Habbo Hotel is one of the largest teen online communities with 16 different hotels. It is a virtual world for young people, a massively multiplayer online game where teenagers create their own virtual character and interact with other characters in the hotel. Habbo Hotel provides the means to self-expression, creativity, fun and curiosity within a positive community. A place where young people can meet friends - and make new ones.

The ongoing success of Habbo Hotel is based on easy usability and a living community. It is the community that creates a truly unique gaming environment. A great deal of the changing content is created by the users themselves, thus the content is always up-to-date and interesting. It is possible to play free of charge as only decorating the rooms and participating in some competitions is chargeable. In addition to a computer all that is needed to check in to Habbo Hotel is an Internet connection. On a monthly basis, users who choose chargeable services, spend on average a sum roughly equivalent to a movie ticket.

Sulake Corporation is an interactive entertainment company. It specializes in developing, publishing and distributing multiplayer online communities and games, like Habbo Hotel. Sulake was established 2000, and it has more than doubled its annual revenues each year since that, and this growth is expected to continue during 2005.


The main shareholders in Sulake include Taivas Group, 3i Group plc, Elisa Group and Benchmark Capital followed by the company’s founders Sampo Karjalainen and Aapo Kyrölä, Sulake’s CEO Timo Soininen and other personnel.


Sulake has localized Habbo Hotel communities in 16 countries on four continents: North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Company headquarters is in Finland and there are Sulake offices in 14 countries. Currently Sulake has more than 200 employees worldwide.

Habbo Hotel, with its 4 million unique monthly users and over 130 million page impressions, is already a huge youth medium in itself. Habbo is a new kind of youth brand rooted on one of the largest teen communities in the world. One of the key success factors of Habbo is user generated content: the fun games and activities our users create for themselves

If you read this carefully I did take it from sulake's website but the point is, they advertize to much and its all false and expensive. Please put comments but no flaming please.

They made it for young people, but older people go on because they have nothing else to do other then using paltalk which would be their age. Also people pay more then a price of a movie ticket and habbo hotel does not provide self-expression, fun and curiosity within a positive community except creativity. When did habbo hotel really get released? 2000 or 2001? They got 200 employees worldwide why not use them for habbo and not sulake? Usability? yeah right..so many maintenance breaks all through each hotel. We can't create fun games and activities for our selves without furni. Thats why you have to "buy" furniture with money.

i think only 10 people actually work for sulake. The rest work for habbo. Thats 190?

Not including mods and hobbas? Plus to younger people habbo is fun, its just lost its potential to you.

And older habbos are usually there for a job or sumat, its a free country, if people are bored they are allowed.

God! Stop being so cynical!!! That's my job!!! I don't see why you lot eally care, just because Habbo base it on teens and young people or whoever doesn't mean they can stop others from going on it. To be a Hobba or MOD, you have to be 18, which is still a teenager, is it not? Most MOD's only do it for the money though, annoyingly.
I don't know why you ahve highlighted "130 million impressions" and "4 million users a month," as I don't see how you could have a problem with that. The same with 16 countries etc...
They do provide us with fun without the need of furniture, sure someone needs the furni, Habbo have comps and things where you can win furni. It does seem strange how they say the average Habbo buys something like £3.00 a month on Habbo, I used to buy that just for HC, there is also the actual furni you may buy.
Everyone lately seems to just complain and complain and complain and complain and complain about Habbo going on and on and on and on and on about them, for gods sake, it won't do anything sitting there complaining all the time!

True it is basically for anyone, but it is based for teens. The Bobba Filter is based for users of 10 or below, not 12 to 20. MODs and Hobba's talk to us like we are ignoratn babies. When I called a MOD once talking about scripting etc they were saying "Oh, scripting isn't bad and people rarely do it" what a baffoon he was. When I said back, but loads do, he gave me a lecture and said ok? and I said "ok but..." and he started ok I am on another call and walked off. Are they seriously being payed to make a twit of themselves?

I guess thats how they are, u can choose to act however u want when your a moderator because they don't know your real age which allows them to choose how they want to treat you. Plus they got powers they can use if anyone puts any flaming at their face. The problem with older people on habbo is that they act like they are 10 year olds that want to date you in real life and then kill u or rape u.
