LEGO Boutique Hotel Modular Building Review (10297 | 2022)

50 Comments

1. Hello Bricksie 😁

2. 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

3. Ditto. As soon as we build it. It’s going right next to the Parisian restaurant!

4. Great review Bricksie. I’ve been looking forward to this.

5. Which is better this or the daily bugle

6. 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.

7. 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

8. The clear brick pieces that make up that cube thing is the creator expert logo

9. The owner of the Art Gallery figure reminds me a little of Josee

10. It’s a well built set but I’m a bit underwhelmed, it is very small for a hotel and doesn’t really fit in a city environment.

11. The back of the box shows the Boutique Hotel in between the Police Station (10278) and the Bookshop (10270).

12. I love the exterior, but they could have done more with the interior.
    The lobby is so very big and empty… and a hotel really needs more than just 3 rooms 😉

13. I dislike the nougat color and overall color scheme. One of the few modulars that I am not excited about.

14. 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…

15. 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?

16. Don’t get the hate this set has, this thing is really good! Sure, it is quite smaller than other modulars, but is is really cool!

17. 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!

18. 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.

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

20. rather disappointing for an anniversary set. i’ve never seen palm trees with vertical leaves.

21. Interesting. I’d say the architectural style is art nouveau but i could be wrong.

22. Whats the GWP to this set ?

23. the color match could be better

24. 200€ is to expensive, but cool set

25. Good arsitek

    I am going to 100 subscriber
    I am very happy if you be 1 of this
    🙂 🙂 🙂

26. Why not use a good camera to make this review?

27. Beautiful building however I was hoping for a larger art gallery floor to add to my lego city. 😭

28. Really hope there’s a modular skyscraper like building in the future but in a way that keeps the older theme

29. I love the snakes on the roof 😁

30. 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

31. How did you get this soo early? I have to wait until Jan 1

32. The exterior looks nice, but I really don’t like the light nougat color used on the second floor… 😱

33. Buddy just a heads up… im from Edmonton to and all i have to say is stop being rude to the employees at the lego store WEN and southgate. And im being really polite atm

34. I want it

35. 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 🙂

36. Great review. So glad you could get this before your trip…and hope that is going well 🙂

37. That transparant cube art is actually the ‘Creator Expert’ logo

38. Very good video

39. Can we praise Lego for finally giving us a modular that might go well when placed to the right of the Parisian Restaurant?

40. @Bricksie are they expecting a 15th anniversary gift with purchase for this set?

41. Is it me, or does that giant box lead you to believe the assembled unit would be much bigger then it really is? I like it just the same. 🙂

42. Set is a total disappointment. Another 19th Century building 🙁

43. Bad design, the interior too tiny than exterior building. Let’s see the price when launch

44. 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.

45. I like the design but not sure about the color scheme specially in the second floor and I think the palm tree does not match well in this set but is a great build

46. So great!!!!!

47. This set desperately needed an elevator. Not only is the luggage cart completely pointless without one but also i cannot think of any pop culture or real hotel without a elevator

48. Not feeling that palm tree or the bright blue, but otherwise its beautiful!

49. It’s a shame the snake fence thing on the roof doesn’t go around the side of the building too, hopefully it won’t look too odd next to other buildings

    Other than that, it’s an amazing build. Can’t wait to pick it up eventually

50. I am disappointed with this set. All the gorgeous details on each floor are not really visible unless you remove the floor above. Which isn’t too difficult to do, I guess there is no happy solution.
