(Archive) Advertising District / Mystic Sands Hotel & Resort

Yes, I have jumped on the hotel bandwagon. Last weekend, I opened the PT bench and started this hotel. Its a really massive hotel, that ties in a desert / arabian / oasis theme. It has 200+ rooms and will also have several swimming pools and other luxorious resort features....anyway, here is a preview....this screen doesnt even show the entire front of it.....I know it looks busy, but again thats my style...and I know it has a lot of gold, so no one has to remind about that.....Im in the process of making this a RCTx group project....but, I may show more of it based on the responses I get here....so here ya go!

The first thing that came to mind was.... WOW!

The second thing that came to mind was.... Did Jkay really do this?

The third thing that came to mind was.... an overuse of the shrubbery and greens.. I think if you cut donw on that a little, and try adding another colour it could look better. But dont get me wrong, apart from the amount of plants n such it really is amazing!

Very nice, that looks like it must have taken a long time to do because it looks quite complicated. Not sure about the shrubs and flowers but still a very nice building.

Richie - yes I made this.....who did you think made it??

Mortician - yes, it took a long time, about 22 hours so far for the entire hotel portion, but again this only shows about 25% and none of the resort area.

Based on the responses, I will be making some changes. I will remove some of the foliage to hopefully reduce the "crowded" effect. I will then show the changes.....thanks for the responses so far....

color, design and execution of this screen is perfect, i love it! The waterfalls are an excellent touch, great work, keep it up!

Very nice! The colors are good, the design is definetly original, and overall I really like it. This sorta reminds me of Tyandor's work just not as many colors.

Great job JKay!

The upper portion is fantastic and you can clearly make out the layout of the hotel. The foliage like other have siad may be just a bit over the top but it's not bad so please don't change to much. The only area I'm having a hard time with is the lower portion. It could be the angle of the SS but I'm having a difficult time making out the lower footprint and lower layout of the hotel. I think once we see it in game it will look much better. Anyway, great job.

I LOVE the overgrown feeling.

To me, the foliage adds something that would otherwise be lacking. I wish you would keep it all.

It does remind me a little of tyrandor's park, but that's just the white with all those colours, which works incredibly well here.

Well done.

When NE was down, I was browsing through the screenshots at Asperix's hosting and I saw this and wondered who the hell did it. After looking over it a while, I started to realize that it was probably you - so I guess that's a good sign.. you have a style now.

Anyways.. I really really like that hotel. It reminds me of that restaurant with the plants on the roof. It also looks like you have a glass elevator nesteled back in there. My only suggestion is to reduce the number of colors you have on your flowers.

Amazing work, though.

Based on the responses, I will be making some changes.

See, there's your first mistake.

I like it. It definitely fits with your theme, which is a must for hotels, I think. The water elements are a nice touch.

This is just insane right here. I'm liking the funky pillars with the alternating round/square pieces.

That very colorful and great!
Make more surprise!

As i said on rctx great work here, and you have used tt blocks greatly and it is overall looking great!

UPDATE: This shows the northeast side of the hotel with the Mystic Beach Broiler and a swimming pool in the bottom left. Construction on the resort portion has begun and is going nicely. I did make some changes to the front of the hotel....I took out just a bit of foliage to reduce the crowded effect...I will show an updated screen of those changes shortly...but for now, enjoy!...

we have a winner!

the white/gold/red plus foliage is amazing.

Its great.
The plants everywhere have a great feel.
And the stairs going up the resort like that, are fab.

Keep this kinda stuff up. Its fantastic.

Still looking great but maybe just try to vary some of them plants a bit more it kind of looks fuzzy around them.

Man, that's great.. you would have done great in the PT hotel round had this been entered. You should be on that upcoming parkmaker list!

I love the way it looks!
You should post it at rct2 island.
I heard they are a very hard crowd to please.
