The Sinclair Deluxe

"Ol' Pauper's Drop's the worst neighborhood in Rapture -- but it's a hell of an opportunity to raise up some ah, affordable housin'."

- Augustus Sinclair

The Sinclair Deluxe was a hotel run by Augustus Sinclair, providing very affordable housing, although at very poor quality. Subject Delta is required to go here to get the Override Key from Grace Holloway.

History
Following the Rapture Bank Crash, many citizens were left in a very poor financial situation. With very few other options, since the main persons offering of free housing, Sofia Lamb and Frank Fontaine, were either in prison or dead, they had to resort to the cheapest housing offered in Rapture, Sinclair Deluxe, built by Augustus Sinclair for that exact purpose. Some of the people forced to this were Grace Holloway and Gloria Parson. Eventually though, Grace Holloway, with the help of The Rapture Family's Splicers, kicked out Augustus Sinclair, and took control of it herself. By Subject Delta's arrival, the building has taken heavy damage.

The building itself is in 4 stories, although only with rooms on 3 of them. Grace Holloway's room is at the top floor. The centerpiece of the building is a large atrium, with rooms wedging out to the sides of it. The rooms, apart from Grace Holloway's, all look similar, with a bathroom and combined kitchen, living room and sleeping quarters.

Admission
This is where new customers were lodged in. Although they had to deal with Augustus Sinclair in person before renting or buying, a very uncomfortable process according to Gloria Parson, this is where it's ensured that only those who had actually paid got a room. There is a reception, and some storage rooms.

Trivia

 * This is the only known place with a working Fuel Station, needed for breaking the blockage created by a Brute Splicer.
 * In the main lobby, the player can find a Atlantic Express nameplate that says "Line 47 South East Branch". This could possibly mean that the structure was once part of the line before Sinclair annexed it for The Sinclair Deluxe.
