Famous American Movie Star Hotels!
Famous American Movie Star Hotels!
Top 10 famous American Hollywood Hotels
Some of Hollywood’s largest movies were filmed in these movie star hotels.
Published by Get A Trip.com
Countless movie scenes have been shot at these famous American movie star hotels. While you can’t be guaranteed to book a hotel with movie stars bumping into you in the elevator or happen to wander into a blockbuster set with the likes of Anjolina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but you are assured that these famous movie hotels will dazzle you in the ambience of stardom!
We at Get A Trip.com welcome you to explore some of these fabulous hotels where movie stars stay. Let’s take a look now at the top 10 famous movie star hotels in America.
1. Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach Florida. The A-list status of this most famous Florida hotel, a former vacation spot for iconic stars such as Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, has been upheld by its many movie appearances. In “The Bodyguard,” Whitney Houston put the Hotel Fountainebleau on a high note. “Goldfinger” added the golden touch to the property and though hard to top a James Bond movie, Al Pacino certainly gives him a run for the money, while shooting the famous pool scene in the blockbuster movie “Scarface.”
2 . The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California is set atop the steep incline of Nob Hill reaching equal heights on the silver screen. Ever since Alfred Hitchcock shot “Vertigo” at the Hotel Fairmont San Francisco, in 1958, this famous San Francisco hotel has become an iconic part of famous movies shot in San Francisco. To add to these movies let’s not forget the “Towering Inferno,” “Sudden Impact,” “Junior” and “The Rock,” in which Sean Connery’s character enjoys a lavish suite at this most famous San Francisco hotel.
3 . The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City boasts a rich history and prime location near Grand Central Station. The New York City Roosevelt Hotel has seen its share of famous faces over the years. Jennifer Lopez’s “Maid in Manhattan” landed a job at this hotel, while Michael Douglas’s famous “Greed is good” scene in the movie “Wall Street” was also shot at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York.
4. Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada boasting almost 4,000 guest rooms and suites, a renowned casino and world-famous dance shows. This most famous Las Vegas hotel Bellagio is no stranger to the silver screen. The fountains alone have made countless Hollywood cameos and the Las Vegas Belagio hotel may be most famous for its parts in both “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Ocean’s Thirteen.” Though most famous Vegas hotels with casinos cater to the rich and famous, including actors and actresses, producers and directors, these are also family-friendly Vegas hotels with something for everyone including being kid friendly as well.
5. Timberline Lodge Oregon stands at an elevation of almost 6,000 feet [1,900 meters -- within the Mount Hood National Forest], Timberline Lodge is a popular Oregon ski retreat, which famously provided chills in “The Shining,” as the exterior of the fictional Overlook Hotel. While the interior scenes were shot on a movie set and Stephen King’s inspiration for the nerve-jangling tale came from a trip to The Stanley Hotel in Colorado, it’s Oregon Timberline Lodge ’s looming presence that remains a true scene-stealer. Who can ever forget Jack Nicholson hacking through that bathroom door with an axe, “It’s…. Johnny, ….I’m home!”
6. The Plaza Hotel New York City, New York is among ”the” most famous New York hotels and is a landmark boasting sweeping views of Central Park, as well as impressive movie credentials. The New York Hotel Plaza ’s Oak Room was featured in Hitchcock’s classic “North By Northwest” [and remains unchanged to this day] and the Plaza Hotel in New York has served as the place where Crocodile Dundee swapped the Australian outback for a luxurious room and starred in scenes in “The Way We Were,” “Home Alone 2,” “Bride Wars” and more! The Plaza Hotel of New York is a grand place for your next vacation in New York.
7. Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles, California has been featured in more than 100 movies. The Hotel Millennium Biltmore is a true Hollywood scene-stealer. This most famous Los Angeles hotel, with Tom Cruise and company, has guestrooms that have made appearances in “Mission Impossible 3.″ Oh, did we mention they also filmed the “The Bodyguard,” “Spiderman,” “Wedding Crashers,” “Dreamgirls” and “Pretty in Pink?” The movie stars at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles consider this Los Angeles luxury hotel their “home away from home.” We think you will feel at home here as well!
8. Renaissance Airport Hotel St. Louis, Missouri attracts its fair share of famous actors. While numerous famous hotels in Missouri were used in the filming of the movie “Up in the Air,” the guestrooms at Renaissance St. Louis Hotel Airport were not only graced with George Clooney’s on-screen presence, but also receive top marks for being quiet and close to the airport. Good choice for a family hotel in St. Louis.
9. Beverly Wilshire Hotel Beverly Hills, California sets just steps away from Rodeo Drive’s renowned boutiques. This Beverly Hills luxury hotel will thrill shopaholics and “Pretty Woman” movie fans alike. This most famous Beverly Hills hotel should attract men too, as it’s been the backdrop for scenes in the “Beverly Hills Cop” movies and “Bulworth.” One can’t help feeling the glorious sense of old-time Hollywood glamour at this famous hotel in Beverly Hills. If you are seeking California luxury hotels, this is one of the best hotels in California.
10. Mountain Lake Hotel Pembroke, Virginia has long made a name for itself with the filming here of “Dirty Dancing.” Movie buffs might just have the time of their lives at this Virginia luxury resort, which was featured as the fictitious Kellerman’s Resort in this cult classic movie. Nestled in the New River Valley of the Appalachian Mountains, the Hotel Mountain Lake is one of many great hotels in Virginia. Offering stunning scenery, as well as Dirty Dancing weekends featuring karaoke, dance lessons and a film location tour.
These top 10 famous movie hotels are sure to thrill the whole family. Hotels with movie stars, in fact all the above movie star hotels, are going to be great fun just knowing so many fabulous blockbusters were shot at these movie location hotels.
