Remark 2.4.6.18. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\bullet }$ be a simplicial category. Then the homotopy category of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\bullet }$ can be identified with the coarse homotopy category of the homotopy bicategory $\operatorname {h}_{2} \mathit{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}$ of Construction 2.4.6.16, in the sense of Construction 2.2.8.2. That is, we have a canonical isomorphism $\operatorname {h}\! \mathit{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \simeq \operatorname {h}\! \mathit{( \operatorname {h}_{2} \mathit{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} )}$.
