I would have said that it’s largest flaw was the usage of the baseplate. Most corner buildings won’t have that alleyway as it is covered up anyway. It would have been much better if they used that space for more of the art gallery or even bathrooms for the second floor rooms or a kitchen for the hotel.
@@teakr comparing to the other corner Modulars, I agree with you completely. Comparing to Modulars in general, it does a good job of not wasting too much 😂
The red-blue-white-yellow-black art is inspired by the Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan. I think the painting in front of the window is inspired by Pablo Picasso.
I'm not so sure, but the names on the visitor's list seem to be the seven designers that worked on the modular sets for the past 15 years. Another nice touch and a nice little easter egg I guess.
I love the modular buildings that have the round corner on one of the corners. It makes it so satisfying placing one floor on top of another one, and the shape fits perfectly
Initial thoughts: it’s definitely the most detailed set, so that’s great! But it seems quite small and short for $200. Especially when looking at the box art with it propped next to the Police Station.
@@ryangann799 Even though it's a bit smaller than I expected, I'll get this day one (it's been a fun tradition waiting in line at the local LEGO store on Jan. 1) and I'm sure the build is incredibly fun. Thankfully, the wife and I have saved some good VIP points to pay for some of that $200.
@@marcuschristensen1883 oh thats great! I only buy modular buildings on my birthday and have been planning to buy the diner, tho my local shop sells it for 400$ so thats why I didnt buy it last year.
It would be perfect if the plenty empty space at the lobby use for hotel’s restaurant and at the 2nd floor at least gift 1 toilet (at least for share). But this modular set is so fantastic.
OK a couple of things i don't like there's 4 keys but only 3 rooms and only one of the rooms has a bathroom. I wouldnt have minded if the 1 bathroom was accessible to all the guests. This would have been better if it was the size of assembly Square with a bigger art gallery more rooms and a kitchen and cafe for the hotel.
I am not staying in a room without a bath but making my reservation for the Penthouse. However, this is a beauty! I thought I was the only one counting bathrooms. Lol
I like that they’ve gone back to a turn-of-the-century formula for this design - it will fit so well with the Fire Brigade. I can just imagine it being in Miami during the early 1900’s.
Yeah... A bit disappointed with this, especially as it's the 15th anniversary set. Would have looked so much better with another level and an elevator. 1 bathroom too. Compare this to the detail of Parisian restaurant or assembly square I'd say they're going backwards. Difficult to display alongside the others too. As you can tell, I'm a little disappointed.
Really like the 'crooked' building style of the hotel, too bad everything looks so cramped up inside, especially for a hotel (only 2 rooms). Wouldn't have had anything against a 48x32 plan!
*3 rooms. But yeah, they had to put boutique there😝. Then again I've been to a few hotels like that, and some can be pretty cramped. Especially if it's not supposed to be some sort of five-star ultra mega hotel. Think of it as cozy😝
Hello Jordan! Congrats you, i am Zoltán from Hungary, Europe, i waching your vids about ca. 4 years ago, and the last 3 uploads from you show how professional you become! I love your vids, you are my fave lego youtuber, love the way how you and Jose enjoying lego and life together, enjoying ewerything and every moment in life, you and Jose always positive and cute together, also love your pets, keep up the positive work, greetings and szervusz!
I think that a modular hotel would have worked better not as a corner build to allow more internal space (the angled build makes it even more cramped), the lobby is great but the bedrooms on the middle level are tiny. Also the height seems a bit odd (especially on the box art) as it is shorter than the last two modulars, I'd like a little more height. Also I wish they'd put the roof railing all the way around... all that said I'll still be buying it!
The mini-figure at 6:33 is a nod to the 2020 Bookshop because the mini-figures both share the same face and hair, long frizzy black hair that in this set is in a bun, while the Bookshop version is let loose!
Where can I find a part list per bag? I think I’ll get the bags for the second floor and modify the smaller hotel room into a hotel bathroom for all guests.
6:25 I think your barista’s left leg has a slight misprint as the brown colour does not fully match the middle and right leg and the barista’s blue ende of legs are not equal
Love the details in this one! stunning interior and love the ´Piet mondriaan´ painting! :D More full size Lego paintings from grandmasters would be amazing!
