This is an amazing set with fantastic building techniques, well designed furniture, clever use of unique pieces, and beautiful vibrant colors. It was a great choice for my first modular building!
When my wife got this set I really wasn't sure about a modular building. I had heard of them and seen them around, but wow the detail in this set is amazing. The different uses of each brick is very creative. We had so much fun building this and will definitely be on the lookout for more. If you have an opportunity to get this set, do it, it is well worth your time.
I've been a fan of the modular buildings since they first appeared, and the Boutique Hotel is an excellent addition to the streetscape. In addition to just being an extremely beautiful set (I particularly love the mansard roof and cupola elements), the angled nature of the buildings was so cleverly designed, and so elegant at the same time. It's one of the most technically marvelous builds I've experienced, nearly up there with the Rivendell set!
I bought this kit for myself after helping my daughter with all her Christmas LEGO sets and getting jealous, lol. Took 3 afternoons to complete. Has great detail and loved the variance in architecture with each floor that kept it interesting all the way through. Fun details like the art gallery, specialty furniture, balconies, pillar architecture were so great. Was a very good build.
