6:55 and that's exactly why I'm always afraid of getting the first one xd This set is amazing, you should build a minifig scale Citroen 2CV to go with it.
Exactly that! As much as I'd like to have the Parisian Restaurant and can't forgive myself not getting the Brick Bank, I fear - if I started - these two wouldn't be the end of it.
I've gotten into the modulars and just set myself a limit of buying the new one every year, as my only big Lego purchase yearly. No going back to older modulars or getting those that are still on the market right now. You could always set yourself a limit like that, I think it's absolutely worth it, to get a modular once a year. Great sets, slowly building my ztreet
I personally felt like Corner Garage and Bookshop were low points for the modular theme. But with the Police Station, and now this beautiful hotel, it feels like they've returned to their signature style. I particularly love the colors used here, especially the "light flesh" peach color. I also appreciate how this modular has some empty space. Will give a layout some breathing room when connected to other buildings.
The main reason why I love the corner garage. People generally dislike it, but I think the angled build technique is both fun to do and way more interesting to look at
I am a technic guy as you know, but the modular buildings are just too good to not build them... this one is still missing in my collection. I am struggeling to chose between this one and the Diner (found one for 320 new). What do you think?
It came out last year so you have time to buy it. The dinner is retired though? So I would try and get that as soon as possible. Prices usually increase with these releases
You know what, I'm not only fan of Lego but also your fan. I can feel how honestly you reviewing every Lego set from the former Lego staff eyes... Obrigado
@@TiagoCatarino Did you recently stop with the new elements showcase section in your videos? I quitte liked those, as they gave me a more detailed look into the new elements :)
Agreed. He can do a video review on toilet water tasting and I will watch it. His execution is straight to the point but still detailed and well presented.
Hey Tiago! Please, please do a “Modular Building Ranking” video. I’m sure a lot of us, myself included, would love to get your thoughts on your favorites, especially with the inside-scoop perspective you have with other designers and the review process for this line. Also - did you ever have a desire to design a Modular Building? If so, what would you have liked to create?
Wow! What a beautiful building. They have come a long way. Amazing detail. I really want to see how they filled out the floors since there is so many angles and shapes. Amazing job Lego!!
The best looking still been the Assembly Square considering the tons of references (assembly techniques from other modulars) plus still the absolute biggest modular from all time and tons of details inside... Still this new Hotel could be in a top 5
I’ve never been into modulars/City, but I saw this set at Walmart when I checked the LEGO section and instantly fell in love with it. You’re too right about that end bit, now I have my eyes on the diner, Parisian restaurant, and detective office😂
The lobby of the hotel does seem to be quite empty, especially underneath the stairs! Perhaps with the luggage trolley and the coffee cart (modified to be a refreshements bar) inside, it'll look much more decorated. But the top two floors were done perfectly, so props to lego for that! Not too sure how I feel about the mini art gallery though. I like the clever techniques used for the art pieces. But I would have rather had more space for the hotel or the outdoor dining area. Personally, I love the set, it looks good from the outside AND the inside. But I don't get the feeling that this is a '15th anniversary set'. Maybe I was hoping for a much larger set like the Assembly Square which was 32x48 studs. Still, I haven't bought a modular in a while and the Hotel is definetely a stand-out from the past modulars so I'll definetely be getting it. Thanks again for the review, Tiago!
Feel positive to the set at first glance, and love it even more after enjoying your professional review and its cozy tone. I have been gone deep into this modular building pool since the Palace Cinema in 2013. Just like you said at the end of the video, really cannot stop myself from adding each set into my collection! And just some personal thoughts... The set would be more complete if the designer can add a small cafe area + a nostalgic chandelier/jukebox in the main lobby. I would be happier if a bit more metallic gold bricks are included to make the hotel even more classy.
