The Grand Apollo Hotel, or simply the Grand Apollo, is a classic alpine resort hotel situated in the Glacei Mountains of Lac Glacei, northeast of Monte Glacei, near the village of St. Sonne, in the canton of Glacei. It is a large hotel built around 1340 AN to serve the growing Lac Glaceian skiing industry.
History
The Grand Apollo was first built in 1623 AN by Apollantean expatriates fleeing the collapse of ARSE to the Siserans. Rumor has it the Andreios family were royals from the original bloodline of Audente Emperors, though this has never been confirmed. In any event, the wealthy family arrived and immediately began construction of what would become known as Chateau du Sol, a palatial estate overlooking the valley of St. Sonne. The chateau would remain in the Andreios family for over a thousand years until the heiress, Elena Andreios, married Grand Duke Etienne, and became Lac Glaceian royalty. After moving the Alpreaux she kept the chateau as a summer home for a few years before eventually deciding to sell it upon the arrival of their first children. It was then that the chateau was bought by friends of Elena - fellow ethnic Apollanteans - who decided to redevelop the property as the Grand Apollo.
In 1700 AN it hosted a planning conference attended by representatives of the Honourable Company that happened to coincide with the presence of a number of senior officials from the Hurmu Constabulary and Hurmu Peace Corps who were in Lac Glacei on a skiing trip following a tour of inspection in Eesdeheito. Having encountered each other quite by chance, the two parties got on famously and many fruitful discussions regarding the situation "back home" were had, interspersed with numerous toasts and questionable attempts at singing along to a electronic music box of Jingdaoese provenance.
