This is a beautiful addition to any Lego city. As a corner building this is a must as well. I happen to have both the police station as well as the bookshop which the box for this set shows as being in either side of it. I am still experimenting where exactly I want to put it. The Easter eggs to other modular sets makes this worth while for long time modular enthusiasts. Highly recommended.
I love to travel and this reminds me of that. Super cute from lobby to highest room and the art boutique and outside bar area - it's just that cool. I probably need earlier set to join it to - until then I'm fine travel dreaming with my boutique hotel.
This was a relatively easy build. It has nice details both inside and out. It is another corner building, so you will probably need to rearrange your city setup. But completely worth it!
I have not started the build yet. I am a tax professional so it will have to be completed in the summer. I have several modular buildings and I love building and displaying them. I can't wait to add this build to my collection.
When I started working on building this set, I was struck by the tropical feel of the hotel, and it occurred to me that Jimmy Buffett should be on the deck playing guitar. Not only did I do that, but I also bought the LEGO Parrot and replaced the building dome with the Parrot, a true Jimmy Buffett symbol. Now I have a shrine of sorts to Jimmy.
I really like how these Creator Expert Modular Building sets have evolved over the years in complexity and ingenious building elements. Thank you!
