    A more realistic WoW theme is to simply add a decent PC in every room with WoW installed - That's it

    Why would Blizzard throw thousands of dollars at an investment with little to no return

    First thing I thought. Maybe if you got plenty of money left to spend ;p you can do this more for your self but if you really want to make a profit this is very risky. Thinking about it is fun though .

    It would work if they made a World of Warcraft funpark or something. But then a WoW hotel is obvious.

    We have quite a few themed hotels/inns/bed & breakfasts around this way that do pretty good for themselves.

    Even if people aren't familiar with WarCraft, a lot of people are familiar with Elves, Orcs, Dwarves and the like so it isn't a bad idea. I would stay there!

    Then just do a fantasy theme near a LARP camp

    Yes I can't argue with that lol ...but you know, I was deep into this idea, and I was already enjoying the restaurant part when my boss woke me up
    So I said, why not creating this hotel in my mind, cost = 0 $ , but risk of being dismissed from work, so better quit Warcraft Inn!

    This is one of the problems, if any Warcraft player "was ever in the area" they would likely jump at the opportunity to stay at a place like this, however the hard part is convincing people to specifically travel to experience it.

    The hotel could work with the right business plan. Instead of a dedicated WoW hotel, create a base Fantasy hotel that pulls design ideas from across several MMO’s that share similarities such as Everquest, Skryim, Conan, Diablo and Dungeon & Dragons. You will attract the LARPer’s, the board game role players, TCGer’s, Comic fans, and the MMO online crowd.

    Throughout the year you can schedule weekends specifically dedicated to each fan base and decoration accordingly. For the WoW weekends you can add the faction banners, have staff dress in appropriate costumes, change the menu names to the cooking achievements, have merchandise available for sale, and plan a multi-tier schedule of tournaments (both video and TCG).

    The must haves for your hotel:
    Massively powerful WiFi
    Computers with MMO games preload
    On-site gaming/hobby store that host weekend tournaments for the TCG crowd
    Large screen monitors or TVs for customers to plug in laptops
    Large conference center for hosting conventions
    Good quality restaurant with broad menu and serving alcohol 
    Location, Location, Location. You need to be in a city that hosts one or more major anime, comic, or gaming conventions a year. Being near other tourist destinations would also be helpful.

    The initial capital outlay will be double that of most hotels, but if you manage it right, you could turn a profit and have fun doing so.
