Location Deep Dive: St Anton!

Set in the Austrian Alps, the St. Anton map location offers a unique challenge, stepping away from our previous urban and coastal settings in Gothenburg and Santorini. Here, you must design and manage a hotel that caters to winter sports enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike!
So what is different in St Anton?

[h2]Ski Rentals [/h2]
In St. Anton, providing ski equipment is essential. Guests expect convenient access to rentals, after all, that’s what they’re here for! Make sure they can rent their skiing equipment so they can head out on the slopes behind your hotel.



[h2]Mastering Temperature Management[/h2]
The alpine environment introduces new challenges in maintaining the perfect indoor temperatures. You need to make sure the place is warm enough but not too hot, so radiators are key! Neglecting this aspect can lead to decreased guest satisfaction, negative reviews and even a very ice-y death!



[h2]Introducing Saunas: A New Zone![/h2]
St. Anton is the first map where you can unlock and build saunas. These facilities not only boost the hotel's rating but also cater to guests seeking relaxation after a day on the slopes. The question is, will you go down the route of having the full works with a spa or just a small sauna as a practical zone?



[h2]Hot Tips for Success in St. Anton[/h2]
  • Invest in Heating: Just like in Santorini with aircon, radiators in St Anton are important!
  • Use everything you’ve learnt before: You can choose to cater to a particular guest type or all of them but remember to use everything you’ve learnt in other levels!
  • Try out the new zone: The sauna is an all important zone in this one, see your guests relax and enjoy a break after a long day of skiing!
  • Don't forget to check out the reward items you can earn on this map - you might find some cool goodies!

We hope you've all started to really get to grips with how your hotels run and we'd love to see some epic hotel builds if you want to share in the screenshots area on steam! We might even run a competition for best build at some point in the near future, so get practising 👀

Also, in case you missed it, hotfix No. 2 is now live so if you've been having some issues with lazy cleaners and low gym ratings, they should be fixed!

Hope you all have a great weekend and happy building!
