Where to Stay Altador

Altador – We’re less than a month away from the opening day of the Altador Cup. It’s a beautiful day here in the city of Altador, and the city has shaken off its winter slumber in preparations of the tournament. City squares have started filling up with friend and foe alike, and boatloads of fans have begun arriving at the city’s ports. If you’ve haven’t booked a hotel room already, be forewarned: rooms are selling out faster than the tickets to the games. By opening day, officials predict there will not be a single bed left in our outside Altador. To help those out who have procrastinated, we at the Altador Times Union have compiled a list of the top six hotels in the city with room to spare. If your team loses, why not lose in luxury? Let the games begin!
