The Animal Crossing design world is buzzing after the recent New Horizons 3.0 update. After many players assumed Nintendo was done adding content to its charming island villages, a surprise addition–a hotel perched at the end of one island dock–brought new life to the gameโs design scene.
Much like the Happy Home Paradise DLC, the hotel gives players prompts to design rooms that visiting villagers can enjoy. Some designers stick closely to these prompts, while others take a more experimental approach, creating spaces that push the boundaries of what a hotel room should be. Here are some of the most memorable designs that have popped up in the short time since the update went live.

One standout creation leans into chaos rather than comfort. User accidentalnipples designed a motel room with bulky electronics, outdated appliances, and a smattering of cockroaches. Leilani, the hotel operator, perfectly sums up the experience: She calls this room โmemorableโ for its guests. Itโs the kind of design that makes makes you laugh–a testament to the playful freedom the update encourages. No one will actually want to stay here, but it’s not like the game gives them a choice.
