Prices range from roughly \u20ac120 a night at Schloss Lanke to \u20ac2,500\u20134,100 at Ch\u00e2teau de la Messardi\u00e8re.

There&#8217;s a huge difference between admiring perfect film sets on screen and the moment you can actually wake up inside them. A <strong>night in an iconic hotel<\/strong> from your favourite film or series often costs the equivalent of thousands of euros. Film tourism has become big business, and luxury resorts know exactly how to cash in on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, you might be surprised that you can get into most of these famous buildings for a fraction of the price. <strong>All you need is to book a table<\/strong> for an afternoon coffee or an evening cocktail. You don&#8217;t have to splash out on the presidential suite to walk the same carpets as Hollywood stars. You just need to know the rules of how these exclusive spaces work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We put this list together with one goal in mind: so you know where to go, what you&#8217;ll actually find there and how to get inside without taking out a mortgage. So \u2014 where were only the facades filmed, and where can you find the real film rooms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb36d0f&quot;}\"

Productions often use only the building&#8217;s majestic facade, the surrounding scenery or the beach to shoot grand outdoor scenes. The rooms and corridors themselves are then built, for practical reasons, in huge film studios where light and sound are easier to control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Shining is a prime example. If you arrive in Oregon expecting to walk down eerie corridors with that geometric carpet, <strong>you&#8217;ll be in for a shock<\/strong>. Inside, you&#8217;re greeted by a cosy wooden mountain lodge that has nothing to do with the icy maze from the film. So always check in advance exactly what was filmed where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb39c4e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb39c4e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/c2.jpg\" alt=\"Busy Corso Umberto street in Taormina, Sicily, full of tourists and shops\" class=\"wp-image-346776\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/c2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/c2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/c2-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/c2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/c2-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: trolvag, CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prices_skyrocket_after_the_premiere\"><\/span>Prices skyrocket after the premiere<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This phenomenon has come to be known in tourism as the White Lotus effect. As soon as a luxury resort becomes the central setting of a popular series, <strong>interest in it explodes<\/strong>. And so, of course, do the prices. Places that were once affordable for the ordinary middle class suddenly shift into the ultra-luxury category for the chosen few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it&#8217;s not just the iconic hotel itself. <strong>The whole area gets more expensive<\/strong>. Guesthouses and smaller apartments around Taormina or on Hawaii doubled or even tripled their prices just because they sit a short walk from a famous location. So if you know an anticipated hit is being filmed somewhere, it&#8217;s best to book before it even hits the screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_get_in_even_without_staying_the_night\"><\/span>You can get in even without staying the night<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of people worry that without a valid room key they won&#8217;t even get past the gate. But that&#8217;s not how it works at all. Most historic and luxury hotels run top-notch restaurants and bars that largely live off visits from non-resident guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you book a table in good time and <strong>stick to the required dress code<\/strong>, the staff will welcome you with the same grace as a film star. For the price of one pricier cocktail you can walk through the same grand entrance hall, take photos on the iconic staircase and soak up that one-of-a-kind atmosphere. It&#8217;s the most elegant way to experience set-jetting first-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_book_and_when_prices_drop\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kdy_rezervovat_a_kdy_ceny_padaji\"><\/span>When to book and when prices drop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timing is absolutely key when visiting film locations. If you try your luck in high season, you&#8217;ll run into <strong>astronomical prices and hopelessly sold-out dates<\/strong>. But prices start falling sharply the moment the crowds of summer holidaymakers leave. Sicily in Italy and the French Riviera, for instance, offer the best conditions during a grey November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For exotic destinations like Thailand, it&#8217;s worth not being afraid of the rainy season. It&#8217;s usually a heavy hour-long downpour in the afternoon and then all is calm. On Hawaii, September to November are the most affordable months, once the main American holiday rush has died down. For popular US ski resorts like Timberline Lodge, you need to book at least three months ahead even for an ordinary weekday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_movie_and_TV_hotels_where_you_can_actually_sleep\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_hotelu_z_filmu_a_serialu\"><\/span>16 movie and TV hotels where you can actually sleep<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s take a look at the specific places that have gone down in TV and film history. So here we go. Sixteen locations, different budgets, different continents: from a Norwegian glacier to a Sicilian cliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3b86b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3b86b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1099\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii.jpg\" alt=\"Pool and palm trees at the Four Seasons Resort Maui in Hawaii\" class=\"wp-image-346739\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii-700x481.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii-1536x1055.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii-696x478.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-four-seasons-resort-maui-at-wailea-hawaii-1392x956.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Four_Seasons_Resort_Maui_Maui_Hawaii_The_White_Lotus_Season_1\"><\/span>1. Four Seasons Resort Maui (Maui, Hawaii): The White Lotus, Season 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This vast complex on the south-west coast of Maui kick-started the whole modern set-jetting craze. Pandemic-era filming forced the crew to <strong>lock themselves into a single location<\/strong>, which gave the series its signature claustrophobic mood. Walk through the main lobby and you&#8217;ll instantly recognise the spots from the screen where manager Armond greeted his prominent guests with a fake smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The production made full use of <strong>both the exteriors and the real interior spaces<\/strong>. The famous pool with the hibiscus-flower mosaic on the bottom is exactly the one where Shane spent his days complaining about his room. The beach right in front of the hotel is Wailea Beach, from where Tanya set out on a boat to scatter her mother&#8217;s ashes. It&#8217;s a classic embodiment of the American idea of tropical luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting here means flying into nearby Kahului airport, followed by roughly a half-hour <strong>drive south<\/strong>. In the series the hotel feels like an isolated island of its own, but in reality it sits in a row alongside other luxury resorts. Prices here are extreme \u2014 a night in a standard room runs around \u20ac1,850 to \u20ac2,500, and much more in high season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who&#8217;s it for? Anyone who wants a Hawaiian paradise with no compromises and doesn&#8217;t mind paying extra to not have to worry about a thing. You&#8217;ll discover that reality is actually a little more beautiful and sunnier than that slightly yellow-tinged TV styling. