The future hotel view?
An interesting picture was spotted on a staff member's Twitter earlier today - an early draft of the "Illumina" hotel view design! You can tell it is an early draft due to the template having valentine themed quests and rooms on it (Illumina has been under development for months it seems) yet it is March! Anyway, here is the image of the "Illumina" (draft) hotel view design:

As we can see, Sulake seem determined to keep the theme of quests and community challenges on the hotel view as opposed to having all quests, furniture, updates etc. placed on the general website. It's a big change compared to a few years ago when they decided to increase the amount of information revealed on homepage - but this changeover (again) could have easily been predicted due to the www.habbo.se (http://www.habbo.se) webiste only having basic information on the webpages (for anyone that doesn't know, www.habbo.com (http://www.habbo.com) will eventually get the www.habbo.se (http://www.habbo.se) webpage layout, but it's still being developed).
Another interesting feature about this hotel view layout is the "Habbo of the week" speech bubble placed near the bottom. Could this be chosen by pure chance (similar to the system on www.habbo.com/community (http://www.habbo.com/community) where it places 'Random Habbos') or might it be some kind of new competition/feature for the future? Who knows.

I think the hotel view looks quite good to be honest. I was originally disliking how bad the quests looked on the hotel view, but those up there seem a bit "cleaner" :P. I'm actually also very interested in the "Habbo of the week" thing and curious over how it would work. Anyway, I actually am quite fond of this one - the current we have is a bit.. meh, but this one just catches my eye aha.
