Francis Ford Coppola said he was inspired to create the All-Movie Hotel during the production of his newest film "Megalopolis."
The Family Coppola Hideaways
Francis Ford Coppola opened a filmmaker-focused hotel in Peachtree City, Georgia.
The hotel, part of The Family Coppola Hideaways, features 27 rooms and post-production facilities.
Coppola was inspired to create the hotel during the production of his new film, "Megalopolis."
A film-production site and hotel in one, Francis Ford Coppola's new All-Movie Hotel is a filmmaker's haven and a cinephile's dream.
Located in Georgia, the hotel — which we spotted via Gizmodo — is the newest addition to The Family Coppola Hideaways, a collection of resorts in Belize, Guatemala, Argentina, and Italy.
With state-of-the-art post-production facilities and 27 rooms personally designed by Coppola, the hotel caters specifically "to the needs of filmmakers," the website says.
Coppola said he was inspired to build the hotel in Peachtree City, located around 30 miles from Atlanta, after spending two years in the area shooting his latest project, "Megalopolis."
"When I didn't want to think about the movie, I would think about this hotel," he said. "And when I didn't want to think about the hotel, I would think about the movie."
Georgia's film industry generated an estimated $4.1 billion in production expenditure in 2023 and contains multiple production facilities, including those responsible for many of Disney's Marvel movies.
However, Coppola said the lack of spaces specifically for post-production inspired him to create a facility with an "intimate connection" between luxury accommodations and post-filming studios like editing suites and sound studios.
The director vouched for the facility's quality, revealing that "Megalopolis" will say "sound mixed at the All-Movie Hotel," which he thinks will make filmmakers "come here in droves."
