Starting today, you can get your hands on some never-before-seen rares in Hotel Royale! We've put thousands of rares (and some not-so-rare items) into a pile, and everyone will be able to take one every 30 minutes until we run out. Click the link below to get your first gift!

From starting out as Top Retros' official hotel and later merging with Night Life Hotel to become GameOn365's official hotel, Hotel Royale has been through quite a lot over the years. However, we're proud to announce that Hotel Royale is back and better than ever.
We've been working on Hotel Royale v9.2 since the beginning of this year, so we've put a lot of time in to ensure that your time spent in the hotel and on the site is enjoyable and exceeds that of any other.
Starting today, you can once again enter the hotel and begin building awesome rooms or join us for staff-hosted events.
Quite a variety of furniture is available at this time, but we'll continue working to bring more to the hotel over the next few months. If there's any specific furniture or features you'd like us to add, please post in the feedback forum and we'll definitely consider it.
If you find any bugs, please report them in the tracker and we'll get to work fixing them right away.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Development of the current version of Hotel Royale (v9.1) is once again nearing completion. At this time we've finished up work on the server and are currently doing some work to update the website and ensure proper connectivity.
Currently, we estimate a beta to be playable by the end of March, if not earlier. However, there's still a fair amount of work to be done, so this is subject to changes and delays.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
We've recently redesigned the Hotel Royale Portal and need your feedback! See the new portal here and then let us know what you'd like added or changed here.
The Hotel Royale Wiki is also available for use now. You can use the wiki to find user-submitted information about the hotel or you can write your own or improve/update existing articles.
The wait is finally over and we're happy to say that the Hotel Royale beta is live. This is the first beta using entirely new server-side software. We expect to find many bugs over the next few weeks, and will do our best to fix them as soon as possible. Please report any bugs that you find in the tracker.
Known bugs and issues...
What we're working on...
- Redesigning the Hotel Royale Portal.
- Automatic delivery for items that are purchased with forum points.
Enter Hotel
Hotel Royale v9 will require a complete recode of all web services to play the game. Most importantly, we will need to create an API for registration and logging in to make it a seamless experience to log in to the hotel with your forum account. We are also focusing on forum integration this time around. All information appearing on the new Hotel Royale CMS will be pulled directly from the forums - announcements, recent posts, competitions, events, the hotel wiki, rare values, and more. We have not yet decided whether the CMS will have the same skin as the forums or a hotel skin.
Major Changes
- The new version of Hotel Royale will be based out of the forums - you will need to have a forum account before you can register on the hotel. Your forum display name and hotel name will be the same.
- You will not have to re-enter all of your information to register at Hotel Royale. The only thing you may need to reenter is your password.
- Forum points can still be exchanged for hotel items and converted to coins.
- We may automate purchasing hotel items with forum points. (Currently, admins have to manually process all purchases.)
- Each day, users that have less than 3000 coins will be given 500 more coins. (Amounts subject to change.)
Minor Changes
- It will no longer be possible to have multiple accounts with the same email address.
- If your forum account is banned, you will not be able to log in to the hotel account that is associated with it.
- If your hotel account is banned, you will not be able to create another with the same forum account.
- Administrators will have to manually process display name change requests from this point on.
We do not have a release date yet. If you'd like to submit any feedback about our plans, or if you've got an idea you think we should include, you can post it at the Hotel Royale Feedback and Suggestions forum.
Happy new year, everyone! We're giving everyone in Hotel Royale 2010 more coins to kick off the new year. We're also releasing a super rare in the hotel. All of the old holiday rares will be removed from the catalog soon as well, so purchase any that you want now.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy new year,
- Hotel Royale Staff
Holiday Rares are now available in the catalog in Hotel Royale (v7/c26). They will be available for the rest of the month.
Job Mission
Design furniture that looks appealing and create the CCT for it.
How to Submit a CCT
To submit a CCT, upload it here: http://gameon365.net...=add&category=3
What will I get for designing furniture for Hotel Royale?
You will receive a badge forum points (which can be traded in for coins or saved up for a super rare) for each submission that we use in the hotel. The list below shows how many credits you will receive depending on what your item is used for:
- 1000 points for a single item if it is used as a rare
- up to 4000 points for a group of items used as rares (same item in multiple colors, gold/silver/bronze are good to include)
- up to 500 points for a single item if it is used as a normal
- up to 10000 points for a group of items (entire line of furniture) used as a normal
You may be given a staff position on the hotel or forums if you submit a lot of furniture.
Can I submit CCTs that I didn't make?
Absolutely not. If you did not make the CCTs or if you released them somewhere else, you cannot submit them here. If you would like to see other furniture added that you did not make, please make a suggestion in our feedback forum. If you do submit furniture that you did not make, you may be banned from the hotel and/or forums.
What should I create?
You can create whatever you want! If you don't have any ideas, you can fill some of our requests below instead.
- Throne recolors
- Solid gold throne
- Hotel Royale and GameOn365 posters
- Parasol recolors
- Amber lamp recolors
- Bird bath recolors
- Cars and other vehicles
- Computers, servers, and other technology-related items
Can I modify existing furniture?
Yes, you can, but you may not be given the regular amount of points for the submission. Modifying existing furniture is a good place to start if you are new to creating CCTs and designing furniture.
At this time, we have decided against converting the entire hotel to the new version. We have made this decision because a conversion would compromise the stability of the server, something that we do not wish to sacrifice in the new hotel. Instead, we are going to allow you to choose when you're ready to make the switch.
Hotel Royale v7 will be kept online for approximately two to three more months before all users must begin using the new hotel. Please make your account on the new hotel as soon as possible so that you get to keep your name. However, if your account name is already taken on the new hotel, please contact me and I will delete it so that you may register that name. When you're ready to make the switch to the new hotel, let me know and I'll move all of your rares to the new hotel for you. All current staff members will also be promoted to staff on the new hotel. Also, new new players will not be able to register on the old hotel.
Hotel Royale v8 has many new features and is much more stable. I would recommend that all users switch as soon as possible so that they may continue using the service without interruption. As with all new software, the new hotel will have bugs. Please report them in the bug tracker and they will be fixed as soon as possible.
Information will be posted here soon about how to have your rares moved to the new hotel. Also, Hotel Royale v8 is not open yet, but it should be within the next few days, if not sooner.
