Highcourt Plaza Hotel

Highcourt Plaza Hotel is a luxury hotel located in central Night City.
==History==
===Early history - 2020s===
Highcourt Plaza was built to be one of the most elegant, expensive and stylish hotels in Night City, with its interior decoration rendered in an understated 1920's Art Deco style.
During the 2010s and early 2020s, this four-star hotel had multitude of luxurious services in its interior, including a rental car and limousine service for guests needing transportation around the city. Hotel security consisted of two armed detectives, eight roving plainclothes security that were rotated every eight hours, and personnel monitoring the building from video display cameras. The guards were equipped with electric stun guns and handheld communications gear, allowing them to handle most common situations in the hotel. However, if things became dangerous they didn't hesitate to call in law enforcement authorities.
===2030s - 2040s===
The Highcourt Plaza Hotel survived the Fourth Corporate War, though after the redrawing of the city districts, the hotel found itself in the border between the Old Japantown and Little China Combat Zones. By the 2040s, this classy and luxurious building was well-defended and still operating, offering discretion and security for the elite. The fact that it was the only luxury hotel still functioning inside a combat zone of Night City was just part of the charm, as it made it harder for others to spy on the residents. Customers usually arrived and departed via an AV-4 that landed on the roof. A notorious fixer by the name of the Gentleman had a suite in the 15th floor.
In 2045, the Highcourt Plaza was so well-kept that a film production taking place in Night City shot some scenes at the hotel. Later that same year, the Gentleman kidnapped Random, a member of The Distortions rock band and in-house group of the Forlorn Hope. A mercenary crew sent to rescue him contacted with the fixer in order to make a deal, as it was well known that the Gentleman was someone that could be reasoned with. Once the mercs got into the fixer's suite, they found out that Random was being dangled off the edge of the balcony. If Random had not been muffled, he would have been screaming. The Gentleman explained to the mercs that Random owned him a large sum of money, however, he was willing to forgive the debt if the crew accepted to do a free gig of his choosing. Whatever happened, Random could either die or survive the encounter depending on the actions chosen by the mercenaries.

Highcourt Plaza Hotel was twenty-eight stories tall, with twin towers of silvered glass and four observation glass elevators rising from the central atrium/lobby. The interior decoration was rendered in an understated 1920's Art Deco style. The hotel's eastern wing included an indoor pool, a health spa, and a beauty and fitness center. On the opposite side, the western wing featured a small convention center, a travel bureau and a three-star French restaurant called Le Fontainebleau. Additionally, the western wing's rooftop was specially equipped with a landing pad capable of handling the heaviest corporate helicopters or tilt-winged business aircrafts. Valet parking was provided by the hotel in their two levels of underground parking.
The 3rd through 24th floors consisted of double occupancy rooms with bathrooms. The 25th through 27th floors had sixteen luxury suites complete with kitchen, full bathrooms, and interfacing capacity. The 28th floor consisted of two huge penthouse apartments reserved for visiting heads of state, captains of industry, and millionaire rockerboys and their entourages.
===2045===
During the 2040s, the armored Highcourt Plaza Hotel gleamed like a diamond in the rough surroundings of the Old Japantown combat zone. The art deco-style building still hosted many of its wealthy privileges: indoor pools, a spa, a functioning and exquisite French restaurant, and luxurious suites serving as a home for the famous and infamous that visited Night City. The lobby was protected by four turrets, and housed the elevators and staircases that connected to the rest of floors and the rooftops.
The 15th floor of western tower housed the suite of the Gentleman, while the rooftop housed an AV landing pad and a fire escape chute box that, when activated, it deployed a long tube which could be used to safely reach the street.
==Notes==
*Highcourt Plaza shares many similarities with Konpeki Plaza, as both are luxurious hotels covered in glass, with a shared atrium, and two twin towers housing penthouses and AV landing pads.
