The core hotel loop
Summary
Every successful run comes down to repeating the same loop: attract guests, give them somewhere to stay, and let staff handle the day-to-day. Upgrading the hotel raises the number of guests who visit and pushes your income higher.
- Invite guests the guests staying in your hotel are the source of your income.
- Build rooms more rooms means more guests can stay at once.
- Hire staff staff automate guest service so the hotel runs without you micromanaging.
- Upgrade the hotel upgrades attract more guests and improve the quality of your facilities.
Why staff matter so much
Tips
Each staff member you place handles work automatically, and having more of them means more tasks get done at the same time. Staff keep working even after you close the game, which is what makes offline income possible.
- Staff handle guest service automatically once they are assigned.
- More staff means more jobs running at the same time, which speeds up your earnings.
- Hiring staff costs money.
- The more staff you have placed, the faster the hotel earns while you are offline.
Offline earnings and why they change the game
Check
Once your hotel is up and running with staff in place, it keeps earning even after you log off. When you come back, that accumulated cash is ready to spend on more rooms, more staff, or upgrades.
- Staff are hired and placed before you log off.
- When you return, you collect the cash that built up and put it straight back into expansion.
- You grow your staff count over time so that offline earnings increase with each session.
Growing your hotel
Tips
Growth comes from the number of rooms you have, the staff covering those rooms, and the upgrades that raise the overall quality of your hotel.
- Use decoration to improve how your hotel looks.
- Upgrade your facilities to raise the quality of guest rooms and bring in more visitors.
Playing with friends

- Max players six people can run the same hotel together.
