The world’s first gaming hotel, the Arcade Hotel in Amsterdam, will reopen in May after a massive redesign. The owners are hoping to improve the hotel’s many offerings by redesigning the lobby, the bar and the restaurant, plus expanding the hotel to 43 rooms.
The Arcade Hotel opened in January 2016 and made headlines immediately. Each room comes with a retro console and a stack of computer games — all for free. The lobby and bar are also outfitted with arcade machines and multiplayer consoles. The owners also host regular gaming events.
New additions following the revamp will include a game room with Virtual Reality headsets, the latest computer consoles and gaming PCs. That’s on top of the current crop of gaming machines on offer including Ataris, Nintendo Entertainment Systems, Gameboys, PlayStations, Game Cubes, Super Nintendos, N64s and Xboxes.
The hotel also includes a comic book library, bicycle rental and lecture events.
