LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel Hits All-Time Low, Marked as Amazon's #1 Best-Seller and Already Selling Fast
'Boutique' and 'luxury' might not be words you normally associate with LEGO, but in this case they're very well deployed. The LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is a stunningly detailed and beautiful 3,000+ piece kit for adult builders 18 and up, and Amazon's 24% off deal makes it a great $174 addition to any display area in your home.
Think of an old-fashioned Victorian dollhouse, crafted with tons of fine details and hidden little conversation pieces, and you'll get a good idea of what this LEGO kit is all about, except it's far easier to build than those dollhouses. (Not that it's easy by any means — it's 3,066 pieces that most definitely require an adult builder.) The LEGO Boutique Hotel is a tribute to late-19th and early-20th century European architecture, released as part of the 15th anniversary celebration of the LEGO Modular Buildings line.

This gorgeous set is filled with nods and tributes to LEGO Modular Building kits from the past 15 years. If you're a longtime LEGO fanatic you'll be able to spot many of them, but even unfamiliar builders can enjoy looking up these older kits and finding out where the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel cleverly hides their references. (Spoiler: The typewriter in the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is from the Police Station kit.)
More than just a self-reverential exercise, the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is a stunning piece of architecture in block form. There are five sections overall, with exquisitely detailed construction, including the unique geometric shapes and architectural quirks of the era. The roof's decorative dome and skylight are a beautiful topper, and the art gallery and terrace are fun touches. Seven minifigures are include, including a porter, receptionist, and coffee vendor.
The LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel recreates the opulent hotels of Europe's Gilded Age, and it will provide a challenging yet fun hours-long activity, and once completed, a beautiful conversation piece you can proudly display in your home. When completed it's 13 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and 10 inches deep — small enough to comfortably occupy a prominent place in your home yet large enough for curious visitors to see all of the cool details.
The LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is #1 Amazon bestseller, with over 10,000 sold in just the past month. Nearly 500 Amazon reviewers give it a hefty 4.8-star average review. This 24% off sale brings the price of the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel down from $230 to just $174, making it a perfect birthday or holiday gift for a crafter or fan of fine art and architecture.
