These Movie-themed Hotel Rooms Will Bring Your Favorite Fantasy to Life
Hotels can bring a big variety of settings and moods, from spooky to extravagant to quirky. They also have a unique opportunity to create a scene by designing decor to transport guests to a different place.

For a few hotels, that different place they transport guests to is a movie set. They are either capitalizing on their movie connection to remind visitors of the movies filmed on their premises. Or they are creating theme rooms to help guest feel like they are characters in their favorite films. Many hotels are offering special packages to replicate as much of the movie experience as they can, or are redoing all of their decor to match specific films.
Here are some of our favorites.