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Hawaiian beaches are public by law. Even without a pricey room, <strong>you can lay your towel on the sand<\/strong> right where the Mossbacher family sunbathed and enjoy the same ocean view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3bfad&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3bfad\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"746\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si.jpg\" alt=\"Terrace of the San Domenico Palace hotel in Taormina with a view of Mount Etna\" class=\"wp-image-346740\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si-700x326.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si-768x358.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si-1536x716.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si-696x325.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-san-domenico-palace-taormina-four-seasons-si-1392x649.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Harman Sidhu \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_San_Domenico_Palace_Taormina_Sicily_The_White_Lotus_Season_2\"><\/span>2. San Domenico Palace (Taormina, Sicily): The White Lotus, Season 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/taormina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">architectural gem in Sicily<\/a> is a former 14th-century Dominican monastery perched on a rocky cliff high above the Ionian Sea. The <strong>gothic, fateful atmosphere<\/strong> of the place gave the second season its unmistakable feel. You can stroll the beautiful cloisters and see the same infinity pool with views of smoking Mount Etna where the main relationship dramas played out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The series took a few liberties with Sicilian geography and <strong>borrowed some locations from elsewhere<\/strong>. The gorgeous beach club where the characters sip Aperol isn&#8217;t at the hotel, because the San Domenico Palace sits high up on the rock. Those beach scenes were actually shot in the coastal towns of Cefal\u00f9 and Giardini Naxos, which you have to reach by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route here ideally runs via Catania airport, followed by a drive up endless hairpin bends <strong>into Taormina itself<\/strong>. The town is largely pedestrianised and parking is a bit of a nightmare. Price-wise we&#8217;re in the top tier here: a single night will set you back roughly \u20ac2,050 to \u20ac3,300 depending on the season and the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This place is perfect for couples looking for <strong>seductive Italian romance and deep history<\/strong>. It&#8217;s not a superficial beach resort but rather an artistic and cultural retreat for lovers of the old world. The ever-present old frescoes and massive stone walls instantly transport you back several centuries. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you want to see the piano Mia sang at, <strong>you&#8217;ll find it in the hotel&#8217;s Anciovi bar<\/strong>. Book a table, dress up nicely and enjoy a drink with the best sea view around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3c644&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3c644\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1313\" height=\"1050\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/03-four-seasons-koh-samui-thailand-resort.jpg\" alt=\"Villa with infinity pool at the Four Seasons resort on Koh Samui\" class=\"wp-image-346743\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/03-four-seasons-koh-samui-thailand-resort.jpg 1313w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/03-four-seasons-koh-samui-thailand-resort-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/03-four-seasons-koh-samui-thailand-resort-700x560.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/03-four-seasons-koh-samui-thailand-resort-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/03-four-seasons-koh-samui-thailand-resort-696x557.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1313px) 100vw, 1313px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Four_Seasons_Koh_Samui_Koh_Samui_Thailand_The_White_Lotus_Season_3\"><\/span>3. Four Seasons Koh Samui (Koh Samui, Thailand): The White Lotus, Season 3<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third season moved the plot to tropical isolation, swapping Western decadence for Eastern spirituality. This complex isn&#8217;t made up of huge concrete blocks but of beautiful <strong>private villas scattered across a steep slope<\/strong>. Each villa hides its own infinity pool and offers breathtaking views over the calm waters of the Gulf of Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the previous locations, you won&#8217;t be walking down sprawling shared corridors here. To move around the resort, guests and film characters alike use <strong>little electric buggies<\/strong> that weave through the dense, lush jungle. The crew filmed mostly in real exteriors, using the authentic setting of the luxury villas to create that feeling of total detachment from reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s just under a half-hour drive from Koh Samui&#8217;s small but beautiful airport. Given the exclusivity and privacy of the villas, be prepared for <strong>a single night to cost you around \u20ac1,650<\/strong> or more. Those prices are expected to jump significantly after the third season airs, with dates sold out months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resort is made for those craving <strong>absolute peace, meditation and an escape from civilisation<\/strong>. Perfect Asian zen radiates from every detail, and the staff make sure you don&#8217;t have to think about anything during your stay. In short, it&#8217;s the ideal spot for a digital detox in the most luxurious form imaginable. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Access to this area is extremely tightly guarded. The only real chance to get a look inside is <strong>an early reservation at the KOH Thai Kitchen restaurant<\/strong>, which towers high above the palm crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3d807&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3d807\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro.jpg\" alt=\"The Airelles Ch\u00e2teau de la Messardi\u00e8re castle hotel above Saint-Tropez\" class=\"wp-image-346745\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/04-airelles-chateau-de-la-messardiere-saint-tro-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Airelles Saint-Tropez, Ch\u00e2teau de la Messardi\u00e8re \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Airelles_Chateau_de_la_Messardiere_Saint-Tropez_France_The_White_Lotus_Season_4\"><\/span>4. Airelles Ch\u00e2teau de la Messardi\u00e8re (Saint-Tropez, France): The White Lotus, Season 4<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth season left the Four Seasons chain for the first time and headed to Europe to represent old money. This gorgeous 19th-century palace is <strong>the absolute embodiment of discreet luxury<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t expect huge glass-walled lobbies, but rather opulent gardens full of mature cypresses and pines, where the staff move as quietly and unnoticed as ghosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ch\u00e2teau doesn&#8217;t sit right in the heart of noisy, buzzing Saint-Tropez but hides on a quiet hill just outside town. The filmmakers mostly used the <strong>stunning exteriors and gardens<\/strong>, which offer sweeping views over the famous Pampelonne bay. The interiors are a careful blend of classic Proven\u00e7al elegance and modern artistic touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nearest major airports are in Nice or Marseille, from where a roughly two-hour scenic <strong>drive along the coast<\/strong> awaits. The hotel has just 86 rooms, which makes it a very exclusive affair. A night in these fairytale surroundings can easily cost between \u20ac2,500 and \u20ac4,100, and even more in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the ideal refuge for travellers seeking <strong>maximum privacy and calm away from the crowds<\/strong>. Its castle-like seclusion makes it the perfect location for anyone who wants to hide from the whole world for a few days. That&#8217;s precisely why the TV production chose it too. