Last week, the Carlsbad, Calif., Legoland resort unveiled its own Legoland Hotel -- a three-story, 250-room lodging likely to be nirvana for any devout Lego fan.
Located next to the massive resort, Legoland's hotel offers visitors three different room themes -- pirate, adventure, or kingdom -- that play off the associated Lego product line. Other amenities include specially themed restaurants, interactive play areas, and many other effects with Lego accents.
In total, the hotel contains 3,422 Lego models created out of 3 million Lego bricks. Take a virtual tour of the Legoland Hotel in our gallery of images courtesy of Legoland California and My Modern Met's Alice Yoo.
Upon entering the lobby, visitors will notice the massive mosaic of 6,000 Lego minifigures located behind the reception desk. Nearby, a giant Lego surfer rides a California cruiser.
Several young visitors pose with a larger-than-life Lego knight positioned near the lobby, while an impressive dragon made of thousands of bricks looms nearby.
This collection of Hollywood actors' autographs mimics the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. Some of the signatures seen here include those of Cate Blanchett, Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Calista Flockhart, and Jon Favreau.
An enormous castle and halved pirate ship provide a perfect place for kids (or adventuresome adults) to play. A pirate flag raises upon turning the captain's wheel, and a loud cannon blast sounds when the flag reaches the top.
Here are some of the many massive Lego chefs located in Bricks Family Restaurant. It appears they've run into a major problem while trying to make some sweets.
The premium adventure room contains several elements -- such as themed wallpaper and large jungle animal Lego creatures -- that will tickle fans of the safari series. Each room contains a treasure chest that visitors can unlock by following a series of clues hidden nearby.
Arr! If a pirate's life is for you, then this room may satisfy with shiplike wallpaper, myriad skulls and crossbones, and bedding based on the classic Lego pirate flag design.
A giant Lego maitre d' awaits your arrival at the Skyline Cafe, which features a massive visual with 35 different scenes for kids to gawk at while chomping down on their food.
At the Legoland Hotel, there's no shortage of amusing Lego figures, including this chef who seems to have lost control of some overflowing ice cream. It's probably best to steer clear of this brick-filled treat.
