Update #17: Career Adventures & Fresh Frontiers!
Hey there, Fellow Magnates! We’re thrilled to roll out our latest update, packed with fresh ways to dive into the hotel biz. Whether you’re itching for a guided journey through our new Career Mode, eager to explore brand-new locales on the world map, or just hunting for those handy quality-of-life tweaks, we’ve got you covered. Read on to discover how we’re leveling up your hotel empire!
Career Mode
After a hefty bit of elbow grease, we’ve at last unlocked Career Mode, a delightful story-driven path that gently leads you through your rise to hospitality stardom. Think of it as your personal VIP tour: you’ll receive clear objectives, friendly hand-holding, and pre-built hotels so you can spend less time laying foundations and more time crafting jaw-dropping interiors. For those new to the tycoon scene, Career Mode will be your go-to launchpad, offering a fuller “game” experience without the blank-canvas jitters. Best of all, this mode begged for exciting new locations and that snazzy world map you’ve all been craving, which we’ll unpack in the next section!
New Locations
Because our Career Mode story unfolds across a variety of settings, we’ve added a slew of fresh locations to explore. Some spots even boast multiple lots, perfect for tinkering with different hotel styles or tackling unique challenges. To help you navigate, we’ve introduced a world map view that’s your hub for both Career and Sandbox modes. In Sandbox, you’ll have the freedom to drop into any lot: either renovate one of our crisp, pre-built properties or start from scratch and let your inner decorator run wild. It’s never been easier to hop from beach-side boutique to mountain lodge (or vice versa) in a flash!
Other Changes
With all these big additions, older saves may not play nice, sorry Magnates, it’s time for a fresh start! But fear not: we’ve also sprinkled in tons of small bug fixes and UI/UX improvements to make your management tasks smoother than ever including the ability for bins to prevent trash from being put on the ground. From clearer tooltips to more stable performance, these refinements will keep your focus on what matters most, building the hotel empire of your dreams.
That’s a wrap on this update, Magnates! We can’t wait to see your Career Mode triumphs, world-map wanderings, and sandboxes transformed into five-star masterpieces. As always, happy building and may your occupancy rates soar!

Update #16: Fire Alert!
Hey Fellow Magnates! We've got a scorching hot update that’s about to turn up the heat in your hotels! From fiery surprises to streamlined staff routines and big plans on the horizon, there’s plenty to dive into. You’ll be facing new challenges, new management tools, and a hint of things to come. Let's check it out!
Fire!
Your hotels are now at risk of something big and bold—fires! Rooms, furniture, and even entire floors can go up in flames if equipment isn’t properly maintained, creating a brand-new challenge for you to tackle. A single spark from neglected electrical equipment or poorly maintained furniture can ignite, spreading rapidly through the hotel. And be warned—guests and staff can find themselves in real danger if a fire gets out of control! Luckily, you’ll have some tools to keep the blaze at bay. The fire-fighting hose tool lets you tackle specific flames, while fire sprinklers can be installed to slow down the spread of fires throughout your hotel. Now’s the time to test your fire safety strategy and make sure your hotel is both exciting and safe for everyone!
Small Changes
Alongside the big additions, we’ve made a few smaller but impactful changes to keep your hotel running smoothly. First up, the mountain map has gotten a fresh visual update, bringing it more in line with the game’s style. Your cleaning staff are now quicker at inspecting rooms, although if they’re worn out, they might take a bit longer to finish. Receptions and other objects are also more resistant to dirt, giving your cleaners a bit of a breather. And for those of you looking for a more intuitive experience, we’ve fine-tuned the UI with clearer icons and tooltips—especially on the ‘send to task’ button—making those management choices easier than ever.
What Else Are We Working On?
Our team is already hard at work on even more exciting features to deepen your management journey. Career Mode is in development, complete with a world map for location selection, giving you even more options when setting up your hotel empire. We’re also bringing back in-hotel objectives and goals that complement Career Mode objectives, adding both purpose and progression to Creative Mode. These goals will help guide you through your hotel’s expansion while introducing new systems and features. And, of course, the tutorial is getting a full revamp, integrated seamlessly into Career Mode to help new Magnates find their footing.
Here is an early look at the new career mode map screen (work in progress). Creative mode map/location selection will also happen through this map.
Here is a teaser image of one of the new locations that we have been working on. We will be showing more very soon!
There you have it, Magnates! We’re beyond excited for you to experience these updates and can’t wait to see how you handle the heat, the hustle, and the journey to hotel greatness.

Checking In: Report #47
It’s time for another sizzling update on the world of Hotel Magnate! We’ve been cooking up something fiery that we can’t wait to share with you. In this update, we'll dive into a scorching new system that will have you sweating! We’ve also got some news about upcoming public testing for the Fire Update that you won’t want to miss. Let’s get into the details!
Fire System
It’s been a hot minute since our last check-in, but we’ve been hard at work on an exciting new feature that’s about to turn up the temperature in your hotel. We’re introducing a Fire System that adds a new layer of challenge to your management experience. Neglect your hotel’s equipment, and you might just find yourself with an unplanned bonfire in the lobby. Fires can spread quickly, and if you don’t have the proper safety measures in place, things could get out of hand fast. If a guest or staff member gets trapped, they won’t make it out alive. But fear not, with a well-maintained network of fire sprinklers and a trusty Fire Hose, you can battle those flames and save the day. This system isn’t just for show—it’s a consequence of poor management, especially when it comes to maintenance. So keep your hotel in tip-top shape, or you might just get burned!
Fire Sprinklers are your first line of defense, slowing the spread of flames and buying you precious time to get the situation under control. You'll need to strategically place these lifesavers throughout your hotel to keep those fires in check. For a more hands-on approach, grab the new Fire Hose tool, which lets you douse flames directly and stop the blaze in its tracks. But be warned—any furniture caught in the fire will be scorched and will need replacing through the object toolbar, which will come at a cost. And once the flames are out, your cleaners will have their work cut out for them, dealing with the smoky aftermath and restoring your hotel to its former glory.
Testing
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll soon be rolling out public testing for the Fire System! This is your opportunity to get your hands on this blazing new feature and help us fine-tune it before it’s officially released. We’re counting on you, our community, to provide valuable feedback and help us make this feature as hot as it can be. Keep an eye on our Discord and stay tuned for another update post like this one—we’ll let you know as soon as testing begins. So gear up, and get ready to play with fire!
Thanks for sticking with us, Magnates! We can’t wait to see how you handle the heat. Stay safe, keep building, and as always, happy managing!
