LEGOLAND wanted to create a Lego-themed, family-oriented hotel located adjacent to the park’s main gate. The resulting 250-room, three-story hotel incorporates brightly colored Lego décor, a pool and lounge area, dining patio, event space, a buffet restaurant, and several unique play areas. The exterior is designed so the actual hotel itself appears to be brightly colored, oversized Lego pieces; complete with spires, cones, flags and cupolas.  A special clock tower at the entry houses a large, smoke billowing dragon.
