Check-in, passports, suitcases, reception, mini-bar, housekeeping, concierge, ... For many hotel enthusiasts, these words almost give off a scent of exoticism as it's been a long time since they last walked down the corridors of a hotel.

Health restrictions have forced everyone to limit their traveling and to rethink daily life in which, it must be admitted, a certain monotony has set in. To fight against the gloom of days that look alike, everyone cannot help but dream of their next vacation, whether it's a stay in Japan, a Parisian getaway, a weekend in the Swiss Alps or a world tour with a backpack!

In order to satisfy these little desires of escapism and to be reminded of the cozy, special atmosphere of a hotel lobby, you will find below a selection of 10 legendary hotels which have greatly contributed to the success of the films shot in them, and in which it is possible to stay.
