There will be a new shell to furnish and tour before March 3, 2024. I'll write it tomorrow or the next day! :) On Twitch, I hold a building tour of builds you’ve created for my challenge. See...

Creative notes about your build: While this building is inspired by the Taj Mahal in India, I also want to be very clear that it is not at all the same model. I wish to be respectful of the original building (which is a holy site and national treasure) and tried to keep the external design closer to the original. I should also note that the real Taj Mahal is in the more desert region of the country while this is placed in a jungle setting.
The first floor contains a gift shop and public restrooms. The second floor is a restaurant where you can experience the local cuisine. Third floor are rooms for rent on your vacation. There are three room tiers based on price, which should be obvious when looking at the beds and space of each room. Every floor has balconies available to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of the hotel.
The outside is similarly inspired by but not directly modeled after the real Taj Mahal. IRL the Yamuna river flows behind the Taj, so I wanted to make sure there was water included around the building to represent that.

Back Story: Two Americans are traveling to Selvadorado for the first time. While they are excited to experience a culture different from their own, they're also a little nervous about leaving behind some of the western comforts. This Selvadoradian hotel seemed like the perfect compromise. While it's obviously geared toward tourists with its gift shop and high-end restaurant, it also clearly incorporates the richness and diversity of the rich culture they hope to explore on their journey into the jungle.
