SETTING INFORMATION
Structure Name: Coruscant Hotel and Casino
Classification: Resort/Casino
Location: Canto Bight
Affiliation: The Exchange | Corporate Sector Authority | The Sith Empire
Accessibility: Public - Located in the center of downtown Canto Bight, the Coruscant Hotel is conveniently accessible to the nearby city spaceport. Open round the clock throughout the Cantonica year, the public areas of the establishment are open to everyone.
DESCRIPTION
A towering cloudscraper along the Canto Bight skyline, although not located along the famed coast over the centuries the Coruscant Hotel has built up a reputation as a high class establishment catering to the opulently wealthy. Second in stature only to the renowned Canto Casino, where Canto draws its crowds through the sheer variety of attractions, the Coruscant plies its trade through a mixture of reserved glamour and nostalgia for simpler, better times.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Galactic City Casino: The largest section of the resort, Galactic City contains the casino pits as well as the other more mundane gambling varieties the establishment has on offer. Thousands of slot machines, hundreds of tables, a seemingly endless parade of live matches to bet on, statistics on everything from shockboxing to podracing scrolling underneath and alongside in multiple trade languages.
The Undercity: Mostly composed of the casino cages, a highly secured, restricted area where chips are exchanged and credits were counted by teller droids. Beyond the cages lies the casino Vault, a heavily fortified miniature fortress with redundant layers of antitamper security and capable of withstanding up to a baradium blast. The Undercity also contains much of the resort's main infrastructure. Generators, server rooms, staff locker and break rooms, everything necessary to run such a vast establishment behind the scenes. There are deeper parts of this section where some of the more violent and immoral acts are committed by the management.
The Great Rotunda: A fifty thousand seat arena, the Great Rotunda hosts the casino's live stage events. Theater, music acts, even sporting events. But the most popular attraction by far is the fighting pits, of which the casino boasts several. While not always to the death, there is a fight going on at practically every hour of the day.
The Coruscant Hotel: With more than three thousand spacious sound proofed rooms, the Coruscant Hotel is one of the most lavish hotels in all of Canto Bight. Filled with amenities like pools and spas as well as several restaurants. Turbolifts provide convenient access to both the hotel lobby and, more importantly, the casino floor beyond.
The Skyhook Cantina: A dance hall, cantina, and night club all in one. The Skyhook is suspended far above the surface via carbonite nanofibers. Great expense and care was taken to artificially produce an exterior garden environment surrounding the establishment proper, with a small landing pad for shuttle access from the lobby below. The Skyhook also serves as a nexus for the casino's booming illicit drug trade.
Executive Offices: Located on several of the top floors via restricted access turbolifts, these workspaces are where much of the upper management oversees the day to day operation of the casino, as well as the business' various side interests.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
For as long as anyone can remember, the Coruscant Hotel has dominated the Canto Bight skyline. A trusted name in luxury, although the establishment has gone through many changes in management over the centuries it has only solidified its reputation as a world class establishment on a planet legendary for its resort economy.
For just as long, the hotel proprietors have maintained a certain 'understanding' with the Corporate Sector Authority. For so long as the resort continues to pay certain property taxes it maintains a healthy working relationship with the Canto Bight Police who regularly patrol the city's downtown.
Recently word has spread of a group of foreign investors which acquired the Hotel in a surprise bid. While the new management has yet to make any radical changes to the resort's layout or decor, lately the Coruscant has become known for catering to a 'certain type' of high class. The kind that don't like to maintain a public record of their business dealings.
