Beautiful Hotels In Academy Award-Nominated Films

Posted: 02/23/2012 2:00 pm

With the Academy Awards just a few days away, we got to thinking: We should really petition for a "Best Hotel Featured in a Motion Picture" category. Unfortunately, the Academy has yet to respond to our requests, so we thought we'd share a few of our favorite hotels featured in Academy Award-nominated films.

The following four hotels method acted their supporting roles in this years blockbusters, reminding us that while we may never look like Daniel Craig, but we can stay in just as nice a suite.

If there was an Oscar given for "Best Hotel Featured in a Motion Picture," which one would you vote for?

Characters in Woody Allen movies are pretty lucky. Sure they're a little quirky and dysfunctional, but boy do they get to travel to some incredible destinations. In his newest flick, "Midnight in Paris," Allen whisks his protagonist off to The City of Light, where Hôtel Le Bristol served as one of the primary filming locations. A perfect representation of Parisian charm, Le Bristol offers some of the largest guest rooms in Paris, each adorned with Louis XV- and Louis XVI-style furniture, antique prints and sumptuous fabrics. The hotel is located just two blocks from Élysée Palace, on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which is considered one of the most fashionable streets in the world. And while you might not be lucky enough to wine and dine with the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Cole Porter, your time at Le Bristol will feel just as magical as the nights main character Gil Pender spent with the cultural elite.

On the other hand, the steps where Gil waits for the limousine are those of the gorgeous old Gothic church of St-Étienne du Mont on the tiny Place Ste-Geneviève where the rue de la Montagne Ste-Geneviève approaches the north wall of the Panthéon, in the heart of the Latin Quarter. We saw the big trailer on the square in front of the Panthéon for most of July 2010. It had the old Peugeot in it.

It would be perfect in any setting but it's looks over Hanalei Bay. That makes it a heavenly experience. Life doesn't get any better.
