This week we’re giving you a sneak peek at not one, but TWO brand-new zones coming to the final playtest, which is less than 7 days away!
Say hello to the Conference Room and the Spa Zones. These additions are designed to appeal to two very distinct (and higher-paying) guest types: Business People and The Upper Crust. Although, honestly, every guest could use a little productivity or pampering from time to time.
Let’s take a closer look at how these zones work, what they unlock, and why they’ll be game-changers for your hotel designs!
The Conference Room
Looking to impress the suit-and-tie crowd? The Conference Room is your go-to space for attracting Business People, the guests who are all about productivity, efficiency, and polished professionalism.
While the Conference Room won’t push your critic score past 3 stars, it plays a vital role in drawing Business People to your hotel. These guests aren’t just looking for a place to sleep. they want a place to work. Expect to see them taking conference calls on their laptops, gesturing passionately at whiteboards, and generally doing all sorts of “important business-y things.”
Cool tip: Business People pay more per night than your average Backpacker or Sporty guest. They’re a great step up in terms of revenue so alongside sunbathers, you’ll want to bring them to your hotel!
The Spa
If you’re aiming for a more luxurious, high-end hotel experience, the Spa is an absolute must. This is where your hotel goes from just simply nice to five-star fabulous. And here’s the kicker: if you want to attract Upper Crust guests, a Spa isn’t optional, it’s essential!
The Upper Crust are the most elite (and picky) guest type in Hotel Architect. They’ll only stay at hotels rated 5 stars by critics, and one of the key requirements to hit that top rating is, you guessed it, a Spa.
The Spa offers guests a full suite of relaxation options, including:
- Hot tubs
- Mud baths
- Massage chairs
- And more!
The It’s not just the Upper Crust that will use the Spa though, it is for all your guests to enjoy and it proves to be quite a popular attraction, particularly if you add a tanning bed for those Sunbathers so they don’t require the sunny weather to worship those rays!
We hope you're all ready for the last playtest - it's going to be a blast seeing you build in Paris!
