Iscaa and I have been brainstorming about a nice hotel the Knights could relocate to ...
Elaborated thoughts:
1. find the hotel, see if it is inhabited, if yes (probably some guests survived, some staff, or others found refuge there already. We will make it a very small group though, ten, or twelve?), form an alliance (bribe them with our food, med supplies, Cramer's farming abilities, the produce on his farm, whatever), secure it.
2. The 'discoverers' stay there, and 'phone home' for a group to make it zombie proof.
3. Organize the big move.
4. organize some big ass machines to build walls around it.
Now that hotel, designed way back for the upper-ten, has a fence around the perimeter of the park and lawns that surround it.
We will build an earth wall with a metal kern (cars) about forty meters outward from the fence, star shaped: first defense ring.
The fence, with a moat (the earth from the moat will be used for the earth wall) in front of it, drawbridges behind the entrances (main, and delivery): second defense ring.
A wall (again with a metal kern, star shaped), around the hotel itself, with a round moat in front of it: main defense ring. This wall and the moat will be the first that will be build.
Before that though, all ground level (high in the souterain) windows will be barricaded.
I am thinking of a really old hotel, with a souterain where the kitchen, the swimming-pool, sauna and all other facilities like laundry room, offices, staff dining room etc. are located. A cellar (wine, food, storage) under the souterain.
Restaurant/café, dining room, ballroom, lobby, reception, bar and restrooms on the first floor, about a meter and a half above ground level; main entrance has stairs, as have the terraces in front of the dining room and the ballroom (under these are the kitchen, the staff dining room, small apartments for kitchen chef, manager, head of housekeeping, maybe four or five, now either used for staff or as offices...)
Second, third, fourth and fifth floor are guest rooms and suites.
Attic: forty bedrooms (shared by at least two (higher) staff members the normal staff members shared with two or three others in the old days) some bath and rest rooms and a sitting room for staff.
Roof: just a roof because it is not flat. A small widow's-walk all around the roof would be nice though ...
Thirty guest-rooms on the second, third and fourth floor each; ten two room and four three-room suites on the fifth floor.
Normal guest rooms: all furnished with a kingsize bed, two bed-tables, a desk, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, two loyd-chairs, a small coffee table or club-table, a fridge stocked with water, cola, seven-up, tonic, white wine; a cupboard with red whine, cognac, whisky and whiskey, glasses; a TV, a radio, some shelves and a full length mirror.
Bathroom: bath, shower, toilet, bidet, lavatory with mirror, two bathrobes, two sets of slippers, two big bath towels, two smaller ones, and two towels, wash clothes, basket with shampoo, shower lotion, body lotion, toothpaste, sewing kit and shoe polish (black, brown and colorless), a hairdryer.
A balcony with two lawn chairs and a table.
Suites: one (or two) bedroom(s) and bathroom as above (minus the fridge) plus: a small hall with an extra wardrobe, doors to bath, bed and sitting room. Sitting room: Sofa, two loyd-chairs, coffee table, commode, TV, radio, round dining table with four chairs, counter with coffee machine and electric kettle, cupboard as above plus several kinds of coffee and tea, sugar, cups and saucers; fridge, stocked as above plus coffee-cream.
Balcony: as above plus two chaise-longues.
Around the hotel: Park, lawns with flowerbeds, tennis court, swimming-pool.
Did I miss something? A fitness-room maybe?
They could have used some of the old staff rooms for that. Lets say they put it in the attic and used six of the staff rooms for it?
The cellar, souterain and first floor are build 'full' starting with the second floor the floors are build around a very big air shaft which allows all the rooms to have windows which either look out over the park, or down on a zen garden with a glass dome in the middle at the bottom of the air shaft which would be the roof of the restaurant/café since it is situated in the middle with no outside walls.
Corridors on the second, third, fourth and fifth floor have niches with windows to the air shaft, two in each wing, each with a small bookcase, four lounge chairs, a club table, or a small sofa, one lounge chair, club table and a bookcase.
The rooms on the air shaft side are a bit smaller, much more rectangular than those on the outside, but still as luxurious though.
Opinions?
