Hotel Architect Has Eight Destinations and a Broader Management System
With the addition of the Black Forest and London, the total area available at Hotel Architect now stands at eight destinations. Previously, game It already features Gothenburg, Santorini, Paris, St. Anton, New York, and Las Vegas.
In each destination, players can build hotels while completing main objectives and bonus objectives. Rewards will unlock as these targets are completed.