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Only a discreet drive leads up to the ch\u00e2teau, and security won&#8217;t let strangers any further. Try to <strong>secure a table at their Matsuhisa restaurant<\/strong>, though the rules for non-resident guests here often change with the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3e177&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3e177\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette.jpg\" alt=\"Art deco facade of the H\u00f4tel Martinez on the Croisette promenade in Cannes\" class=\"wp-image-346746\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05-hotel-martinez-cannes-croisette-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: H\u00f4tel Martinez &#8211; The Unbound Collection by Hyatt \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Hotel_Martinez_Cannes_France_The_White_Lotus_Season_4\"><\/span>5. H\u00f4tel Martinez (Cannes, France): The White Lotus, Season 4<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyatt.com\/en-US\/hotel\/france\/hotel-martinez\/ncamc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">iconic hotel, opened in 1929<\/a>, sits right on the famous Boulevard de la Croisette and is a completely different world. It&#8217;s a huge, well-oiled luxury machine with over 400 rooms. The <strong>gleaming Art Deco facade<\/strong> is visible from afar, and the world&#8217;s most expensive cars are constantly rotating in front of the main entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crew deliberately filmed during the film festival to capture that truly glamorous atmosphere. <strong>Real hotel corridors were used<\/strong>, along with the sea-view balconies and the famous private beach with its iconic blue loungers. This is exactly where, in both the real world and the series, million-dollar contracts are signed and the biggest social dramas unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Nice airport you can reach it by car or train in about forty-five minutes. The price level here is a touch more accessible than the intimate ch\u00e2teaux, but we&#8217;re still talking <strong>hundreds of euros a night<\/strong>. During the May film festival, however, prices are astronomical and every room is booked up years in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Martinez is absolutely perfect for lovers of buzz, parties and <strong>true festival extravagance<\/strong>. It&#8217;s not a place you go to hide, but rather a place where you want to be seen. The Michelin-starred restaurant La Palme d&#8217;Or inside the hotel is among the absolute gastronomic elite of the entire Riviera. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Unlike closed resorts, the Martinez has a relatively welcoming policy for passers-by. <strong>Pop in for a coffee or a drink at the L&#8217;Oasis Bar<\/strong> on the ground floor, put on your dark glasses and enjoy the best people-watching spot in Cannes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3e88a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3e88a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel.jpg\" alt=\"Historic facade of the Lutetia hotel on the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris\" class=\"wp-image-346747\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06-mandarin-oriental-lutetia-paris-hotel-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Mandarin_Oriental_Lutetia_Paris_France_The_White_Lotus_Season_4\"><\/span>6. Mandarin Oriental Lutetia (Paris, France): The White Lotus, Season 4<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This magnificent grand hotel sits on the Left Bank of the Seine and brings genuine urban Parisian elegance to the series. The Lutetia is <strong>the only historic palace hotel in this part of Paris<\/strong>, and ever since its founding it has attracted intellectuals, writers and artists rather than classic businessmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The filmmakers shot scenes here that called for a sense of deep history and classic European charm. The <strong>beautiful Art Nouveau and Art Deco interiors<\/strong> give the footage incredible depth and elegance. Besides the hotel itself, the crew shot other city scenes in nearby Monaco and in various picturesque spots on the streets of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From both of Paris&#8217;s main airports you can comfortably reach it by taxi or metro. A stay in one of the 184 luxury rooms <strong>starts at around \u20ac1,650 a night<\/strong>. The hotel recently underwent a huge and costly renovation that restored its original shine while adding all the modern technological comforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People who come to Paris for the atmosphere rather than the Eiffel Tower love this place. Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s begins just steps away, and you can wander for hours without doing anything in particular. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Set aside a quiet afternoon and <strong>go for afternoon tea in the stunning Aristide bar<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll soak up exactly the intellectual, refined atmosphere that France&#8217;s biggest stars loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3f0ff&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3f0ff\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon.jpg\" alt=\"The Timberline Lodge mountain hotel below Mount Hood in Oregon\" class=\"wp-image-346748\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/07-timberline-lodge-mount-hood-oregon-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Timberline Lodge \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Timberline_Lodge_Mount_Hood_Oregon_USA_The_Shining_1980\"><\/span>7. Timberline Lodge (Mount Hood, Oregon, USA): The Shining (1980)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Say &#8220;horror movie hotel&#8221; and most people picture the famous Overlook from Kubrick&#8217;s The Shining. And it was this mountain lodge, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberlinelodge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">built during the Great Depression on the slopes of Mount Hood<\/a>, that gave the filmmakers <strong>its iconic, chilling exterior<\/strong>. Those terrifying aerial shots of the snow-covered building at the very start of the film belong to the Timberline Lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you&#8217;re hoping to walk down that famous geometric-patterned carpet, you&#8217;re in for a disappointment. <strong>All the interiors were built in Britain at Elstree Studios<\/strong>. Inside you won&#8217;t find any maze of endless corridors, nor the Gold Room. And note: the hotel doesn&#8217;t even have the dreaded room 237. Kubrick deliberately changed the number from the real 217, because the hotel management feared no one would want to sleep there afterwards. Ironically, it&#8217;s now the most sought-after room of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel sits about an hour&#8217;s drive from Portland, Oregon, at an altitude of over 1,800 metres. It&#8217;s a <strong>fully functioning ski resort<\/strong> that welcomes nearly two million people a year. You can find a room here from an affordable \u20ac250 to \u20ac410, but you have to plan far ahead. Book about three months in advance even for an ordinary weekday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This place will thrill anyone touring the western US, mountain lovers and, of course, die-hard fans of the famous horror. Inside you&#8217;re greeted by the wonderful scent of wood and stone, huge fireplaces and that classic cosy old-lodge atmosphere \u2014 ideal for winter skiers and summer hikers alike, and naturally for anyone who&#8217;s watched The Shining more than once. