I'm so happy to have found a home for the 2022 Modular, Boutique Hotel 10297, in my LEGO City! However, it wasn't as easy to find a good spot for it as I thought
The 2022 Modular will be released on January 1st, 2022. It has 3066 pieces and will be retailing for $200. I love how unique this modular is, but the interesting angles and the Art Gallery next door made it extremely difficult to find a good home for it. I thought it would be perfect next to the Parisian Restaurant, but that turned out to be the worst possible spot for it.
After a bit of trial and error, I placed the newest corner modular and couldn't be more happy with it! What do you think of its location?

Where’s the diner going

@Foghorn8 2 года назад

I feel like this building was designed to go alongside the Laundrette sign as the box art shows because it better shows off the Police Station sign. I also think that since the “rear” of the hotel is finished with windows and that whole elevation looking at the side of the art gallery and alleyway is attractive enough to have it exposed it could simply go at the end of a line of modulars and not necessarily connected to two in a corner arrangement.

@Jackisafanofstarwars 2 года назад

Waitt!! Am I the only one who thought the Parisian restaurant looked really good next to the boutique hotel? They looked like they belong together like something that u would actually see in real life!

I am completely on the other side of the fence - I really like the look next to the Parisian Restaurant. I might not see the whole picture and how exactly those two terraces interact with each other, but from the angles you presented I really enjoy that the palm tree has a place to breathe and similar areas of dining are not that distant from each other. On the other hand, when placed next to Assembly Square, I don't like the big wall right behind the terrace - creates an impression of a shady alley. Also the architecture style much more matches with the Parisian Restaurant IMO. It's interesting how impressions can differ from person to person. Good luck with your LEGO city!

@somethingawesome9547 2 года назад

I too wanted to see the Parisian restaurant next to the new modular; however, I do not think any of us meant for it to be attached on the palm tree side. That obviously would not look good. That essentially wedges a palm tree between two structures that otherwise look like they belong together. We were hoping to see it on the other side. And I don't think the corner garage looks good next to the boutique hotel. Looks like the Parisian restaurant would be more fitting. The problem though is that putting the restaurant there would ruin your layout since you need another corner set to be adjacent to the hotel.

@Fubuki43 2 года назад

The Parisian Restaurant actually has its wall more to the back than the 'wall side' of the Boutique Hotel, so those would not align well at all on that side unfortunately

@somethingawesome9547 2 года назад

@@Fubuki43 Then that’s that.

@Fubuki43 2 года назад

@@somethingawesome9547 The Boutique Hotel is definitely a difficult building to place. I personally don't know which modular will work well next to it... I guess the Police Station was made to be looked at from the side with the sign and all, but I'm not entirely convinced about placing the Boutique Hotel next to it. The Parisian Restaurant definitely has the most similar style

There is a picture on google with parisian restauran on the other side of new modular and yea it doesnt look as good as you would first thought

@theBrickBlogger 2 года назад

Thanks for demonstrating how the Boutique Hotel looks at different locations. Although I like the set, honestly, I don't think that awkward angle looks good near any of the other Modulars. I'm thinking that it might look best next to an open space, like a park. The unusual colors and odd shapes need some breathing room.

@samturpie1756 2 года назад

I agree! I like the design, but it doesn't really work all too well with the square formation of modular buildings. if the city block was more triangular in shape it would work perfectly in my opinion

@lightsaberproductions8592 2 года назад

I think it fits best next to the Parisian Restaurant, the gaps fit together perfectly

@mezbricks 2 года назад

To be honest it's a bit tough to place. I do like the contrast with the garage, but the bar and palm tree make it cluttered next to anything. I think it would actually look good next to the apartment of The Bookstore.

@randolphthesilver4245 2 года назад

It would look best next to a modular with "room" next to the patio side. Any modular with a flat wall by it, like the assembly square, will just look weird having that bare wall unless you modded it to be more visually appealing. That said, the Parisian restaurant looks best. Or the Lantern Festival.

@The6Guest 2 года назад

Yeah, I agree. Having it next to the Parisian Restaurant is good because that way the windows on the left side of the Boutique aren't looking directly at a wall either.

I was hoping you'd make this video! Thank you so much :D But to be completely honest, Assembly Square really doesn't look good from the right side, simply because that wall is meant to be up against another wall. It's gonna remain a mystery as to which building looks the best on the palm tree side of the Boutique Hotel :)

I would suggest putting it to the right of the police station, because the wall it goes up against is completely solid with no weird colors like other modulars, plus the billboard would be more visible

@BrickHQ 2 года назад

I like the intro! The placement next to Assembly Square looks nice, but over the palm tree you can see the back of the Corner Garage (4:00). Maybe you cover it somehow. The city looks great!

