Harbor View Hotel

"Let's head back to the rooftops."

- Francis

The Harbor View Hotel is the setting for the ending of the first and beginning of the second chapter of the Dead Air campaign in Left 4 Dead.

History
This hotel is a downtown, 10-story (33 m) building in Newburg, Pennsylvania targeting guests such as tourists and many business travelers wanting a four-star hotel accommodation. It provides each guest with in-room necessities and room service as well as possible meals that are prepared in the kitchen, which is located near the hotel's own loading dock at the back of the building.

Current Status
When the Infection made its way to Newburg, Metro International Airport was the first to be put under quarantine to stop the spread of the infection.

In common with other locations, the Harbor View was hastily set up as an impromptu refuge with barricaded corridors and a safe room. However, it is evident that the Infection had already caught hold and these measures were ineffective. Whatever plans CEDA had to contain the epidemic were quickly overtaken by the speed and scale of the disaster; the military took over and abandoned any previous ideas of protecting Newburg. The Harbor View Hotel thus became merely an empty symbol of earlier forlorn hopes in a now Infected overrun urban landscape.

The hotel safe room is located in the hotel kitchen and is accessed via the lobby. Exit is through the rear service area and loading dock, which gives access to the hotel fire escape and thus to the rooftops once again.
