Atari Grants Licensing Rights to Build Atari Hotels in the U.S.

Atari signed a licensing agreement with U.S. real estate developer True North Studio and GSD Group as part of deal to open eight branded hotels. Atari will be get 5% of the hotels’ revenue and received a $600,000 non-refundable advance.

True North Studio is a truly innovative specialist in commercial real estate development, active in Arizona. The Group is deploying its “TNS lifestyle” concept, allying design and food & beverage offers with the latest trends in hospitality, by offering dynamic and immersive experiences.

The Atari hotels will feature common areas following the latest trends in hospitality, with a focus on the video game universe and the Atari brand. They will include a state of the art eSport studio, an Atari gaming playground, meeting and event rooms, co-working spaces, restaurants, bars, a bakery, a movie theatre and a gym. They are targeted at family or business travelers, providing a luxurious, relaxed and one-of-a-kind experience.

The first hotel is planned to break ground in 2020 in Phoenix, close to the first “Woz U” university campus, created in 2017 in Phoenix, AZ by Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple. The other cities are Austin, TX, Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Las Vegas, NV, San Francisco, CA, San Jose, CA, and Seattle, WA.