Good job!.. i really liked how you did your video ... very well paced . THank you . and hope you know how much People Appreciate what you did 🙂 - I am shocked HOW BIG the box is... hehe was that the Actual Box?? seems crazy big to me! hehe.. would love to know if thats the actual box :-) I wish some of there were more affordable for the Every Day individuals .. i know they are BEAUTIFUL and so much JOy in building... and whenever i think of LEGO SETS l like i kind of Giggle to mysef as i think of the old saying " I love get my hands on those " .. as hands/ build.... well you get it :) I been looking around for places where one could buy them 2nd or 3rd hand used... so i could afforde to get more 🙂 thank you again ! Truly .. M.
Very nice Jordan, I must ask do you plan on ever adding the Cafe Corner, Green Grocer or Market Street to your city? Surely you could afford a used one for some of the most iconic sets? Now there's 17 Modulars total
This shape? Didn't expect it. But Lego has started to quite literally cut corners on their corner modulars in sets like corner garage. I guess we expect more interior than what grand emporium gave us😝
The shape is a bit too complex for my city at the moment, I might buy it but I'm not too sure, not the best modular I've ever seen. I actually thought it was a MOC at first. Great review!
This set is really small but costs a lot more than other modulars! Such tiny rooms and tiny building (very short) . The new lego modular building style since the last year's police station looks more like a MOC style from alternative brands.
Really a beautiful building 😻. Can't wait to see you struggle finding a place for it in your city haha. I wonder if the Musical Hall reference is a hint towards next year modular 🤔 Also, that nice minifig with the glasses reminds me of Mrs Bricksie! Is it just me?
Colour is called light nougat I think. It used to be flesh on BL, but when Lego bought bricklink they thought it wasn't very inclusive to labil one colour as the "normal" flesh colour. I had never thought of that, but it makes total sense and it's great to have a more neutral name! 😀 I was very excited about all the new light nougat pieces, there have only been very few pieces made in that colour before.
Actually I think Bricksie is correct... they have "light flesh" to "dark flesh". I thought it odd at first but with the other hues it makes sense to me. (And to Lego, obviously. )
Kinda upset I won’t be getting this for Christmas because I want this out of all the other Modular’s tbh. I’m getting the bookstore and hopefully either the police station or daily bugle hopefully pray for me. I wish I could win some big lego sets in a raffle or something. But. Bricksie how do you get the sets early what do I have to do to get a set to preview?
2:15 behind the terrace window in the bottom corner, that hole is literally ugly.. lighting this is going to be atrocious. I mean good job trying out a new technique but the corners of this building held together by the 1x2 connected 1x2 pieces are the downfall of this, the sidewalks also don’t match up, the palm trees planter is to big taking away from the gathering area. The wasted 5 stud grouping in the back where the dumpster is could have been an additional part of either the lobby or the extremely small boutique.
somehow videos about the placement of new lego sets into your lego city intrigues me more than these type of reviews :). The tighteness of the room causes difficulty for you but I think the placement of them takes much more attention than classical revievs. We also wait the placement video :)
The build itself is awesome, but I feel like it's out of proportion. Especially in the bathroom, and even more so when it comes to the art gallery. There's a lot of empty space in the lobby, and the alleyway is unnecessarily long as well, so maybe they could have chipped off a little from here and there to make the gallery bigger.
Hey Bricksie... could a person build that on two plates with the angle of the hotel facing the street? It would really accentuate the amazing shape of the building and that way it wouldn't need to sit on a corner? (Like how it looks on the front on the box.) Just a thought...
I think you needed to put it alongside other modulars for this review to be more helpful - unless you are thinking of doing a different video for that. I feel like it's a very particular fit, its not a normal corner building. I don't see it being that much versatile.
Oh man how good would this look next to the Parisian restaurant
That's where my mind went as well!
exactly the same feeling
Yeah, totally doing that. Very nice combo
Where do you think I’m putting mine
@@brickheadz2865 Next to the Parisian Restaurant ?
It utilises the baseplate really well, not loads of “wasted” space used as an alley out back
I would have said that it’s largest flaw was the usage of the baseplate. Most corner buildings won’t have that alleyway as it is covered up anyway. It would have been much better if they used that space for more of the art gallery or even bathrooms for the second floor rooms or a kitchen for the hotel.

