It introduces [[Mr. Oshiro]], a ghost who manages the hotel and attemptstries to convinceconvincing Madeline to stay.

After traversing a few rooms, Madeline tells him that the hotel is in pretty rough shape. Soon after, Madeline finds herself in a messy room full of clothes, books, and crates. Upon finding Oshiro, he starts getting worried, realizing the hotel is a huge mess. After realizing he can't clean the whole hotelresort alone, he gives up, but Madeline offers to helphelps him. When Madeline starts cleaning, Oshiro thinks it's the power of positive thinking; however, Madeline tells him that it was actually her who cleaned some of the clutter. Eventually, Madeline can find a paper hidden under a pile of clothes, informing the hotel staff that the Celestial Resort is closing; this explains part of why the hotel is in such shape. She can also find [[Theo]] crawling through the vents in order to leaveescape the hotel, telling her to stop helping Oshiro; this fails to work, and Madeline continues to clean the hotelcleaning. If Madeline has never seen or never talked to Theo before, she will introduce herself first; if she has ignored him despite having seen him in either {{ch|1|lf=1}} or {{ch|2|lf=1}}, she will additionally apologize for being antisocial.

Madeline attempts to calm down Oshiro, who soon enough ends up snapping and lashing out at her. Badeline tries to convince Maddy that she shouldn't be helping the creepy weirdo that Oshiro is.

Celestial Resort's '''A-Side''' is the first "indoors" chapter in ''Celeste'', and marks a notably increased level of difficulty compared to {{ch|1|lf=1}} and {{ch|2|lf=1}}. It introduces several new mechanics to the game, most notably keys and locks, as well as omnipresent [[dust bunnies]]. The chapter is also much longer than Old Site.
==== Start ====
The chapter begins outside the resort. It features static and moving [[Dust Bunnies|dust bunnies]]. Madeline needs to collect a key in order to access the resort. More locks, which need to be unlocked, are present throughout the chapter.
After making it to the hotel, Madeline needs to interact with the bell, which triggerstriggering a cutscene and unlocksunlocking the path forward.
Madeline then needs to navigate some more through the clutter- and sludge-filled hotel.
This subchapter contains 11 Red [[strawberries]].
==== Huge Mess ====
The second subchapter has three paths that can be taken in any order. At the end of each path is a [[Clutter switch|treasure box inside of a clear bubble]], which, when dashed into, removes certain clutter from all rooms in the hotel. This makes taking subsequent paths slightly harder, but also makeseases navigating the main room easier. The top path removes the books, the middle pathone removes the clothes, and the bottom pathone removes the crates.
The availibleavailable paths are initially locked,. Madeline needs to interact with Mr. Oshiro in order to unlock them. This interaction needs to be repeated for every path.
[[Theo]], who tries to escape from the hotel via the vent, can be found in the middle path. The interaction with him is '''mandatory''' this time.
After all clutter is cleaned up, Madeline can access a key that opens the door to the elevator shaft.
This subchapter contains the chapter's [[Crystal Heart|crystal heart]] and 7 strawberries.
==== Elevator Shaft ====
The subchapter begins with a vertical elevator shaft. Madeline must use wallbounces to climb it, while also having to avoidavoiding dust bunnies that move up and down throughalong the shaftpath.
After a few more rooms, Mr. Oshiro can be found. He spews dust bunnies over the path, which block Madeline's path forward, forcing her to take a detour below. However, it is possible to [[demodash]] through this barrier.
A [[Cassette]] and 4 strawberries can also be found in this subchapter.
==== Presidential Suite ====
The Presidential Suite subchapter starts with a cutscene, after which Madeline needs to climb on the roof. There, Oshiro starts attacking Madeline, forcing her to avoid him; you can jump on him to gain height and refill a dash. The subchapter takes part primarily outdoors and features Dust Bunnies as well.
3 Red strawberries can be located in this subchapter.
=== B-Side ===
=== C-Side ===
Celestial Resort's C-Side contains three rooms. The first one is a short chamber with fast vertically-moving dust bunnies that need to be avoided. The second requires walljumps to complete, and the third long room reintroduces Oshiro as a boss. It is required to jump on him later in the room.
== Strawberries & Collectibles ==
{{Main|Celestial Resort/Collectibles|l1=Celestial Resort Collectibles}}
Celestial Resort contains 25 unique red strawberries hidden throughout the chapter. This includes two winged strawberries, and no seeded berries are present. Additionally, a [[Cassette Tape]] and a Blue [[Crystal Heart]] are hidden within.
== Speedrun strategies ==
=== Faster Key Grab ===
Instead of taking the normalstandard route to grab the key inat the beginning of the chapter, speedrunners take advantage of the fact that screen transitions refillrefilling yourthe dash to grab the key by simply dashing through the screen transition multiple times. This is also how you obtain the [[Old Site]] [[Crystal Heart]] in {{ch|2|lf=1}} and the second strawberry in this chapter.
=== Elevator Shaft demodash ===
Following the cutscene where Oshiro starts spewing out [[dust bunnies]], it is possible to perform a [[demodash]] in order to skip having to take a detour via below. This is commonly used in any% speedruns, since it can save approximately twelve seconds over the intended method.
== Celeste Classic ==
{{Main|Celeste Classic}}
A computer hidden in the "Huge Mess" subchapter of Chapter 3 contains the [[Celeste Classic|PICO-8 version of Celeste]], originally released in 2016. Interacting with the PICO-8 will unlock the option to play the PICO-8 straight from the menu.
