"TBH a lot of hotels look similar, and they likely went out to take pictures; resemblances may be unintentional, but easy to do."

Not in that case. The game takes place in a amsterdam and they intentionally tried to make it as realistic as possible(just changing names). And in that map, you play inside that particular hotel and then part of the hotel gets destroyed.

So it is not really coincidence.

But is it worth doing a legal battle over it? I don't think so, but the hotel owners surely got attention.

I've always wondered why it is companies can sue game developers for using their buildings, but not Google or Microsoft.

I'm certain that same building is in Google Maps. And it might be in Flight Simulator, give that it's built from satellite images.
