Hotel Guide: Everything You Can Do in the Hotel
Polishing
Polishing is a new feature that you can only unlock through Happy Home Paradise. This allows you to add sparkles to furniture, as well as other effects, to make them feel more alive.
You can unlock polishing early by designing four vacation homes, with more effects becoming available after designing 12.

Room Resizing
Room Resizing is another design feature that lets you increase the size of homes. This gives you more space for decorations, especially if you plan to display more objects and furniture. You can unlock this after receiving the Pro Decorating License from Lottie for free, which happens when you unlock the School.
Cannot Be Used in Personal Home and Photopia
While Room Resizing can be used in the Hotel and villager homes, you can't use it in your own house or in Photopia, as these buildings have a fixed layout.

Partition Walls, Pillars, and Counters
Partition Walls, Pillars, and Counters are DIY items that you can unlock through Happy Home Paradise. You'll unlock them as you progress by designing vacation homes at different milestones, with Partition Walls becoming available after 8 vacation homes, and Pillars and Counters unlocking after 24 vacation homes.
While these appear as items, you can't give them to other players who don't have the DLC. These features are exclusive to Happy Home Paradise, so if someone wants to unlock them, make sure they have access to the DLC first.
Lighting Customization
Lighting is another feature you can use to fully set the vibe of your designs. You can unlock it after designing either your first café or restaurant, whichever you choose to open first. This becomes available after designing 12 vacation homes.

Soundscapes
Soundscapes is another feature you can use to set the vibe and adjust the overall ambiance of your designs. You can initially unlock it after designing 17 vacation homes, with more options becoming available after 25 homes.
Home-Design Consulting
Another feature you can unlock after decorating 30 vacation homes is Home-Design Consulting. This feature allows you to redesign any of your villagers' houses, including the exterior. You can access it as soon as you return home and talk to Tom Nook.
Home-Design Consulting can only be requested once per day for 9,000 Bells. You'll also earn 1,000 Nook Miles for your efforts.
Exclusive Facilities
Happy Home Paradise is also home to several exclusive facilities that you get to design. These facilities offer their own services, from obtaining recipes at restaurants to accessing more clothing options at apparel shops.
They are unlocked throughout your vacation home designs, starting with the School after designing 5 homes and ending with the Apparel Shop, the last facility to design before the festival.
