The 2022 Modular is 10297 Boutique Hotel

It’s that time of the year where we get to find out what the new modular is going to be. 2022 marks 15 years of modular buildings and the set to mark the occasion is 10297 Boutique Hotel.

I only just got the press release for this one so this is going to be my very first impressions of the set.

The overall style of the building feels very Miami or even Cuban inspired to me. It will certainly stand out in your modular street.

The ground floor features the hotel lobby and an art gallery.

The terrace features more of the art gallery and a really interesting palm tree.

The first floor features hotel rooms while the second floor has a penthouse suite.

I quite like this but the price is a bit scary – The set has an Australian RRP of $319.99 for 3066 pieces. You’ll be able to grab yours from January 1st 2022.

Check out the press release and additional images below.

The LEGO Group Celebrates 15 years of Modular Building with the new LEGO® Boutique Hotel Set

6th December 2021: Today, the LEGO Group reveals a luxurious new address with the LEGO® Boutique Hotel set (10297), the latest addition to the modular building collection.  Colourful and quirky, the new 3,066 piece LEGO Boutique Hotel is full of character and details that will have fans stepping back in time to a by-gone era.

In 2022, the LEGO modular building collection celebrates its 15th anniversary and the new set is the 17th LEGO set to be released, joining the LEGO Bookshop, LEGO Assembly Square and LEGO Police Station.  The LEGO Boutique Hotel is also full of Easter Eggs and references to the previous 15 years of modular building sets, many of which are revealed in the building instructions, meaning fans will have an exciting time discovering hidden gems while they build.

The set comes in five sections, including;

  • The ground floor, featuring the lobby and an art gallery;
  • The terrace, with art gallery reception and palm tree;
  • The first floor, with hotel rooms;
  • The second floor, with a penthouse suite;
  • The roof, with a decorative dome

Each hotel room features distinct styles of furniture and requires varied building techniques, whilst the art gallery features several tributes to Cubist art. The set also features a unique angled shape, which requires some unusual LEGO geometry, providing a new modular building experience for collectors.

Anderson Grubb, LEGO Set Designer commented, “It was really exciting to be working on the LEGO Boutique Hotel and to have the opportunity to design this in celebration of 15 years of the collection. When we approach the design for a modular building we are conscious of the previous sets and therefore want to create something that is new, that really compliments the collection. I am really happy with the final design, the variety of intriguing building techniques and all the nods to the previous Modular buildings.”

    Definitely a must-have, but hopefully not at that price ?

    Outstanding. My only slight reservation is the height; it looks a little short. I will be interested in seeing it next to the Assembly Square, for example to see how it compares in scale.