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Plenty of beautiful, freely accessible hiking trails run around the hotel. So you can <strong>snap a great photo of the iconic facade from outside<\/strong> without spending a single euro on a room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb3fe96&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb3fe96\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel.jpg\" alt=\"Schloss Leopoldskron by the lake on the edge of Salzburg\" class=\"wp-image-346749\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/08-schloss-leopoldskron-salzburg-hotel-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Schloss Leopoldskron \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Schloss_Leopoldskron_Salzburg_Austria_The_Sound_of_Music_1965\"><\/span>8. Schloss Leopoldskron (Salzburg, Austria): The Sound of Music (1965)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This stunning rococo palace set right on the lakeshore near central Salzburg is a mecca for fans of the famous musical. It was the <strong>terrace and the lake side of this palace<\/strong> that became the sprawling gardens of the von Trapp family villa in the film. If you remember the famous scene where the children and Maria tumble out of the boat into the water, it was filmed in exactly this spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the rule of film illusion applies again here, because the von Trapp villa is a giant patchwork on screen. While the gardens belong to Leopoldskron, <strong>the front facade of the house is actually Schloss Frohnburg<\/strong>, and all the interior scenes were shot in a safe studio. So don&#8217;t expect to walk through glass doors and find yourself in the same living room where the children sang goodnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The palace, birthplace of the renowned Salzburger Festspiele, offers 55 rooms in the adjoining Meierhof annexe and 12 luxury suites right in the historic palace. <strong>Prices for a double room start at roughly \u20ac410<\/strong> a night, while a suite in the palace will cost around \u20ac620 (verified 7\/2026). Guests have free access to the beautiful library and the palace chapel, and breakfast is served in an amazing historic hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a fantastic retreat for families with children and lovers of the classics who want to experience Salzburg in a slightly unconventional, calmer way. The <strong>combination of the lake view and the surrounding Alpine peaks<\/strong> is utterly magical in every season. The palace also organises tours of the musical&#8217;s locations nearby, so if you know every tune by heart, this will be a dream come true. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Access to the palace&#8217;s private grounds is reserved for paying guests only. But if you <strong>take a walk along the public shore on the opposite side of the lake<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll get exactly that stunning panoramic view you know from the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb40528&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb40528\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california.jpg\" alt=\"The Victorian Hotel del Coronado with red turrets by the beach in San Diego\" class=\"wp-image-346753\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/09-hotel-del-coronado-san-diego-california-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Hotel del Coronado \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Hotel_del_Coronado_San_Diego_California_USA_Some_Like_It_Hot_1959\"><\/span>9. Hotel del Coronado (San Diego, California, USA): Some Like It Hot (1959)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When this <a href=\"https:\/\/hoteldel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">giant Victorian colossus from 1888<\/a> with its distinctive red turrets rises up before you, it feels like you&#8217;ve travelled through time. The wooden building sits right on a perfect Californian beach, and in 1958 Billy Wilder shot his legendary comedy with Marilyn Monroe here. Interestingly, <strong>in the film the hotel plays a Florida resort<\/strong>, even though it sits on the US west coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here too, only the exteriors were filmed: the beautiful beach, the wooden boardwalk and that unmistakable red silhouette. Inside? Pure Hollywood studio, as always. The designers built it so carefully, though, that it looks utterly authentic \u2014 even the placement of the lifts and the grand staircase in the lobby perfectly matches the California reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A parade of American presidents and huge celebrities, from Charlie Chaplin to Sarah Bernhardt, have stayed in this enormous 700-room complex. <strong>A night in this historic gem costs roughly \u20ac620 to \u20ac1,050<\/strong> depending on whether you want a courtyard or an ocean view. The hotel has been through numerous renovations but still holds on to its old-world character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So who is the Coronado really for? Definitely families on a big California road trip and lovers of old American architecture. The <strong>wooden panelling and historic details<\/strong> breathe at every step, and the wide beaches of fine sand are ideal for long afternoon strolls with a view of the Pacific waves. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: You don&#8217;t have to open your wallet at all to enjoy the atmosphere. <strong>California beaches are open to everyone<\/strong>, so you can walk along the sand completely free and photograph that famous red roof from the best possible angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb40b90&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb40b90\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue.jpg\" alt=\"The Plaza hotel on Fifth Avenue by Central Park in New York\" class=\"wp-image-346754\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/10-the-plaza-hotel-new-york-fifth-avenue-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: The Plaza \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

The Plaza (New York, USA): Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the corner of famous Fifth Avenue and the southern edge of Central Park stands a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theplazany.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">building that just about everyone knows<\/a>. It was in this 1907 hotel that little Kevin McCallister enjoyed his freedom and spent his dad&#8217;s credit card money. Unlike many other locations on our list, <strong>both exteriors and plenty of real interiors were actually filmed here<\/strong>, including the main lobby and the long corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today the hotel belongs to the luxury Fairmont brand and still cleverly builds its marketing on its film fame. <strong>From time to time it offers special themed packages<\/strong>, where a giant cheese pizza and an enormous ice cream sundae await you in your room, exactly matching Kevin&#8217;s grand movie menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying here is synonymous with the ultimate New York luxury. Get your wallet ready, because <strong>a single night in a basic room runs about \u20ac1,050 to \u20ac1,450<\/strong>, even on quieter dates. In the run-up to Christmas, when New York is at its most magical, the prices climb much higher still and availability drops sharply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s an obvious choice for anyone who wants to live out their big American dream. <strong>Families with children who know the film inside out<\/strong> will be thrilled at every corner. Its location right by the entrance to Central Park makes it strategically the best imaginable base for <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" data-shortcode=\"true\">exploring the whole of famous Manhattan<\/a>. