The Taj Mahal Palace
on January 9, 2022
Posted by: Sudhir
This is a most amazing and appealing Lego set that I came across to see by chance while surfing Lego website for new ideas for my son to build something new. At the very first look of the "teaser" that I saw on Lego website for this product as "coming soon", I knew in my mind that I am going to buy this one for myself even though I knew that it would be my 5 year old son who would be building this eventually. It had a little resemblance to the The Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai, India. The dome on the top surrounded by the decorative railing'sss' added the grand look to the overall set. My son built the complete set with a little assistance on the second floor where it was a bit challenging for him to add the small white pillars besides each windows. The teeny tiny TV, the cupboard, the beds, bathroom and the windows on the third floor- learnt new ways of making such cool builds to add to any other sets to play with. We recently bought BookShop before this one but this one is the second modular set in our Lego collection. Definitely a set I would like to keep it as a collectible.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfection!
on January 10, 2022
Posted by: LEGOBuilder007007
Thoroughly enjoyable build start to finish. Never repetitive or predictable, it’s become one of my top three Modular Buildings. The designer(s) did an excellent job creating a unique building shape and layout. Some past builds used tedious build techniques to achieve a particular style. This set achieved a beautiful facade without any overly complicated or annoying building techniques. I also really appreciate the color scheme chosen for this set. The flesh tone was particularly interesting. 10 out of 10!

Unique design and techniques
on January 3, 2022
Posted by: SeniorFitGarlic
Overall, I am very impressed with the hotel. The positives outweigh the negatives, although I will include a bit of both, but more good than bad. The colors work really well together. The flesh color is introduced in a substantial quantity, and it blends well with the popular nougat and sand green. The overall shape is a new design and the geometry used is fascinating. There are many curves and angles that are not 90 degrees on this one. Also, there is only one "blank" side since the fancy windows exist on three sides of the baseplate. The art gallery is fairly small, but it has some interesting details. Above this sits an outdoor deck with a small bar area. The build reminds me of the Art Nouveau style and several parts are used to create gates and other details typical to this style. As you follow the instructions, there are many throwbacks to the other modulars, and it is entertaining to read the explanations. As expected, there are many minibuilds that are quite pleasing, and several details you would hope to find in a small hotel such as the baggage cart, the beds, and room furniture.
There were only a few negatives. Minor nitpicks include no elevator, kind of defeating the purpose of the baggage cart. The cabinet doors in the guest rooms are very loose as well and do not necessarily stay shut. It is also evident that the height of each of the floors decreases from bottom to top. I am likely going to try to modify the top floor by increasing it by a brick height to get it more even with the middle floor. The height is not a dealbreaker by any means, but it is something that can be adjusted by gaining some extra parts. Certainly, I am glad to add this to my "city" and it is definitely in my top three for this series overall.

This is a beautiful tribute to hotels of the past as well as some the future. Your building series has been a life saver for me during the COVID pandemic. Thank you and keep the beautiful buildings coming!

Perfect Addition to the Neighborhood
on January 19, 2022

Love this set. It is beautifully designed and blends well with both the European inspired and the retro Americana buildings. Love the art gallery and the outdoor lounge and was surprised to see that there are actually three hotel rooms in this narrow building (in addition to the public spaces).

Stunning & amazing detail
on January 24, 2022
Posted by: Cimmie
I loved putting this together. It was super fun and I love how Lego never fails to pay attention to details, even the smallest ones. This probably is one of my favorite builds so far and everyone who's seen it so far is absolutely floored. My one and only complaint is that in the instruction booklet, when using a dark brown color brick, it's hard to see it. You have to get the booklet in the right angle to see which piece to use. Other than that, I really liked all the back stories and history of previous modular buildings.

Loved every step in the build process with the exception of SNAKE HEADS! I left them out because of my phobia of snakes.

Amazing build

I love this set! As a modular collector, this is definitely one of the more impressive builds I’ve done. The sheer geometry involved and clever part usage to achieve the building angles was amazing!
