Hotel (1974)

ByMichail

Hotel

“Hotel” is a dimensional real estate game created by Milton Bradley in 1986. The game was initially released by Denys Fisher in 1974, who was the inventor of the Spirograph toy and founder of Denys Fisher Toys. The game shares many gameplay concepts with Monopoly, including buying property with a deed, improving the property, and collecting a fee for landing on that property. Hotel was re-released by Asmodee in 2014 as Hotel Tycoon (or Hotel Deluxe in some countries), but it is now out of print again.

Why is Hotel Popular?

Hotel is a popular game because it combines the concepts of real estate investment and hotel management in a fun and engaging way. Players can build resort hotels, attempt to drive their competitors into bankruptcy, and enjoy the visual aspect of watching their hotels grow and expand. The game has been re-released several times, indicating its enduring popularity.
