When they first announced the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 update in 2025, my starry eyes were immediately drawn to the entirely new building - the Kapp'n’s family resort hotel. It’s a big deal bringing in a new place after six years and let's also not forget, it’s entirely free. Luckily, while there are some stipulations on how to unlock the Animal Crossing hotel, I'd already passed them with a three-star rated island and access to the all-important pier.
So, as the hotel doors to possibility opened to me, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Tom Nook greeted me with his usual jolly demeanor and a troop of Kapp’n’s family; wife Leilani, daughter Leila, and Grams. My part to play in the hotel’s success was to become the chief fixer-upper, donning my interior design hat and decorating guest rooms for visitors to come and stay. Sign me up!
