GSD Group has announced that it has teamed up with the design and architecture firm Gensler, which will be the company that adapts hotels to the needs and culture of gamer. The first hotels will be in Las Vegas, Nevada; and the Phoenix, Arizona; with plans to expand to Austin, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle.
The idea is for these hotels to bring together the video game cultures of the past and present with innovative infrastructures for eSports fans and content creators, as well as old-fashioned recreation areas, nightclubs, restaurants and bars. Putting it in context, it is the idea of a resort hotel that is so widespread in the United States. There it can be customary to spend several days on vacation in the same venue that mixes hotel, small cinemas, shows, activities and more so that guests spend as much time as possible.
Furthermore, this type of hotel focused on gaming and esports experiences has already been tested in other countries, such as this esports hotel in Taiwan . There, they offer rooms equipped with high-end computers and extremely fast internet speeds, which also serve as a meeting point. GSD Group and Atari will be taking this idea, adapting it for a Western audience with additions like content creation, and using their extensive catalog of classic games for the theme and arcade areas.