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: You can comfortably step into the grand main lobby and the famous Palm Court without booking a room. <strong>Have a traditional afternoon tea there<\/strong> \u2014 it&#8217;s not cheap, but it costs just a fraction of a regular night&#8217;s stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb42be5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb42be5\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland.png\" alt=\"Ashford Castle by Lough Corrib lake in Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-346755\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland.png 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland-700x394.png 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11-ashford-castle-cong-county-mayo-ireland-1392x783.png 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Ashford Castle \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Ashford_Castle_Cong_Ireland_The_Quiet_Man_1952\"><\/span>11. Ashford Castle (Cong, Ireland): The Quiet Man (1952)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This majestic castle, over an impressive eight hundred years old, sits on the shore of the beautiful Lough Corrib lake in the west of Ireland. Its <strong>dark stone silhouette<\/strong> appears right in the opening credits of the classic film The Quiet Man, shot here in 1952 by the famous director John Ford. Most of the romantic scenes were created in the castle&#8217;s sprawling grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where fans&#8217; biggest dreams come true, because <strong>the film crew, including the actors, actually stayed at the castle during the shoot<\/strong>. You can even book a room called Stateroom 408, where, according to the hotel, actress Maureen O&#8217;Hara slept at the time. Waiting for you there is a beautiful four-poster bed, an antique writing desk and a breathtaking view straight into the green park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today you&#8217;ll find 82 rooms here. But don&#8217;t worry \u2014 even at its largest, Ashford Castle has kept none of the spirit of a corporate chain. The <strong>price per night is around \u20ac740 to \u20ac1,050<\/strong>, but for your money you get absolutely top-tier service, the chance to try traditional falconry and access to a private golf course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The castle is a perfect destination for couples seeking romance and any traveller passing through wild western Ireland. The <strong>atmosphere of times gone by and deep tradition<\/strong> will wash over you at every huge fireplace. Just below the castle lies the village of Cong, which works like a living museum of the film and where you&#8217;ll find the specialist Quiet Man Museum. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Try to <strong>arrange a walk around the sprawling castle grounds<\/strong> or book a spot at the afternoon tea ritual. It&#8217;s a great chance to explore the lake area and photograph the castle from every angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb43353&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb43353\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england.jpg\" alt=\"The art deco Burgh Island Hotel on a tidal island in Devon\" class=\"wp-image-346757\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12-burgh-island-hotel-devon-england-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Burgh Island Hotel \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Burgh_Island_Hotel_Devon_England_Poirot_Evil_Under_the_Sun\"><\/span>12. Burgh Island Hotel (Devon, England): Poirot, Evil Under the Sun<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picture a beautiful white Art Deco hotel from 1929 sitting atop a small tidal island off the lovely South Devon coast. This place has a truly unique atmosphere, because <strong>at high tide a special sea tractor<\/strong> on enormous tall wheels carries you across to the hotel. Just the journey to reception is an experience you simply won&#8217;t get anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The famous writer Agatha Christie fell in love with this island too, staying here regularly in the 1930s. In the special garden Beach House, which served as her retreat, she <strong>wrote the novels Evil Under the Sun and And Then There Were None<\/strong>. Then, in 2001, the TV adaptation of Evil Under the Sun, with the brilliant David Suchet as Poirot, was filmed in the renovated hotel itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel prides itself on preserving the magic of the 1930s, so you&#8217;ll routinely bump into guests in evening gowns. <strong>A night in this unique setting costs roughly \u20ac490 to \u20ac660<\/strong>, depending on the size of the room and the view of the stormy sea. Over its history it has even hosted the Beatles, who hid here from crazed fans after a nearby concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who&#8217;s it for? Definitely for passionate lovers of classic British detective stories, Art Deco architecture and couples looking for unconventional romance. The <strong>island is really tiny<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s best to come for two nights, during which you can slow down and fully soak up that wonderfully isolated island mood. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you arrive in Devon at low tide, <strong>you can walk across to the island on dry sand<\/strong> completely free. A great public path runs around the hotel, offering views of the most dramatic cliffs and waves crashing against the rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb43bf8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb43bf8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"902\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway.jpg\" alt=\"The Finse 1222 mountain hotel by the Hardangerj\u00f8kulen glacier in Norway\" class=\"wp-image-346758\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway-700x395.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13-finse-1222-hotel-finse-norway-1392x785.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Hotel Finse 1222 \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Finse_1222_Finse_Norway_Star_Wars_The_Empire_Strikes_Back\"><\/span>13. Finse 1222 (Finse, Norway): Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When George Lucas was looking for the right spot for the ice planet Hoth, he sent his crew to Norway&#8217;s huge Hardangerj\u00f8kulen glacier. The mountain settlement of Finse and its surroundings turned out to be the perfect backdrop. Harrison Ford had to <strong>reach the hotel on a train snowplough<\/strong> at the time, because in the middle of a massive blizzard there was simply no other way to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important thing about this place is that <strong>Finse still can&#8217;t be reached by car<\/strong>. The settlement sits at the highest point of the famous railway line between Oslo and Bergen. So you can only get here by train, or in summer on foot or by bike along the popular Rallarvegen mountain route. The famous scenes where Luke wanders in the blizzard were shot just steps behind the hotel&#8217;s back door, because the weather was too extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotel Finse 1222 is still going strong, and in the foyer authentic photos from the demanding shoot hang proudly. <strong>Price-wise, it&#8217;s one of the most affordable experiences<\/strong> on our list. A double room costs roughly \u20ac165 to \u20ac250 a night, which is a very decent deal by Norwegian standards. In March, fans dressed in flawless rebel costumes often gather here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The place is made for adventurers riding one of Europe&#8217;s most beautiful railway lines, and of course for die-hard Star Wars fans. <strong>In winter it&#8217;s a fantastic base for cross-country skiers<\/strong> and snowkiting enthusiasts on the frozen lake, while in summer you&#8217;ll find the cleanest mountain trails and rugged Nordic nature in all its glory. