Simulation video games have become a staple for players who crave immersive, transformative experiences. From detailed explorations of the world in Microsoft Flight Simulator to the satisfying routine of PowerWash Simulator, these titles invite players to multiply the impact of simple actions into grand, programmable outcomes. Among the many entries in this genre, renovating a hotel may not seem flashy at first glance, yet it offers a unique blend of design challenge and narrative drive. That’s the premise Two Horizons explores with their upcoming renovation sim, a game that reimagines the hotel remodel as an artful, strategic journey.
The current focus centers on a heritage hotel in ruins
Published under Focus Entertainment, Hotel Renovator tasks players with reimagining an abandoned building and turning it into a five-star destination. The developers promise a robust toolkit of more than 2,000 options and items, spanning lighting, furniture, curtains, artwork, rugs, and fixtures, all aimed at creating extraordinary spaces that elevate the property from forgotten to unforgettable.
In this installment, the player inherits a dilapidated hotel and sets out to restore its former elegance while imprinting a personal touch on every corner. The initial decay reveals both challenge and opportunity: walls must be removed, creaking floors replaced, and a modern layout forged from the remnants of the past. The journey is as much about reclaiming history as it is about crafting a contemporary luxury experience.
A place with history
Across story mode and its setting, the hotel’s family secret surfaces as the player meets demanding guests and strives to meet evolving expectations. Those who relish interior design will find plenty of motivation in the escalating hurdles and higher stakes. With each level, revenue potential grows, driving investments in amenities such as pools and restaurants to attract a broader clientele and differentiate the property from competitors. The game rewards bold decisions and meticulous planning, making the act of renovation feel purposeful rather than purely cosmetic.
“Unleash your creativity and design the hotel of your dreams. Embark on a journey that transforms a dilapidated structure into a thriving resort. Manage new services, tailor rooms, and curate decorations with a catalog of over two thousand options,” the synopsis notes. The PC version is slated for release on March 7, with console versions for PlayStation and Xbox announced, though a firm date for those platforms has not yet been confirmed.
This title invites players to balance aesthetics, functionality, and business strategy, crafting spaces that tell a story while delivering measurable results. The process of renovation becomes a narrative thread as guests and staff interact with the evolving environment, and the player shapes not just a building but a destination with its own identity and charm. Fans of design sims and management challenges will likely find Hotel Renovator offers a satisfying synthesis of decoration, spatial planning, and storytelling, all anchored by a sense of history and potential for growth.
