Located in [[Vice Point]], [[Vice City Beach|Vice Beach]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. The hotel's name differs between the original PlayStation 2 version and the PC version, with the PS2 version being known as Vice Point Langer, while the PC version has been renamed as the WK Chariot Hotel, the WK Chariot name being an obvious spoof of [[wp:Marriott International|JW Marriot]]'s, also a hotel and lodging company. The hotel received a third renaming when it is once again featured in GTA Vice City Stories, where it is known as Van Khoff on the Beach. | |||
Due to the differences in name, the WK Chariot brand may or may not imply it is a hotel chain, as another smaller hotel in [[Ocean Beach]], also in Vice Beach, bears the "WK Chariot" name in both versions of GTA Vice City. | |||