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Since no roads lead to the settlement, <strong>a train ticket from Oslo or Bergen is the best investment<\/strong>. Even if you don&#8217;t stay the night, the journey itself and a short stop at the snowy station will give you that true Planet Hoth feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb44eb7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb44eb7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1045\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary.jpg\" alt=\"The Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary, the film&#039;s Hotel Splendide\" class=\"wp-image-346762\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary-700x457.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary-1536x1003.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary-696x455.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/14-grandhotel-pupp-karlovy-vary-1392x909.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Grandhotel Pupp \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Grandhotel_Pupp_Karlovy_Vary_Czech_Republic_Casino_Royale\"><\/span>14. Grandhotel Pupp (Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic): Casino Royale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Czech entry in our selection is confidently represented by this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pupp.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">monumental spa hotel in Karlovy Vary<\/a>. When Daniel Craig, as the freshly minted agent 007, pulled up to a luxury hotel in Montenegro, he parked his Aston Martin right in front of this entrance. The Pupp put on an absolutely perfect illusion of old-world central European luxury, and <strong>its opulent reception appeared in the film in all its glory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though many tense scenes played out here, one important thing needs setting straight. <strong>The casino itself was not filmed at the Pupp.<\/strong> Those scenes were shot in the nearby Imperial Spa building, just a few minutes&#8217; walk from the hotel. Still, at the Pupp you can walk the same corridors Bond did and soak up the film&#8217;s atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A huge advantage is that it&#8217;s under two hours by car from major hubs like Prague. <strong>A single night here costs roughly \u20ac200 to \u20ac330<\/strong>, which makes it a luxurious but still affordable experience for a nice weekend. The town also has enormous charm in every season, and strolls along the surrounding colonnades are guaranteed to recharge you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who&#8217;s it for? For anyone who wants to experience top-tier Bond luxury without buying an expensive plane ticket. The <strong>combination of wellness, great cuisine and film history<\/strong> works absolutely perfectly here. The Pupp has also long been the heart of the Karlovy Vary film festival, so the genius loci is palpable at every step. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: You don&#8217;t have to buy a room straight away. <strong>Stop by for a coffee and the famous cake at Becher&#8217;s Bar<\/strong>, right on the hotel&#8217;s ground floor. You can even order the same drink as the famous agent and enjoy the tasteful interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb4569c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb4569c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2133\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany.jpg\" alt=\"Schloss Lanke in the Brandenburg forests, the series&#039; Waldhotel Winden\" class=\"wp-image-346764\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/15-schloss-lanke-wandlitz-brandenburg-germany-1392x1856.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Moritz Film und Foto \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Schloss_Lanke_Brandenburg_Germany_Dark\"><\/span>15. Schloss Lanke (Brandenburg, Germany): Dark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our list closes with a place that has a very specific, dark atmosphere. This historic German castle, hidden in the deep forests north-east of Berlin, <strong>played the series&#8217; Waldhotel Winden<\/strong> in Netflix&#8217;s hit mystery. From major hubs like Prague you can reach it by car in under four hours; from central Berlin it&#8217;s about an hour&#8217;s drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike other commercial resorts, this place is far more intimate. <strong>The castle operates primarily for staying guests<\/strong> and tries to protect their peace and quiet. You won&#8217;t find any huge halls full of tourists, but rather quiet corridors and renovated apartments that preserve the building&#8217;s historic character combined with modern comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accommodation prices here are very reasonable \u2014 <strong>you can get an apartment for the night from roughly \u20ac120 to \u20ac200<\/strong>, which makes it one of the cheapest tips of all. The place is ideal for autumn trips, when the surrounding forests take on exactly that slightly gloomy, misty mood that fans of the series love and seek out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one will delight anyone looking for a quiet escape from the big city paired with pop-culture interest. <strong>Combining a trip to Berlin with a night in the Brandenburg forests<\/strong> works brilliantly. You can wander the surrounding nature trails and wonder whether you might stumble upon a time anomaly. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Since access to the building is reserved for guests only, <strong>booking a room really is the best way<\/strong> to get a look inside. Unlike the luxury resorts on the Riviera, though, it won&#8217;t cost you a fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a713ecb45f6e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a713ecb45f6e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2133\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca.jpg\" alt=\"Inspector Montalbano&#039;s house with a terrace over the sea in Punta Secca, Sicily\" class=\"wp-image-348401\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16-la-casa-di-montalbano-punta-secca-1392x1856.