I think there should be a bathroom in the main lobby, as a sort of explanation for the two rooms in the second floor not having one. I might build my own
@@TiagoCatarino its just my dream to work at lego (tho you leaving lego probably wasnt dumb for your situation) its really interesting to see your perspective on lego sets
I love this! What a stunning build! I'm obsessed with these modulars. I got Parisian restaurant back in 2017, then an almost 5-year gap before getting Bookshop, Police Station, and Assembly Square! Love them so much! I missed out on downtown diner, though, which ... waaah! That was actually one of my favorites! I plan on snapping this up before too long!
@Fern Forever Same dude, I only got into the modular line in 2018 and the Diner is still my favourite modular. The Hotel looks so stunning though, will have to get that eventually
I've always liked Hotels, so I think this pretty model is the best modular building since the Diner, though that still takes the (pan)cake in my opinion. Great review dude, you get straight to the point, cover everything (plus your voice is just nice to listen to ngl).
My favorite lego modular building was the corner garage, for the tools and the vintage fuel pump. I hope you will do a video on the highlighted builds of this set.
Just bought this as my first Modular Building. I'm both excited about finally building something this large-scale and detailed and absolutely terrified for my wallet with the prospect of buying more of them. Daily Bugle first, then more modular buildings lol.
I like that with the art shop and terrace they delivered a modular that can connect to the Police station modular without weirdly blocking the small side build and billboard on it. This will replace the Chinese New Years set I have there now.
1:18 they probably heard about cubism, the art movement, and made the funny name into a fine art shop/gallery in lego, that's some advanced humor in a lego building lol
Don’t speak bad about my diner set, That is the only modular set I bought because I love the look of those dinners from that era. And it had Elvis recording studio and boxing was a big thing in that time.
Agreed the diner is nice. Surprised he shit on that as an eyesore then praised this color scheme. I like this but it looks like a tough fit. At least the corner garage is sturdy from both sides imho.
@@TiagoCatarino But that is a really nice perspective to come at this set with. I am personally a huge fan of the Modulars, though I have my preferences, so knew I was likely going to love it. But for somebody that would not normally buy them to recommend it is great to hear. Can't wait to build it myself and add it to the city :D
I'm very excited to buy this modular, as I plan to add a public bathroom to the ground floor. I'm very confident that will fill the space perfectly, and not leave such an empty feeling inside. 199, for a 3100 piece set seems extremely reasonable. Besides the Home Alone set, I think this will be the first Modular I buy straight from Lego!
Love these reviews! I have this in my pile. Had to have it and promptly bought the bookshop, police station and Assembly Square. All waiting to be built, lol. Feast or famine, my Lego to do pile. This set was a no brainer with all of the details, the interesting architecture, the beautiful colors.
I think there is beside the railing, a bathroom in the groundfloor for the 2 rooms on the first and a door to the dumpster, because next to other buildings it will be in a yard in between
I bought 77 of this set. This set is nice and makes an enormous hotel! The art studio, I changed it into a bus station. New bus matches it. Bus arrives in August.
definitely gives off vibes of Cafe Corner and Market Street. But still not a modular collector (I mean I was 11 and my family was poor when CC came out) and I'd get the palace cinema and diner and many others first.
Just got my first modular building (Police Station) for Christmas and I have a feeling that I'll be getting more of them just based on how awesome this one looks!
This is way better than I had even hoped for! It gives me some Cuban vibes, now I want to build an entire layout in that style :) Although, it might fit in my Parisian city, next to the park maybe?
I recently finished this set and I have already ordered a lightkit to light it up,btw I will be building a jazz club on September 11(I will be 22 years old that day,in other words I bought it for my birthday)
Is this the best modular building ever?!