I love the modular buildings that have the round corner on one of the corners. It makes it so satisfying placing one floor on top of another one, and the shape fits perfectly
This will be the first modular that I get two copies and somehow make this larger. I think it needs a couple more floors. Great set.
Agreed!
Wow looks great. Need a gringotts like this now.
Initial thoughts: it’s definitely the most detailed set, so that’s great!
But it seems quite small and short for $200. Especially when looking at the box art with it propped next to the Police Station.
Yes agree it’s pretty small with its shape unfortunately

totally agree, its so detailed but it seems quite short and skinny tbh. Maybe one day I will buy it and put it next to the Parisian restaurant tho.
@@marcuschristensen1883 oh thats great! I only buy modular buildings on my birthday and have been planning to buy the diner, tho my local shop sells it for 400$ so thats why I didnt buy it last year.
It's the same size as Book Shop, Parisian Resturant, Brick Bank, and maybe more that I don't know
It would be perfect if the plenty empty space at the lobby use for hotel’s restaurant and at the 2nd floor at least gift 1 toilet (at least for share). But this modular set is so fantastic.
Is it just me or don't you think Bricksie´s favourite minifig look a lot like Mrs Bricksie?
That mini fig certainly does look like Mrs Bricksie! I thought so immediately!
Me too!
Same thought here
Oh good it’s not just me 😃👍
I think the snakes on the roof might be a call back to the police station with the minecraft wolf heads
I’ve been waiting for this…so excited to see it! I love the angles and the color choices …can’t wait to get it thank you😀

yeah you are right but these colours are just so fking juicy
I am not staying in a room without a bath but making my reservation for the Penthouse. However, this is a beauty! I thought I was the only one counting bathrooms. Lol
It’s not a big enough building for a hotel unfortunately. Footprint is just too small. It’s too bad cause it’s colours and style are nice
6:36 The Owner of the Art Gallery- It’s Mrs. Bricksie!
I like that they’ve gone back to a turn-of-the-century formula for this design - it will fit so well with the Fire Brigade. I can just imagine it being in Miami during the early 1900’s.
I was picking up more of a So-Cal vibe from this one
@@brandongaines1731 I was thinking this was from Havana lol
I think this fits best with the assembly square.
This set arrived for me yesterday! Looking forward to building this and placing it in my slowly small but growing city layout
Yeah... A bit disappointed with this, especially as it's the 15th anniversary set. Would have looked so much better with another level and an elevator. 1 bathroom too. Compare this to the detail of Parisian restaurant or assembly square I'd say they're going backwards. Difficult to display alongside the others too. As you can tell, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it look incredible as a display piece.
i thought the same but when i bought it idk it really started to grow on me. but yeah these things would have been really nice
Really like the 'crooked' building style of the hotel, too bad everything looks so cramped up inside, especially for a hotel (only 2 rooms). Wouldn't have had anything against a 48x32 plan!
I thought the Bookshop was a bit cramped too. I would have liked the two halves of that building to be two sets not one

How come you got yours before Jan 1 while everyone has to wait?

