Have you ever wanted to design and manage your own hotel, motel, resort, or tent? With a ridiculous amount of customisation tools to wield, a host of facilities to build, and a wide variety of guests to impress, Hotel Magnate has it all. Let your inner hotel manager shine!
Windows
Hotel Magnate is a tycoon/simulator game that gives you the tools to build and manage your own hotel, motel, luxury resort, or shabby shack. It is whatever you make of it.
Beginning with nothing but dreams and an empty lot, you can shape your hotel to your liking. Pick from an assortment of rooms and facilities that will grow both your floorspace and your revenue stream. Build restaurants for the foodies, day spas for the vacationers, and conference halls for the workaholics. There’s a wide range of rooms to choose from.
Once you’ve laid down the foundations, it’s time to pick out the decor. That’s right, you get to customise everything down to the furniture and decorations. Make it wacky, make it classy, or change up the theme from room to room. You will attract different types of guests as your hotel grows and its rating changes, bringing new opportunities and challenges. Remember, the customer is usually wrong, but you’re in the service industry now. Get your hotel in shape, slap on your best smile, and be prepared for whatever comes.
CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES:
In Hotel Magnate, your decisions have consequences. Something as simple as selecting which supplier to purchase towels from, or the price of drinks, can have a significant impact on your business. More luxurious fittings will bring you wealthier guests that are harder to please, whilst lowering the price of alcohol may attract trouble.
Here’s a scenario:
You have decided to lower the price of alcoholic beverages, which has resulted in an increase in sales and guest turnover. However, you didn’t foresee your hotel becoming known as a cheap dive or sleazy resort, attracting a younger crowd that has a penchant for partying and property damage. Make your business decisions wisely!

We have been busy since our last update with our most game-changing update yet! We are introducing a new Utilities System (where you need to supply your hotel with water and electricity), new furniture, a Mac version, and a progression system that will change how you experience and progress through the game. There will also be a Creative Mode for people who just want to build to their heart’s content.
We received plenty of feedback since the Early Access launch and, after extensive analysis, we have implemented a new Progression System. It works similarly to other research systems in games of the same genre. We wanted to help slow the game down in a meaningful way while giving the player more self-imposed goals and rewards.
Instead of just unlocking a giant group of furniture at each star level, the player will earn “Hotel Points” by having guests stay overnight and leaving positive reviews. These points can then be spent on unlocking new furniture items, facilities, or management tools. There are over 140 individual nodes to unlock which are divided into ‘tiers.’ You cannot unlock something from the next tier unless you have unlocked at least one node from your current tier.
We anticipate that this newfound Progression System will not only increase replayability, but will vastly improve the overall gameplay experience.
For players that just want to build creatively, we have also added the highly anticipated Creative Build mode where everything is unlocked and the money is unlimited! Creative Mode can be unlocked by completing the normal game mode and reaching star level five.
To bring more challenges to both the management and design side of Hotel Magnate, we have added the Utilities System! This means that you will need to supply all of your electrical and water requiring objects with the correct utility. You will first need to place a Generator and a Water Pump, followed by water/electrical distributors, to distribute these utilities to objects.
Each type and quality of distributor has its own capacity value. Once its capacity is maxed out, it will not be able to supply anything else in its range. A distributor has a circular range around it that is divided into two. The outer section of its range has a higher ‘connection’ cost; this essentially means that objects further away from the distributor cost more to connect. Therefore, it is beneficial to keep distributors close to the objects that need them.
You don’t want to keep them too close, however, as guests will get annoyed if they find pumps or switchboards in their rooms or hallways. You must also ensure that these objects are maintained correctly or this could lead to some disastrous results, including upsetting your guests.
Mac Build
It has been a long time coming, but it's finally here! Hotel Magnate is now available on Mac! There were a few unforeseen challenges for us - such as getting the game notarized and approved by Apple - but we are very glad to say it is finally done! In the process of getting the game to Mac, we have also set up new methods for gathering information on game crashes and critical errors which should help us identify some of the rarer problems and issues that are harder to reproduce.
As the new Mac version is very new, there may be a few undetected bugs. We ask that, if you discover any bugs, issues, or have feedback, please use our in-game reporting system or talk to us on our Discord server so we can work to address it.
To accompany our new Progression and Utilities Systems, we have plenty of new art assets. We are very happy to once again be making new art assets/furniture for everyone to enjoy! As we have been working on our Art Style Guide and pipeline the last few months, the process should be a lot faster and we will hopefully see more assets coming out in the future.
The first lot of new assets are the Utility-oriented ones which include generators, pumps, distributors, and hot water boilers.
The second lot of furniture contains new shabby furniture to offer greater choice and variety earlier on in the game.
Following requests from players, we have added French and Portuguese translations to the game! These new language options and our existing ones (German & Chinese) are partially generated using a text translator, so there may be sections where the translation isn't 100% correct. If you encounter any issue like this, please report it either through our in-game reporting system or on our Discord.
Due to the significance of this update, all previous savegames will no longer work.
