Services in Hotel Architect – Construction, Garbage, and Supply!
Hello Hoteliers!
This week, we're taking a closer look at the Service Systems in Hotel Architect - your last how-to overview before Early Access launches next week!
In our previous post, we covered the various staff roles working within your hotel. But not everything can be handled in-house. Certain tasks require assistance from external services, which are essential for keeping your hotel clean, stocked, and structurally sound.
There are three types of services in Hotel Architect. Some operate automatically, while others need to be called in by you at the right time. Let’s take a look:
[h2]Construction Workers: Building the Foundation [/h2]
You’ll likely become very familiar with this service (or might already be if you joined the playtests!)
Construction Workers are responsible for everything related to building and modifying your hotel. Their tasks include:
Placing structures like foundations, inner walls, and material sites
Installing structure items such as doors, windows, stairs, and elevators
Applying custom surface finishes - from wallpaper and paint to wood, tile, and stone
Placing furnishings and fixtures throughout hotel zones
Performing demolition, whether you’re removing a single object or redesigning entire areas
Construction workers need to be called in when you place objects or structures through the build menu. The same applies when changes are needed, simply call them in! This process is covered in detail during the campaign tutorial in Gothenburg, so you can learn as you go!
[h2]Garbage Service: Keeping Things Clean Behind the Scenes [/h2]
While less noticable than construction, the Garbage Service is critical to hotel cleanliness!
Each in-game day, garbage collectors arrive to empty the dumpsters located around your hotel. However, it’s your hotel cleaners who move trash bags from bins and cans into those dumpsters.
If your cleaning team is busy handling beds, dirty floors or other tasks, garbage might not be dealt with promptly. Make sure to balance your staffing to keep things running smoothly!
[h2]Supply Service: Essential for Restocking [/h2]
The Supply Service ensures that your maintenance staff can keep machines and amenities stocked and operational.
Supplies are delivered to your hotel and then the maintenance staff will take them to the supply stand in the maintenance workshop. From there, staff can restock vending machines, kitchen fridges, and more. The system runs periodically, but if you’re running low on inventory, it’s worth checking:
Only 4 days left until Hotel Architect launches in Early Access on Steam! Don’t forget to wishlist, and thank you for your continued support - we can’t wait for you to start building next week.

- Whether your supply stand is fully stocked
- If your staff can reach and distribute items efficiently
- And whether you might benefit from adding an extra fridge or supply stand in high-traffic areas