I was having doubts, but your enthusiasm has sold it to me.
No wonder she's your favorite minifig, she looks like Mrs. Bricksie!!
What an amazing set! I absolutely can't wait to add it to my city.
Nice lego set. It has so much detail. I like all the easter eggs.
Ditto. As soon as we build it. It’s going right next to the Parisian restaurant!
Your favorite character looks like Mrs Bricksie!
this set looks absolutli amazing
This set is amazing!!!!!!
Looks an amazing set. I’ll be looking to get one of these! Great review

That's looks INSANLY AWESOME! Nice build looks great. It's going to look really good next to Venician Houses set
Really hope there’s a modular skyscraper like building in the future but in a way that keeps the older theme
Great video as always!!! Thank you!!!
I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but is the movie in the TV the same as in the Palace cinema set?
Great review. So glad you could get this before your trip...and hope that is going well :)
I don’t buy modular buildings but this one looks great. Very unique shape and design
I think the cube in the art gallery is a reference/Easter egg to the one that was on the older creator expert set boxes
The scene on the TV in the top room looks like it could be another scene from the b&w movie starring Minnie Figure from the movie theater set!
I'm defiantly getting this set love the details
Pretty sure it would be hard four the Minifigs to get that luggage trolley up those stairs
Where can I find a part list per bag? I think I’ll get the bags for the second floor and modify the smaller hotel room into a hotel bathroom for all guests.
Looking forward for the building placing video!
The clear brick pieces that make up that cube thing is the creator expert logo
Whats the GWP to this set ?
that cube in the art gallery is actually the creator expert logo
6:25 I think your barista’s left leg has a slight misprint as the brown colour does not fully match the middle and right leg and the barista’s blue ende of legs are not equal
Love the details in this one! stunning interior and love the ´Piet mondriaan´ painting! :D
More full size Lego paintings from grandmasters would be amazing!
Can't wait to get this set, I think I'm going to build it as a mirrored version of itself so the art gallery is next to the diners stairs
Well done, what a great lego set release for the start of 2022 :)
I love the snakes on the roof 😁
4:20 I always thought their main use was for ATVs (also yes funny number)
Good job!.. i really liked how you did your video ... very well paced . THank you . and hope you know how much People Appreciate what you did 🙂
- I am shocked HOW BIG the box is... hehe was that the Actual Box?? seems crazy big to me!
hehe.. would love to know if thats the actual box :-)
I wish some of there were more affordable for the Every Day individuals .. i know they are BEAUTIFUL and so much JOy in building... and whenever i think of LEGO SETS l like i kind of Giggle to mysef as i think of the old saying " I love get my hands on those " .. as hands/ build.... well you get it :)
I been looking around for places where one could buy them 2nd or 3rd hand used... so i could afforde to get more 🙂
thank you again !
Truly .. M.
Nice set, I really like it. Next year a hospital on 32x48 baseplate to "even out" assemble square.
Very nice Jordan, I must ask do you plan on ever adding the Cafe Corner, Green Grocer or Market Street to your city? Surely you could afford a used one for some of the most iconic sets? Now there's 17 Modulars total
He actually sold the green grocer and Café corner 1 or 2 years ago.
@@brickfalcon4919 oh dang really? Is it on this channel? Did he say why?
Can you do a review video showing us what neighbor buildings are best for this new modular?
But will you have a moc on how to use 2 sets? It needs more rooms but a good idea. I really would love a school in the next couple of years.
Owner of the fine art gallery minifig reminds me so much of Mrs. Bricksie lol
I thought this was a moc set I never expected lego to make a building with that shape

Love love this set
The 'cube art' is the LEGO Creator Expert logo.
The back of the box shows the Boutique Hotel in between the Police Station (10278) and the Bookshop (10270).
I’m totally getting this
finally the new modular building is revealed
hello little question for the maintenance of your legos, how do you do with the dust?
Check out how I clean my Lego:

How did you get this soo early? I have to wait until Jan 1
It’s beautiful and now I’m considering on buying it
Awesome set !
Looks epic
This set is awesome, can’t wait to get it on the 1st !
What are the base plates dimensions?
I know what I'll be getting as the first set of next year!
Put this by your beach looks like a beach resort
You missed one easter egg. The girl on the vintage TV is the little girl from the Palace Cinema!