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: La Casa di Montalbano \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_La_Casa_di_Montalbano_Punta_Secca_Sicily_Inspector_Montalbano\"><\/span>16. La Casa di Montalbano (Punta Secca, Sicily): Inspector Montalbano<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tip is to Italy what the Grandhotel Pupp is to the Czech Republic. Every viewer of <em>Inspector Montalbano<\/em> knows the low white house with a terrace right over the sea in the fishing village of <strong>Punta Secca<\/strong> in southern Sicily. Director Alberto Sironi chose it as the home of the main character, and ever since it has become a place of pilgrimage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That famous terrace, from which Montalbano heads out for a morning swim and where he has breakfast with a sea view, <strong>is absolutely real<\/strong>. It stands a short walk from a historic Saracen tower and looks out over the open Mediterranean. Today the house works as a bed and breakfast, so you can rent a room, make yourself a coffee in the morning and lean against the same little wall as the inspector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u26a0\ufe0f Bear in mind that <strong>the fictional town of Vig\u00e0ta doesn&#8217;t exist<\/strong>. The filmmakers pieced it together from several Baroque towns in southern Sicily, mainly <strong>Ragusa<\/strong> and <strong>Scicli<\/strong>, where the police station and street scenes were shot. Punta Secca is just Montalbano&#8217;s house and beach. The living room in the B&amp;B, however, is furnished with the original furniture from the series, so the illusion holds here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nearest airport is <strong>Comiso<\/strong>, or else Catania, about an hour and a half by car. Price-wise it&#8217;s the most accessible item on the whole list \u2014 we&#8217;re talking in the low hundreds of euros a night, not the thousands. It suits lovers of detective stories, slow travel and southern Sicily away from the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> The house runs seasonally and is usually closed over winter, with bookings for the next season opening as early as the end of December. If you don&#8217;t want to stay, both the terrace and the beach are freely accessible from public land, so you can photograph them from outside no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparison_table_which_hotel_for_whom\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Srovnavaci_tabulka\"><\/span>Comparison table: which hotel for whom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Hotel<\/th><th>Film or series<\/th><th>Country<\/th><th>Price level<\/th><th>Best for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody><tr><td>Four Seasons Resort Maui<\/td><td>The White Lotus (S1)<\/td><td>Hawaii (USA)<\/td><td>Extremely high<\/td><td>Demanding travellers wanting full beach service<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>San Domenico Palace<\/td><td>The White Lotus (S2)<\/td><td>Sicily (Italy)<\/td><td>Extremely high<\/td><td>Couples seeking romance, lovers of history and Etna views<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Four Seasons Koh Samui<\/td><td>The White Lotus (S3)<\/td><td>Thailand<\/td><td>Very high<\/td><td>Those seeking zen calm, jungle isolation and a digital detox<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Ch\u00e2teau de la Messardi\u00e8re<\/td><td>The White Lotus (S4)<\/td><td>France<\/td><td>Extremely high<\/td><td>Old-money lovers craving privacy and Proven\u00e7al style<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>H\u00f4tel Martinez<\/td><td>The White Lotus (S4)<\/td><td>France<\/td><td>Very high<\/td><td>Fans of film festivals, buzz and Riviera extravagance<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Mandarin Oriental Lutetia<\/td><td>The White Lotus (S4)<\/td><td>France<\/td><td>Very high<\/td><td>Admirers of Parisian elegance, art and caf\u00e9 culture<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Timberline Lodge<\/td><td>The Shining<\/td><td>Oregon (USA)<\/td><td>Mid-range<\/td><td>Mountain enthusiasts, skiers and cult horror fans<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Schloss Leopoldskron<\/td><td>The Sound of Music<\/td><td>Austria<\/td><td>Higher<\/td><td>Families with kids, lovers of classic musicals and Alpine lakes<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Hotel del Coronado<\/td><td>Some Like It Hot<\/td><td>California (USA)<\/td><td>Higher<\/td><td>Families on a west-coast road trip, history admirers<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>The Plaza<\/td><td>Home Alone 2<\/td><td>New York (USA)<\/td><td>Very high<\/td><td>Fans of Christmas in New York and families with kids<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Ashford Castle<\/td><td>The Quiet Man<\/td><td>Ireland<\/td><td>Higher<\/td><td>Old Hollywood lovers, travellers touring rugged western Ireland<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Burgh Island Hotel<\/td><td>Poirot, Evil Under the Sun<\/td><td>England<\/td><td>Higher<\/td><td>Art Deco enthusiasts and Agatha Christie detective fans<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Finse 1222<\/td><td>Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back<\/td><td>Norway<\/td><td>Affordable<\/td><td>Adventurers, skiers and sci-fi fans craving rugged nature<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Grandhotel Pupp<\/td><td>Casino Royale<\/td><td>Czech Republic<\/td><td>Mid-range<\/td><td>Anyone wanting weekend luxury without flying<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Schloss Lanke<\/td><td>Dark<\/td><td>Germany<\/td><td>Affordable<\/td><td>Fans of mystery series, day-trippers from around Berlin<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>La Casa di Montalbano<\/td><td>Inspector Montalbano<\/td><td>Italy (Sicily)<\/td><td>Low hundreds of \u20ac per night<\/td><td>Lovers of detective stories and southern Sicily<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kde_se_najist\"><\/span>Where to eat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A visit to a famous hotel wouldn&#8217;t be complete without tasting something delicious. Most of these five-star complexes offer fantastic cuisine that is often worth the trip in its own right. And the best part? You can get into plenty of them without booking a pricey room, exactly as we discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you head to Cannes in France, don&#8217;t miss the legendary Michelin-starred restaurant La Palme d&#8217;Or right in the H\u00f4tel Martinez, or grab a coffee at their L&#8217;Oasis Bar. In Paris, the Aristide bar in the Lutetia will charm you, where you can enjoy a refined afternoon tea. And if you want to stay in the Czech Republic, the Grandhotel Pupp welcomes you to its iconic Becher&#8217;s Bar, home to the best cakes and, of course, Bond-worthy drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_inside_even_when_youre_not_sleeping_there\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jak_se_dovnitr_dostat_i_kdyz_tam_nespite\"><\/span>How to get inside even when you&#8217;re not sleeping there<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paying thousands of euros for a single night simply isn&#8217;t for everyone. The good news is that it&#8217;s often not even necessary. The most useful trick of seasoned film travellers isn&#8217;t finding secret entrances but <strong>making the right use of publicly accessible hotel services<\/strong>. Here are the best ways to soak up the film atmosphere for reasonable money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simplest and most reliable route is <strong>a reservation at the hotel restaurant or the main bar<\/strong>. At places like the Martinez in Cannes or the San Domenico Palace in Sicily, this is completely normal practice. Book a table ideally several weeks ahead and be prepared that one cocktail will cost you around thirty euros. But for that price you get full access to the lobby, you can sink into a comfy armchair and enjoy exactly the same service and luxury as staying guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But remember to <strong>strictly respect the required dress code<\/strong>. In beach shorts, flip-flops or a sweaty tourist T-shirt, a five-star resort most likely won&#8217;t even let you past the barrier. Most of these places call for &#8220;smart casual&#8221;: long trousers for men, an elegant shirt and closed shoes. Dress nicely and carry yourself confidently, and the staff will treat you impeccably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t even want to pay for a drink, <strong>harness the power of public space<\/strong>. The laws of many countries, especially Hawaii or France, don&#8217;t allow beaches to be fully privatised. That means you can lay your own blanket on the sand right next to the reserved hotel zone with its pricey loungers. You&#8217;ll swim in the same ocean and have exactly the same view of the building as people who paid