What Can You Do At the Hotel?
|
|
Decorate Themed Hotel Rooms
The hotel's main feature is that you get to design hotel rooms that visitors can stay at. Each room will have a theme which you get to choose, and you will have to decorate it accordingly using the provided furniture. Once you finish decorating a room, you will earn Hotel Tickets, which you can exchange for items at the hotel's Souvenir Shop.
You Can Decorate Only 2 Rooms per Day
After unlocking the hotel, you can decorate up to 2 hotel rooms per day until you unlock all hotel rooms. There are a total of eight hotel rooms, and one VIP room that you can decorate.
Once you have all rooms unlocked, you are free to redecorate any room with no limits. However, you will only be paid for the first room you redecorate per day.
Invite Guests to the VIP Room to Get Extra Hotel Tickets
Once you have unlocked all hotel rooms, you will be given a VIP room that you are free to decorate in any way you want. If you invite someone on your island to stay in the VIP room, you will be rewarded an extra 50 Hotel Tickets.
Exchange Tickets at the Souvenir Shop
To the right of the hotel reception is Gram's Souvenir Shop where you can exchange Hotel Tickets for items. You can get a variety of goods from Gram's Souvenir Shop such as tools, clothes, and furniture.
If you purchase the items on display, they are cheaper than their original price in the item catalogue.
Dress Hotel Guests Using Mannequins
By changing the outfits of the mannequins displayed in the lobby, you can get your hotel guests to wear your outfits. However, you will need to finish decorating a room first before this feature unlocks the next day. You will not be able to change your mannequin's outfit on your first hotel day.
Ship Out Special Island Goods
To extend your island's reputation, Tom Nook has set up a shipping box in front of the hotel where you can fulfill DIY requests in exchange for Hotel Tickets. We recommend setting up a workbench near the box to make the delivery easier.
Invite Hotel Guests Using amiibo
Guests can be invited through amiibo to stay at your hotel using the scanner on the reception desk. However, since amiibo guests are considered VIP, it is required that you already have the VIP Room unlocked before inviting them.
How to Invite Guests Using amiibo
All Villagers Can Be Invited
All villagers can be invited as VIP guests. Simply scan their amiibo, and they'll happily accept the invitation to stay at your hotel.
Resident Villagers and Campsite Visitors Can't Be Invited
Resident villagers can't be invited to stay at the hotel, even as VIPs. This also applies to current campsite visitors. If you want to give your villagers the VIP treatment, you can do so in Happy Home Paradise instead.

Special Characters Can Be Invited
Special characters can also be invited, including those who live on different islands such as Niko and the Paradise Planning team, as well as Harv. Characters without specific roles, like Shrunk, will also accept the invitation as VIP guests.
Special Characters With Roles Will Continue Working
Do note that some characters will continue working even after being invited as guests. For example, Harv won't be available at the hotel if you access his services on his island.

Not All Characters Will Accept the Invite
Active special characters on your island, such as Leilani herself or Orville, will also refuse the invitation. As mentioned earlier, if you still think they deserve some kind of vacation, you can at least do that in Happy Home Paradise!

Hotel Gameplay Progression
Unlock All Hotel Rooms
| Hotel Progression | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Get your island to a 3-star rating and watch the K.K Slider Concert that comes afterwards. |
| 2 |  After you update to Version 3.0, Isabelle will announce that the Hotel has been built. Head to the Hotel, which is located at your island's pier. |
| 3 |  After watching Tom Nook's conversation with the Hotel staff, speak to Leilani at the reception desk. |
| 4 | Decorate the first room, which has the Seaside Room theme. Items that fit the theme can be found in the Recommended tab of your furniture list, but you are free to use items that aren't part of this tab. All furniture items that you've ever owned should also be available in the furniture menu when you decorate a room. Once you're done decorating, talk to Leilani and tell her that you're All done. You can also talk to Leilani if you want to stop decorating and return to the lobby without saving your work. |
| 5 |  Once you finish the first room, you will receive 200 tickets. You will also unlock the souvenir shop, where you can exchange tickets to buy items. |
| 6 | After you leave the Hotel, Tom Nook will speak to you and unlock DIY requests. This allows you to ship out requested items in order to earn tickets. |
| 7 |  Decorate the second, third, fourth, and fifth rooms. Keep in mind that you can only decorate 2 rooms per day, so you will have to wait or time travel once you have hit that limit. After decorating the fifth room, the souvenir shop will start selling furniture in their catalog. |
| 8 |  Decorate the sixth, seventh, eighth and VIP rooms. Keep in mind that the VIP room is only made available the day after you finish all rooms. |
| 9 |  After you have finished decorating all the rooms, you will be able to redecorate any room with no daily limits. Additionally, you will be able to invite characters to the VIP room using amiibo. The souvenir shop will also add more furniture to its catalog. |
| 10 |  Keep on decorating rooms and completing DIY requests to unlock Grams' Special Souvenir Catalog at the hotel. This catalog includes retro Nintendo consoles. Based on our testing, you can unlock this by earning 5,000 Hotel Tickets, and sending 20 DIY requests. |
How to Unlock the Hotel
Unlocks After the K.K Slider Concert
You will unlock the hotel once you get a 3-star rating on your island. You will have to watch the K.K Slider concert and the credits that follow.
The day after, the Hotel will be under construction. Kapp'n and his family will be waiting for you inside the Hotel once it is built.

Where to Find the Hotel
At the Extended Pier
Once the Hotel begins construction, the pier in your island will automatically be extended. The building can be found at that area.
