Inspiration comes in many forms, and for many travelers, the destinations they want to visit come from seeing them on the big (and small) screen. While you can easily be transported to the beautiful beaches of Honolulu or the Italian countryside from the comfort of the TV in your own home, nothing beats stepping into your main character energy and booking a room in the same hotel you saw on screen.
Production teams know best and pick the absolute finest hotels to set up shop—beautiful rooms with striking views of the city, olympic-style pools, luxury spas, and gorgeous, lush gardens are just some of the amenities that these hotels have to offer. We won’t blame you if you happen to spend most of your time in your room, but if you do choose to venture out, many of the movies below offer realistic scenes from the nightlight and local businesses that are worth checking out. Below find 21 of the best hotels from popular movies, including top hits like The Hangover, Girls Trip, Scarface, and The Lobster.
