10 Inspiring Modular Hotel LEGO MOCs: Instructions, Tips and Ideas

LEGO Modular Hotel MOCs – Inspiration, Tips & 10 Fantastic Builds

Designing a great Modular Hotel MOC is all about telling stories in bricks. Guests check in, luggage trolleys roll across tiled lobbies, and façades glow with evening lights along your LEGO city street. Hotels are the perfect playground for layered interiors—lobbies, cafés, spas, rooftop pools, recording studios, or even parking garages—and they reward clever floor-by-floor planning so each level can lift off for play and display. Think about the experience from sidewalk to skyline: a welcoming entrance canopy, crisp signage, a compelling color palette, and a roofline that reads from across the room. Inside, mix compact furniture builds (beds, desks, minibars), repeated room modules for efficiency, and at least one standout space (atrium, ballroom, or rooftop lounge) that gives the model its personality.

From a parts perspective, start with a stable footprint (32×32 or 32×48). Use SNOT for window frames and cornices, and combine textured elements—masonry bricks, grille tiles, ingots—for refined façades. Technic bricks with pins keep floors aligned while allowing easy separation. Lighting (real or implied) makes the hotel feel alive; trans-clear plates and warm-tone tiles suggest lamps and sconces. Don’t forget storytelling on the street: a taxi dropping off guests, a bellhop, a café terrace, or even a small tree and fountain. Whether you prefer Art Deco glamour, minimalist boutique chic, or vintage European charm, a modular hotel can anchor your city and spark a whole avenue of complementary builds.

Build Tips (quick wins)

• Lock in your footprint early (32×32, 32×48 corner/straight) and align sidewalk tiles with your city grid.

• Use repeated room modules (bed + bath + closet) to save time and parts; mirror them for variety.

• Hide elevator shafts/stair cores in the center for stability and clean façades.

• Layer SNOT window stacks (brackets + jumpers) to get slim, realistic frames.

• Cornices & ledges: stack headlight bricks + tiles for crisp rooflines.

• Lobby pop: patterned floor (checker, herringbone) and a reception desk with curved slopes.

• Add signage with printed tiles/letter tiles; backlight with trans-yellow for a night vibe.

• Use Technic pins between floors for perfect alignment and easy removal.

• Rooftop stories: pool, bar, garden, or mechanical penthouse for believable silhouettes.

• Keep play access—swing-open wall panels or big removable sections beyond the standard floors.

Ideas for Hotel Types

• Boutique Art Deco corner with strong verticals and neon-style signage.

• Beach resort with pool deck and palm planters.

• Business hotel with conference room and café.

• Historic hostel with weathered masonry and shared spaces.

• Grand imperial hotel with arches and colonnades.

• Music/creator hotel with an attached recording studio.

• Urban motel with parking garage/drive-through.

• Lux tower with double-height lobby and suites.

• Café-hotel hybrid: bakery downstairs, rooms above.

• Alt-build hotels using parts from a single set for budget creativity.
