In the early 21st century, the Advocet was marketed as a luxury destination, and with good reason. The notorious three-star hotel had above average amenities, including terminals in each room, as well as a gym, spa, casino, shopping arcade, nightclub/lounge, and AV landing pads on the roof. The owners at the time felt their customers, mostly businessmen, would spend copious amounts of money inside the establishment to steadily increase profits. If customers wanted extralegal activities such as drugs, illegal braindances or similar, the hotel concierge arranged these as "services" only offered to in-house guests. As such, the NCPD's attention was usually focused elsewhere. This would ultimately result in rich, questionable patrons renting the upper penthouse suites. Rockers were a common sight here.
By 2077, the hotel itself was a derelict husk covered in Valentino gang markings and was heavily neglected, though one of the elevators was still functional. By accessing the Advocet's lobby, the elevator could be taken up to the 42nd floor, the hotel's terrace.[2]
After taking the elevator to the terrace in Cyberpunk 2077, it will begin to rain and one can find an NPC labelled "Unknown" holding a bird. This is an homage to the character Roy Batty portrayed by Rutger Hauer in the 1982 science fiction film Blade Runner by Ridley Scott. Close to the NPC is a neon sign that reads: "Like Tears," a reference to Roy Batty's notorious monologue in the movie.
