The Arcade Hotel Renovation - A New Era
A new gaming era!
In January 2017 the Arcade Hotel started with the renovation of the hotel. We have been operating 2 hotels from one entrance: The Aalborg and The Arcade. The Arcade hotel opened its doors in January 2016 and the exposure we received was amazing.People loved the concept, but were a tad bit disappointed.Why? There weren't enough video gaming aspects. So, we started to brainstorm about how we can incorporate more 'video game' in the hotel. Think of; e-sports, video gaming, live streaming and the gaming community.Keep in mind, we have no intention of being a video game hotel for the kids. So no Super Mario themed rooms, or RGB lighting and energy drinks everywhere. The rooms will still have the industrial design that you've come to love, but we added a tech wall. Meaning, playing video games on a HD TV in your room. What?! Yes, there's a game console in every room.Our focus is on the 'grown-up-young-at-heart' working gamer, whether travelling for work or leisure. We're not forgetting our neighbours. We aim to be a hangout for locals as well. Where they can relax, attend events/meetups and play a variety of games (board- and video games)[gallery ids="215,213,212"]
