of creating a magnificent hotel empire!

Key Features:

• Endless Sandbox Gameplay: Choose freely between all unlocked locations and configure a custom setup (guests types, etc). Start off with an emtpy lot, and build up your hotel from scratch. Let your imagination run wild by experimenting with everything from layout, wallpapers and objects-skins.
• 100% Observable Logistics: Every action in the logostic chain plays out before your eyes. No clean plates and utensils in the kitchen? Then the waitress will have to wait for the plates to be cleaned in order to be able to serve the guests their food. More personell to handel the cleaning of the plates or maybe add a dishwasher?
• Dynamic Guests & Preferences: Your guests constantly rate everything from waiting time to the quality of the service and atmosphere. Depending on which type of guest type it is they will prefer different activities. So, in theory a Backpacker type could be completely satisfied while an Upper Crust guest will disapprove. Your reviews and critic ratings are correlated but not necessarily the same.
