Gameplay
Game modes

Hotel Architect is an economic strategy in which we build hotels and manage them, turning them into profitable businesses. The development of this game was handled by Pathos Interactive. It is an independent Swedish studio from Gothenburg, which has the game Bannermen in its portfolio.

Gameplay

In Hotel Architect we watch the events in an isometric view.

Building hotels

The gameallows us to both build hotels from scratch, and to use existing foundations for this purpose, or to expand and adapt standing buildings in various ways. We can decide on the layout of individual rooms (from the lobby, through corridors, to rooms or back areas), choose the style in which they will be finished, and also select their furnishings.

Guests and staff

Of course, even the most beautiful hotel would be nothing without the people visiting it. In order to achieve five-star ratings, we need to take care of the individual needs of guests and fulfill their whims. Given that having a bed hardly enough for anyone, we need to think in advance about the kitchen and various amenities like saunas or bars.

Another pillar of the hotel's operations are its employees. The game allows us to hire subordinates, each of whom has individual character and a set of strengths and weaknesses. It is worth asg them appropriate positions, so that it does not turn out that during key moments they are not able to fulfill their duties. And there are plenty of such moments, because it's not hard to have breakdowns or other problems here. As progress is made, our staff develops, making them an increasingly valuable resource for us.

Finances

Of course, we need money for all of this. We must plan our expenses based on the income we generate, and in order to maximize the latter, we need to do everything in our power to attract as many guests as possible to our hotel.

Game modes

Hotel Architect offers a campaign, within which we are creating new hotels and facing various challenges. In addition to this, a sandbox mode has been prepared, where we can freely build subsequent objects, without looking at any restrictions imposed by the game.
