The recent Animal Crossing New Horizons 3.0 update introduces a new gameplay feature in the form of a Resort Hotel managed by Kappn. Players may not immediately spot the hotel upon starting the game as certain progress milestones need to be reached for it to be accessible.
To ensure you can experience Kappn’s hotel in Animal Crossing New Horizons 3.0, begin by confirming that your game is updated to version 3.0.0. Check the top right corner of the main menu screen for the version number. If it displays a different number, exit the game and search for updates on the Nintendo Switch home screen to initiate the download.
Next, you must have Kappn present on your island, requiring you to attain a three-star island rating. Achieving this rating may take some time, especially if you are starting a new island. To boost your island rating, focus on activities like landscaping, placing decorations, and inviting villagers.
Once Kappn arrives on your island, announced by Isabelle in the morning, head to the south pier to locate the Resort Hotel. Enter the hotel to commence the questline. While unlocking Kappn’s hotel is straightforward, it demands a significant time commitment. Returning players should easily find the hotel, but newcomers may need patience before fully enjoying the 3.0 update.
Enjoy decorating your island and exploring the new features!
