A large luxury hotel built smack dab in the middle of the plaza. Still not sure what to make of it yet, as it could either be a swanky deluxe dormitory, a luxury lounge, a rabbit hole of some sort, or even a resort (where does the large pool go, though?). It's based on a combination of buildings (real world hotels at the Las Casas Filipinas resort and living history museum), one a combination of hotels styled after a historic accesoria and the reconstructed Hotel de Oriente, which used to stand in what is now Plaza San Lorenzo in Binondo.

One of my tentative names for it is the Hotel McCarric, indicative of the owners of the hotel and a deliberate shout-out to @danjaley's McCarric Scenes. I floated up the possibility of having that family in the save a while back. The McCarric family I've planned for this save was one of those merchants who made it big here and decided to invest on a large venture in the walled city. They're likely very distant relatives or descendants of those McCarrics, having made their fortune as traders in hemp rope and sugar.

Historically, this is actually very plausible, as the British had a sizeable presence in Philippine cities as entrepreneurs.

Anyway, about that arch. Should I keep it in place or reconstruct it in front of Fort St. Simeon instead?