a fortune for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, it&#8217;s worth checking the map for public paths around the grounds \u2014 sometimes they run right below the resort&#8217;s windows, and the views of the facades are better than from the hotel reception. And no one will think to throw you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_it_all_costs_three_budgets\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kolik_to_cele_stoji_tri_rozpocty\"><\/span>How much it all costs: three budgets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s be clear: film tourism doesn&#8217;t have to cost a fortune. Here are three realistic ways to approach it. All the prices given are approximate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. The backpacker fan: an experience for nothing<\/strong> This scenario is for those who want to see famous places but don&#8217;t want to spend needlessly. You fly into the destination and stay in an ordinary cheap hostel or guesthouse a few streets away. To a hotel like the Coronado in California or a Hawaiian resort you <strong>head along the public beach and take perfect photos of the facade from outside<\/strong>. So the experience of stunning architecture and beautiful nature costs you nothing extra \u2014 you only pay for your ordinary trip. <em>Total extra cost: \u20ac0.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. The middle way: one iconic evening<\/strong> The ideal compromise. You sleep in nice but affordable accommodation (say, an ordinary hotel in the centre of Taormina), which you can find on <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>. For one particular evening you dress up nicely and <strong>head to the famous hotel bar for two luxurious cocktails<\/strong>. You walk through the illuminated lobby, take photos where the cameras once stood and soak up that true old-money atmosphere. <em>Total extra cost: around \u20ac60 to \u20ac80 for drinks per person.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Full luxury: a night straight out of a film<\/strong> This is for when you&#8217;re celebrating something big. You book the <strong>real room right in the building<\/strong> where the filming took place and enjoy all the services. You use the hotel pools, have breakfast in a historic hall and the staff look after you from the first second to the last. You&#8217;ll pay extra for this comfort, of course, especially if you choose places like The Plaza in New York or the ch\u00e2teau in Saint-Tropez. <em>Total extra cost: \u20ac620 to \u20ac2,500 for a single night depending on the hotel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_next\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kam_dal\"><\/span>Where to go next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If film travel has got you excited, we have more inspiration for you.

We completely understand. During our research we went through so much information you could write a book from it. So we&#8217;ve picked the most common questions about movie hotels and gathered them all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_was_the_second_season_of_White_Lotus_filmed\"><\/span>Where was the second season of White Lotus filmed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The central location for the second season was the stunning San Domenico Palace in the town of Taormina in Sicily. This former Dominican monastery provided the series with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea and the smoking Mount Etna. However, some beach scenes were filmed in the nearby towns of Cefal\u00f9 and Giardini Naxos.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_visit_The_Plaza_hotel_in_New_York_without_staying_overnight\"><\/span>Can you visit The Plaza hotel in New York without staying overnight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, you can enter the main grand lobby and the famous Palm Court area even without a valid room reservation. The best and most popular way to enjoy this legendary interior from Home Alone 2 is to book a table for traditional afternoon tea.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_find_room_number_237_from_The_Shining\"><\/span>Where can I find room number 237 from The Shining?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This feared room doesn&#8217;t actually exist at the Timberline Lodge hotel at all. Director Stanley Kubrick changed the number from the real 217 to the fictional 237 because the hotel management was worried that no one would want to sleep in it anymore. Besides, all the interiors were shot in British studios.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_visit_luxury_Italian_and_French_hotels\"><\/span>When is the best time to visit luxury Italian and French hotels?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you want to save money and avoid the biggest crowds, head there in the off-season, ideally during November. The scenery is exactly the same, the staff is more relaxed, and prices drop to an absolute fraction of those during the holidays. Plus, it&#8217;s easier to get bar reservations.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_visit_the_White_Lotus_hotels_even_if_Im_not_staying_there\"><\/span>Can I visit the White Lotus hotels even if I&#8217;m not staying there?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Usually yes, but it requires a bit of planning. The best tactic is to make an early reservation at their restaurant or bar, <strong>where you can have a coffee or cocktail<\/strong>. But remember that you must <strong>strictly observe the prescribed dress code<\/strong>, otherwise security simply won&#8217;t let you into the most luxurious complexes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_movie_hotel_is_closest_to_visit_from_Europe\"><\/span>Which movie hotel is closest to visit from Europe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>One of the closest options for many European travelers is Karlovy Vary, where the <strong>famous Grandhotel Pupp<\/strong> stands. It played the luxury Montenegrin Hotel Splendide in the Bond film Casino Royale. You can <strong>easily reach it by car from many Central European cities<\/strong> and walk through the exact same lobby as Agent 007.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_the_beaches_at_luxury_Hawaiian_resorts_private\"><\/span>Are the beaches at luxury Hawaiian resorts private?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, Hawaiian beaches are <strong>by law publicly accessible to everyone<\/strong>. Even if you don&#8217;t have the money for an expensive room at the Four Seasons on Maui island from the first season of White Lotus, you can absolutely <strong>lay out your towel on the sand right in front of the hotel<\/strong> and enjoy the same view for free.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418007\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_to_the_Finse_1222_hotel_where_Star_Wars_was_filmed\"><\/span>How do I get to the Finse 1222 hotel where Star Wars was filmed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There is <strong>absolutely no road leading to this Norwegian mountain hotel<\/strong>. It sits at the highest point of the railway line between Oslo and Bergen, so <strong>the only way to get there is by train<\/strong>. In the summer months, you can also hike there on foot or ride a mountain bike.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785065418008\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_so-called_White_Lotus_effect\"><\/span>What is the so-called White Lotus effect?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a <strong>massive surge in prices and demand for accommodation<\/strong> after a TV hit has been filmed there. This applies not only to the luxury hotel itself, but also to all the smaller surrounding guesthouses, which very often <strong>sharply increase their prices immediately after the premiere airs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover 16 famous movie hotels from hit films and series.
