“Looking back on the incredible journey of Cities: Skylines, it’s clear to see that it has become more than just a game. It's a community of passionate and creative individuals who have built intricate and magnificent cities with their own unique visions,” said Mariina Hallikainen, CEO of Colossal Order. “Hotels & Retreats is the last expansion for Cities: Skylines and celebrates its legacy by introducing ways for players to express their creativity.”

Cities: Skylines - Hotels & Retreats gives players the tools they need to build luxury accommodations and tourist attractions to boost their city's economy. Players start with a small hotel chain and unlock more specialized accommodations.
