When traveling, you look for a hotel that is economically affordable, but comfortable and decent. Of course, there are cheap hotels you definitely aren’t interested in, so if you have a little extra money to splurge, you might go over the top and book reservation online at a luxury resort. Hotel booking is easy these days through the means of your computer, but deciding where to stay can be a little more difficult.
Pretty sure we’ve all seen movie hotels and thought: I wish I knew where they were so I could take a trip there. Well, here are ten hotels featured in movies if you’re looking for paradise mixed with a little bit of cinema.

Chateau de Villette

This chateau in France was casted as a famous mansion in The Da Vinci Code, with Tom Hanks. In the film, Tom Hanks’ character and his partner go searching for clues inside the “mansion” and you can see that each room is exquisite, elegantly decorated and fit for a king.

Villa Balbianello

In Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones, the beautiful senator and young Anakin were off in a corner at this villa, engaging in romance. The Villa Balbianello is located in Lake Como, Italy. You can reach it on foot if you’re up for a walk or take a boat taxi for those who want to relax on the way.

The Bellagio Resort

This luxury resort lodge in Las Vegas is a popular filming spot: Knocked Up, Head of State, Oceans 11, 12 and 13 and Dodgeball are some of the films noted to have filmed here. Expect to find dancing, water fountains and an extravagant courtyard along with edible amenities that will tantalize your taste buds if you find yourself here.

Millennium Biltmore

Several movie scenes were filmed at this luxurious Los Angeles resort, such as Wedding Crashers, Pretty in Pink, Splash and Rocky III. The Millennium Biltmore is just minutes away from many of the most popular spots, such as the Staples Center, Beverly Hills, NOKIA Theater and the Museum of Contemporary Art and is a prime location to spot celebs.

The Adolphus

This Dallas, Texas resort had to contend with Borat when he graced them with his presence here. Borat was so “difficult” that he managed to get kicked out of here. This establishment is considered the “diamond” in the downtown Dallas area.

The Venetian Resort

The scene where Sandra Bullock chases down Dolly Parton in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous took place here at this Las Vegas resort. The combination of elegant rooms, awesome amenities, amazing entertainment and a fabulous casino make this a popular luxury hotspot.

Fontainebleau Suites

This Miami Beach resort has been a scene location in such films as Scarface, Dreamgirls and Goldfinger. Relax and enjoy all that the Fontainebleau Suites have to offer, such as their pool, the beach, cabanas for your privacy, the Bleu bar, a marina, fantastic guest rooms, massages, entertainment, golf and much more.

The Ambassador

The disco scene from Forrest Gump took place at this Los Angeles resort. This movie, initially thought to not fare well at the box office, became one of the great cinema classics. Other movies with scenes filmed here include Pretty Woman, The Mask, Scream 2 and Catch Me if You Can. The hotel closed many years ago, but still stands. The Ambassador housed many U.S. Presidents and movie stars when it was in operation.

The Park Hyatt Tokyo

The Academy Award-winning film, Lost in Translation, was filmed almost exclusively in this resort. Beautifully decorated rooms and high class entertainment make this hotel a treat for anyone with the means to stay. Dine up high at the restaurants in the building; one of which is as high as the 52nd floor where you will experience a spectacular view of the area.

The Hotel Regina Paris

The Bourne Identity with Matt Damon and Kiss of the Dragon with Jet Li feature scenes filmed here. This establishment is in an excellent area, close to all of the historical landmarks, such as the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Place de la Concorde. Surround yourself in luxury at the Hotel Regina Paris and you can expect to live like royalty.
