The Grand Rose Hotel

A game of Elegance, Strategy and Prestige. It's 1952, and across the city, luxury hotels compete for the most distinguished guests. As the ambitious owner of The Grand Rose Hotel, you must staff your floors, attract prestigious guests, invest in elegant upgrades and manage your finances carefully. The player who accumulates the most Prestige Points at the end of the game winds.

Each round, players welcome new arrivals and hire staff to look after them in style. "Housekeeping", keeping every suite immaculate, "Room Service", delivering trays of delectable delights, "Concierge", smoothing every request and delivering bags with style and a smile. Each 'Need' your staff deliver on, provides valuable tips you collect at the end of each round, to reinvest in the next act. Behind the glamour is a sharp, satisfying tension. Do you keep every room humming with paying guests, building a steady stream of income? Do you angle for the guests whose very presence maximize your prestige points, or do you upgrade your hotel and convert a room into something the whole city will talk about, and provide new benefits to the hotel, and your game? a rooftop terrace, a loyalty program, or simply fresh flowers. Trading away a paying guest for a permanent piece of legend? Every upgrade is a room you can no longer rent, and that trade off never fully resolves. It evolves as you open more floors and invite more prestigious guest. The early rounds reward hustle to hire works and fill rooms. The later rounds reward knowing exactly when to cash in your chips and reach for the penthouse elevator.

Too add to the strategy, there is an ever so satisfying payoff in the collecting the 'right' guest. Quietly courting the exact cast of characters your end game bonus ledger calls for. A string of guests in dark glasses. A parade of honeymooners fresh off the train. A gentleman or two with a moustache sharp enough to cut glass. Assembling your perfect guest list, all while your rivals across the lobby try to guess your angle, is a game of its own.

When the last guest of the season makes their exit, the hotelier holding the most Prestige, earned via guest checkouts, savvy upgrades, and the set of guests collected throughout the game, is crowned the toast of the town. It's a game of patient glamour and perfectly timed ambition, where every floor you build, every slot you fill and every decision you make is meaningful.