Likely the best Modular since The Diner 👍🏼
I would suggest the book store, its amazing
Are you portugues?
It's not!
Beautiful Building. Would have loved to see what the Hotel looks like when connected with 2 other modular Buildings.
Noted! Unfortunately I like I mentioned, not the biggest modular buildings fan, so even though I do have a few, they're not built :P
@@TiagoCatarino I can hear Kirk Christiansen crying;)
I will be doing a modular building video of them being connected very soon as my hotel arrives.
@@TiagoCatarino Why aren't you a fan of the modular buildings?

so YOU are gonna make a citroen 2CV hachiroku? If yes then i'm looking foward to that

Speaking as someone who has spent a bunch of money on Modulars so much so I own every one except the first 2, yep it's highly addicting

Just like Corner Garage, seeing how the designer attached bricks at an angle for the shape of the building is incredibly interesting and fun to see.

I agree with your points about this set not overdoing the detail!
The script for this is very well written especially for someone who’s first language wasn’t English. Bravo 👏
crazy that they were actually referencing the next modular with the jazz hall sticker, i think thats the best modular easter egg we've gotten so far
It was a reference to the assembly square not the jazz club set
But does it have wifi?
I Hope So
1:09 How dare you insult the Downtown Diner, it was a beautiful Retro set
Wow! What a beautiful building. They have come a long way. Amazing detail. I really want to see how they filled out the floors since there is so many angles and shapes. Amazing job Lego!!
This is amazing!
But I think there should have been some kind of breakfast room in the lobby
Indeed!
The best looking still been the Assembly Square considering the tons of references (assembly techniques from other modulars) plus still the absolute biggest modular from all time and tons of details inside... Still this new Hotel could be in a top 5
That dumpster connection point is so genius

Anyone else think the poster for the sax player could be foreshadowing for the jazz club?
I have been waiting modular like this for so long. This is a must buy model. The building design and fashion mind worth more than the price.
This gives me an Italian cafe vibe! You can’t deny it. The flowers, and the whole style. It’s perfection! Mama Mia!
This looks sooo good Tiago!!!!!!!
It does!!!
Wow! This looks like a really good set
It is!

Short and sweet. Thanks for the review :)
Will 100% add this too my city
Watching this while I put together the gingerbread house. My first build of yours I think and we are loving it!
You really do excellent review and reveal videos! I’m looking forward to 1/1 for several Lego releases, this one goes straight to the top of the list!
Thank you!
First time I'm seeing this
Brilliant as always
The print on the barista minifig is actually from the Chinese New Year theme,specifically the “Story of Nian” set (it goes on the grandfather.)
Thank you for the early review of this awesome set. This is a day one purchase for me for sure. You do the BEST Lego set reviews!
love your videos man Inspirational
I appreciate that! Thanks!

What a wonderful Set! I can’t wait to get it in January! Thank you for this Video!
Fantastic addition to the series - Great review
Glad you think so!
This set has barely been unveiled and you already have a review on it. That’s why I love your channel Tiago!
Thanks! Gotta thank LEGO for sending some early copy reviews :)

I own all modulars and I agree with you : this 2022 Set is one of my favorites.. Nice review.
Awesome review, I look forward to this set. Thank you!
love ur review n thks for the warning of diving into mod....
i wish i knew about that
When LEGO makes a better hotel than Disney
Oh gorgeous. Love the use of parts . Snakes on a railing lol
amazing!
You are!
My favorite lego modular building was the corner garage, for the tools and the vintage fuel pump. I hope you will do a video on the highlighted builds of this set.
That is a such a nice design (there is a cool parts) and I will buy the set
Glad you like it!
Wow. I had no idea it was real!
Fantastic Review Tiago !!
This set is amazing. Thanks for making interesting videos!

I agree with many, the building techniques on this set are awesome and the beautiful. Reminds me of Key West
1:36 The art print is reference to Galidor - Nick (McDonald's Happy Meal toy version - set 4040) XD
1:40 : Great to have a *Mondrian's artwork*
when you know first Lego bricks' colours sere _inspired_ by his paintings 😊
Thanks for the awesome review as always!
A great review Tiago. Definitely a set I'll pick up. I'd love to expand it with a second set.
I LOVE IT! So excited to get this one. Thank you for your awesome video(s)!
You are so welcome!
This is a very good set. I hope these lego reviews continue.
That's the plan! Thank you!
the reviewing is very nice
I appreciate that thanks!
Looks amazing!

Very TRUE on the modular building collection. I BRICKLINK ALL the retired modulars. My wife loves them. We have a small city all over our house 😉
This might just be my first modular. It reminds of the blacksmith ideas set with a perfect balance of colors and diverse esthetics in the build.
i thinking about this or assembly square cant decide....
This is gonna be my first modular for my 13th birthday, really exited
1:18 they probably heard about cubism, the art movement, and made the funny name into a fine art shop/gallery in lego, that's some advanced humor in a lego building lol
I’ve made it, ok like 2-3 days of on and off building. It looks really good and his the first modular building I’ve bought. Can’t wait to get more!
Can’t wait to get this great review😀😀
2:37 “4 keys at the back, though the place only has 3 rooms to rent” XD

Great build. The corner structure reminds me of the entrance to Gran Via in Madrid, specifically the Metropolis building.
The faceprint for the barista guy is already in Ninjago gardens
I definitely wanna pick this up next year:)
definitely gives off vibes of Cafe Corner and Market Street. But still not a modular collector (I mean I was 11 and my family was poor when CC came out) and I'd get the palace cinema and diner and many others first.

My favs are assembly square and the bookshop - have just bought this one today :)
Love the lego set!
What surprises me is that the new flesh color is the same as flesh minifigure head. FINALLY THEY DID IT!!
How do I get to the dumpster? They forgot the backdoor.
I recently finished this set and I have already ordered a lightkit to light it up,btw I will be building a jazz club on September 11(I will be 22 years old that day,in other words I bought it for my birthday)
