Hazbin Hotel (location)

"♫ But if I open the door and I give them a place at my Hazbin Hotel, it'll be a happy day in Hell! ♫"

- Charlie Morningstar, singing Happy Day in Hell

The Hazbin Hotel, formerly known as the Happy Hotel, is a rundown hotel run by Charlie Morningstar that is meant for clients who are undergoing rehabilitation to stay at.

It is located in Pentagram City within the Pride Ring of Hell.

Description
The mission statement of the hotel is to see sinners check in and the staff attempt to redeem them, sending them to Heaven via rehabilitation. Thereby curbing Hell's overpopulation crisis and the ongoing yearly exterminations.

The hotel suffers ongoing mockery and criticism from most of Hell's denizens, most notably the 666 News anchor Katie Killjoy, who deems the idea of reforming demons laughable.

The building's exterior and interior suffer from being in a state of extreme disrepair and untidiness.

History
The Hazbin Hotel was previously owned by the royal family before being abandoned for unknown reasons.

The hotel formerly may have served as a mansion of sorts while it was owned and inhabited by the family prior to its transformation into a hotel, as suggested by the prevalence of pictures of Charlie, family and friends of the family on the walls of the establishment.

At some point prior to the events of the prequel comic and pilot, Charlie assumed ownership of the structure and began to repurpose it towards being a hotel aimed at redeeming sinners.

Charlie was subsequently successful in enticing a single sinner, Angel Dust, to inhabit the hotel as its first client, albeit being done under financial incentive.

Following a disastrous interview with 666 News during the pilot, Alastor, an Overlord, approached the hotel and offered his services as a business partner to promote the hotel, though only with the intention of watching sinners try and fail to redeem themselves. Charlie accepts this offer, as she welcomes any and all the help she could get.

Alastor subsequently altered the name of the hotel from the "Happy Hotel" to the "Hazbin Hotel".

Exterior
The Hazbin Hotel exterior is a tall, elaborate amalgamation of arched windows and turrets, one of which seems to be broken.

It appears to be at least seven stories tall, with at least five of which being guest floors. Remnants of an airship, an ocean liner, a sailing ship and a carousel litter both sides and appear to have been incorporated into the structure of the building itself; there is also a train with some tracks looping the first and second floor exterior. Located on the top right of the building is a small radio broadcasting room, used presumably as the work area and living space for Alastor.

Many signs are displayed outside the hotel: One atop the entrance reminiscent of the Hazbin Hotel logo, a large pink one atop the building with the hotel's name in lights, a neon 'HOTEL' sign at the bottom right and atop the building where Alastor's broadcast room is located, a small 'On-Air' sign is visible. Also located on the outer facade are various arrows pointing to the entrance and the broadcast room.

The entrance has a tented cover with a booth in the center reminiscent of a circus or theater ticket booth. On either side of the booth are a set of double doors that have stained glass; in the pilot, they depicted an apple on each one but were destroyed by an explosion due to Sir Pentious blowing up the doors with his airship.

Interior
The hotel's interior is shown to be in a state of disrepair, with wooden boards covering shattered windows, signs warning of asbestos, bloodied tools left lying around, and paintings are shown hanging off the walls. Much of the furniture in the lobby are strewn around haphazardly or remain boxed up in several large wooden crates.

The Caviar Bar uses skeletons, snakes, and bones as general themes, along with card suits and candles, and advertises itself as a casino.

Though the sign is cut off in the shot, the word 'concierge' can be presumed to be shown above the bar, and Alastor calls it the front desk when talking to Husk, suggesting that it is also the check-in counter.

Despite the shabby and poor condition of the hotel, the overall theme of the building remains ornate and regal, with stained glass windows, lavish furniture, and generous usage of gold. Like the rest of Hell, the hotel has a largely red color scheme. There are many apple, snake and circus motifs throughout the hotel's interior, in reference to the royal family, or more specifically, Lucifer Morningstar. Eyes are also a recurring theme throughout the building, appearing on the frame of almost every single painting and several vases and jars.

At the end of the pilot, the sign name is changed from the "Happy Hotel" to "Hazbin Hotel" by Alastor.

Trivia

 * During the scene while Niffty is cleaning the hotel, a clock similar to the "Conditional Immortality" clock from the webcomic, Homestuck, is shown.
 * The prototype exterior of the hotel bears a striking resemblance to the located in the  theme park resort in Urayasu, Japan.
 * By extension, the style of architecture used for the hotel's facade is known as while the roofing style is known as, which carried over in more articulation to the working design of the hotel.
 * On December 21, 2021, the official Hazbin Hotel Twitter updated its banner with a new image of the Happy Hotel; it is unknown if the changes made to the exterior are reflective of the events in the pilot or not.
 * According to Sam Miller, the carpets of the hotel seen in the ADDICT music video have a pattern based on vintage circus tickets.
