Get ready to experience the thrill of running a hotel like never before!
Northgate is thrilled to introduce the NEW ONLINE VERSION of our bestselling business simulation, Hotel!
With this new version:
- Teams view their Briefs online and input decisions directly on their laptops
- Teams can also access initial data on their phones, ensuring everyone stays in sync - even at different reading speeds
- As the Trainer, it runs itself, so you’re free to observe the action unfold, ready to deliver an impactful Debrief!
Why Choose Hotel ONLINE?
- Compete with 2, 3 or 4 teams in real-time, each team using their own laptop to outwit and outmanoeuvre the competition
- Harness the power of technology for seamless gameplay – no paperwork, no hassle!
- As Trainer you can sit back and relax!! You have your own laptop to set up and control the simulation and you can monitor results in real time. You have plenty of time to view team inputs and results and prepare for the all-important Debrief.
Your Role as Trainer
You have everything you need to run the activity smoothly to:
- introduce the simulation
- provide access codes to teams
- observe teams in action and monitor their decisions via the Trainer Dashboard
- facilitate the Debrief to unlock powerful learning moments
How the Game Works
Teams analyse data from four hotels and choose one to manage. A thrilling online auction kicks off the action! Teams submit their key decisions online: room rates, staff requirements, wage levels, marketing budgets, and even whether to spy on the competition!
Once all decisions are in, teams receive: a Profit & Loss report for their hotel, opportunities and challenges to tackle and expert advice from a business guru (to follow or ignore – it’s up to them!). Plus Crisis situations pop up each round for teams to consider (or you can disable this optional feature at the start of the game).
High Stakes, High Energy
Across six engaging rounds, teams adapt their strategies, react to Crisis situations, and deal with unpredictable challenges that test their decision-making skills. Every choice counts! The team with the highest profit wins – but teamwork, creativity, and resilience are key to victory.
