Hotels in Movies

Ever watched a movie and dreamed of checking into the glamorous hotel on screen? Whether it’s the setting for a whirlwind romance, a mysterious thriller, or a laugh-out-loud comedy, hotels in films often become characters themselves. The good news? Many of them are real — and you can book a stay and relive the cinematic magic. Here are some of the most iconic hotels featured in movies that you can actually visit.

1. The Plaza Hotel – New York City

Featured in: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Eloise at the Plaza, The Great Gatsby

There’s no hotel more famously tied to film than The Plaza. From Kevin McCallister's hijinks in Home Alone 2 to the opulent parties of Gatsby, this New York icon screams luxury. Want to live like Kevin? You can even book the "Home Alone 2" experience!

2. Park Hyatt Tokyo – Japan

Featured in: Lost in Translation

This stunning hotel set high above the Shinjuku skyline is where Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray formed their quiet bond in Lost in Translation. With its serene atmosphere and sweeping city views, it’s as cinematic in person as it is on screen.

3. Caesars Palace – Las Vegas

Featured in: The Hangover

If you're ready for an adventure (hopefully less chaotic), this is the place. The Hangover made Caesars Palace a movie legend. With Roman-inspired decor, endless nightlife, and its famous rooftop, you’ll feel like part of the Wolf Pack.

4. The Timberline Lodge – Oregon

Featured in: The Shining

Want a more spine-chilling experience? The exterior of this mountain lodge stood in for the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Thankfully, it's more cozy than creepy — but the snowy isolation still brings the atmosphere.

5. Hotel del Coronado – San Diego, California

Featured in: Some Like It Hot

This Victorian beachfront beauty was the backdrop for Marilyn Monroe’s Some Like It Hot. It’s glamorous, charming, and full of old Hollywood nostalgia. Plus, the sunsets on Coronado Island are next-level.

6. The Grandhotel Pupp – Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

Featured in: Casino Royale

Although the movie says it’s in Montenegro, Bond’s luxurious stay in Casino Royale was filmed at the elegant Grandhotel Pupp. It’s a perfect mix of grandeur and mystery — ideal for any 007 fan.

From classic comedies to psychological thrillers, these hotels are more than just movie sets — they’re real-world experiences waiting to happen. Whether you're looking for luxury, history, or a touch of movie magic, booking a stay at one of these cinematic hotels will add some Hollywood sparkle to your travels.
