Hotel Pistis Sophia

Hotel Pistis Sophia is located in West Wind Estate, in the Pacifica district of southern Night City.

Overview

By the 2070s, the Pistis Sophia was one of the oldest surviving buildings in all of Night City, having been built sometime in the city's early years, before the Second Central American War of 2003. The hotel endured decades of tumultuous events, including the Night City Holocaust of 2023, the reconstruction of the city during the Time of the Red, and the economic damage caused to Pacifica by the Unification War between 2069 and 2070. By 2077, the Pistis Sophia still stood, but was no longer a functional establishment. It had become a decaying derelict building occupied by gangers and squatters, with some of the rooms having been left empty for years. That the building was still standing in 2077 was more luck than a testament of its construction.

When Robert John Linder deserted from the US Army in 2003 he returned to Night City, renting a room at the Pistis Sophia. He spent several weeks contemplating his life and the corruption in the world. After leaving the hotel, he became Johnny Silverhand, the rockerboy who started the band Samurai, and tried to rebel against the corporations through music.

The merc V awoke in the Pistis Sophia in 2077, after being guided there by Silverhand's engram following a Relic malfunction. The rockerboy showed V where he had hidden his army friend's dogtags decades ago, and had V take them as a token of his promise to do right by them.