@Garaktys 2 года назад

I think the boutique hotel would look really nice next to the police station as the low profile of the art shop of the hotel allows for the big sign of the police station to be more visible!

I still think it looks good next to the parisian restaurant, however i think the best way to display it would be to build windows into the side of a preixisting modular, like the right side of Al’s barber shop

@Kritzelpaul 2 года назад

Your city is getting bigger and better everytime! Personally, I liked the hotel next to the restaurant. I think it doesn't fit next to the city square, because it leaves the ugly wall completely uncovered. Unfortunately there are not many other modulars that can cover it up.

@Emmasaurus 2 года назад

That's a good point! The wall is mostly uncovered now... we might move it around a bit more in the future to see what looks better

I've put mine next to the Parisian restaurant, as you did. I think having the bar and the outdoor restaurant terrace next to each other works. Personally, i think a hotel would have a decent restaurant attached rather than be next door to a garage and a vets. Think of the noise and the smell!

@TwistedRetard 2 года назад

For me the best placement was in the center of the bookshop with the bookshop itself next to the gallery and the townhouse apartment on the "backside" of the hotel. The bookshop really fit next to the assembly square colorwise also so I felt it looked the best that way.

@lifesabrick5104 2 года назад

Have you considered building an 8 x 16 mils plate tiled section to create space between modulars? I built one to have next to the right side of the Parisian Restaurant, that way the stairwell to the upper floor doesn't get hidden and looks accessible. I tiled it off with different color tiles and added the popcorn cart, a bench, a unique street lamp and a bicycle rack. Assembly Square has an extra section as it is and I've always thought it odd to have all these buildings pressed next to each other wall to wall anyway.

@JustCallMePCra 2 года назад

@GregOrCreg 2 года назад

Would you consider swapping the Grand Emporium and the Garage? I know it's a silly issue, but I just think that a 5 star hotel would go better next to a high-end shop rather than a garage (wouldn't a garage be relatively noisy and dirty?) And I think a garage is a better fit for the part of the city that features the police station and the Daily Bugle, where all the activity is occurring.

@jamesbowdenclassics 2 года назад

The building can fit in several portions of your city if it the building was mirror built with the art studio on the right instead.

@andrewtaylor940 2 года назад

This one looks like it is going to be tuff to place on a shelf city. It's really got to be on the right hand side of a city block with the Cubo facing out. The other side is colorful, but unexciting. You need the busy and sharply angled side out. It combines the positioning issues of the Bank, Diner and PR in one 32x32 space. yay? It does look great though.

@DCLXVIDS 2 года назад

the shape of the new modular building is great however such a shape building would only make sense on a corner of a straight and diagonal street.. I think it will look awkward a little everywhere on a sqaure base.

@HenBrick69 2 года назад

I think on the left side of Assembly Square, wall to wall is the best look in my humble opinion. Then you will get a nice symmetry of the 2 towers. The only problem is I can see you'll need some heavy rearrangements to achive that.

@robertdejong9427 2 года назад

How about putting the Parisian Restaurant on the other (right) side of the Boutique Hotel? How would that look?

@eseskay99 2 года назад

Emily, I am having a hard time also fitting the Boutique Hotel into the city. I think the architecture does not fit into the city. And the building is a bit short. Perhaps if you expand your water front and beach area, the Boutique Hotel would fit better. The architecture of the Boutique Hotel fits a Caribbean setting best, such as Cuba or Jamaica. Just my opinion. The palm tree fits a tropical setting better.

@ClicketyBrick 2 года назад

Loving the city! A bit off topic: what did you modify on Assembly Square to get it on a MILS plate?

@Emmasaurus 2 года назад

When modifying the sets for MILS, I took off the top floors of the modulars, then did my best to "break off" the first floor of the modular from the baseplate to move it onto the mils plate (from bottom to top: baseplate, brick, plate). Then I go through and move the tiles and any other pieces from the "original" set over to the MILS plate.

@anjelcastro9756 7 месяцев назад

The angle is what makes me dislike the set a lot, because its basically near impossible to place it well in a city, which is why i'm currently looking at MOCs for the Boutique Hotel so i can have a nicer looking corner buildings and maybe build my own Boutique Hotel MOC.

@finalsecretofchrono1339 2 года назад

I hear the complaints for the awkward fit. This style of building in real life is one of my favorites. They can be found in a lot of cities; there's the Flatiron building in New York City; Columbus Tower in San Francisco. There are also many in London and beyond. These buildings aren't on a typical 90 degree street corner, they're designed to 'corner' two streets in a 'V' corner shape. I'm sure with a second set, maybe someone will figure it out how to do this, but this shouldn't have to be the case.
