Oscar-Worthy Hotels

The Oscars are around the corner, and maybe Leonardo DiCaprio will finally win his Academy Award. To celebrate the awards season Booking.com has compiled a list of nominees for “Best Hotel Properties for Global Travelers” so that you’ll be assured to have an Oscar-worthy experience when you arrive.

Here are the nominees:

 

Wilton Castle | Enniscorthy, Ireland  

Located in Southeastern Ireland, this former 13^th century castle is heavily steeped in the elegance of its past. Activities like golfing and fishing allow guests to embrace the beauty of this small town from where the main character of the film, Brooklyn, originates.

 

The Plaza | New York City

Opened over a century ago, this cinematically renowned hotel was famously depicted in The Great Gatsby.  It remains as grand as the day it opened. Situated in the center of Manhattan, across from Central Park, it offers access to everything in the Big Apple.

 

The Lookout Cave Underground Motel | Coober Pedy, Australia 

Fans of this year’s Mad Max: Fury Road will enjoy this unique property that offers a comfortable and surprisingly modern stay underground amid the isolated and wild landscape of South Australia.

 

The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection | Portland, Maine

Situated in the building formerly occupied by the Portland Press Herald, the hotel is themed around journalism and the newspaper business.  Some of the furnishings include vintage office desks, chairs and typewriters. The hotel’s bar, The Inkwell, once housed the newspaper’s city room, which moviegoers will recall from the film Spotlight.

 

The Ritz-Carlton, