We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!
The team are now back from their holidays too and we're working on our next update which we're very happy to say it will be landing in game on January 29th.
We know many of you have been asking for more management tools and ways to make your hotel more customizable. Well, the wait is almost over!
Before we get into the update details, we also wanted to announce that Hotel Architect will have a free play weekend at the end of the month. This will be access to the full game, so if you have friends that haven't tried yet, they can give the game a go from January 29th to February 2nd!
Now onto the juicy stuff you've all been waiting for...
