Also, I know for the actual hotel its best to buy light woods such as balsa but any other suggestions will be great.Where to find supplies to build a model hotel?
Your BEST bet is to get model railroad accessories. HO scale (which is 1:87) is very popular, and you can find cars, lighting, scenery, and more.
Though balsa is nice... IF I have to use wood, I prefer bass-wood: almost as light and much stronger. For BUILDING I really like sheet styrene plastic. It's simple to cut with an X-Acto and metal straight edge, you glue it up with plastic-cement, AND it comes in pre-engraved sheets in patterns like brick, concrete block, planking, clapboard, and shingles !! There are ALSO in model-railroad shops, styrene plastic molded window-frames, doors, and other accessories.
IF you don't have to design an ORIGINAL building... I would get a hotel KIT !!
