About This File

I thought I'd release something special for my 50th lot. Earlier this year I spent an afternoon wandering around South Beach, Miami taking photo's of the Art Deco buildings. I thought this style of building would be an asset to the game, adding a bit of character, so I built a hotel based on some of the style features found there (and other places).

This package contains four hotels; the Excelsior (yellow), Pacifica (blue), Vermonte (green) and Flamingo (pink). Each hotel is basically the same, but with different colours, textures and lighting. There are four plopable lots; one for each hotel. There are also two growable lots; one 3x2 (Stage 8 CS$$) and one 3x3 (Stage 6 CS$$). The growables use a building family so the hotels will grow randomly.

Like the real buildings, they are sortof interesting to look at during the day, with a bit of Art Deco styling and colours. But also like the real buildings, they come to life at night with the neon and flood lighting. If you've seen "The Bird Cage" you will know what I mean. So if you don't use night mode in the game, you might want to for these.

These lots are BSC BTE enabled. This means they will contribute to reward chains. Having enough of these in your city may entitle you to specific rewards.

These hotels are perfect for placing along the main beachside boulevard in a coastal city.

The fantastic bold lighting effects give these BATs some real balls - I love the overall style and also the detail on the restaurant area. Great stuff

*puts on kevlar vest* I actually don't like these very much. I'm sorry to tell you this, but these are not art deco. What you have here is a box with art deco style detailing on the enterence, but art deco is more about the form of the building than it's detail.
