Ocean View Hotel

The Ocean View Hotel is a named Vice City building in Grand Theft Auto VI, its signage spotted in Trailer 2 (IGN's breakdown around 7:57) beside the Ocean Beach strip. The name is a direct callback to the original 1986-set Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002), where the Ocean View Hotel served as Tommy Vercetti's first safehouse — making it one of the clearest series Easter eggs in the trailer. The hotel sits in the Art Deco Ocean Beach district, Vice City's South Beach analogue. Rockstar has confirmed the building by name via on-screen signage but has not stated whether its interior is explorable, whether it functions as a safehouse or mission location, or how it connects to Jason and Lucia's story. Given the nostalgic weight of the name, it is a strong candidate for a returning landmark, though any gameplay role remains unconfirmed.
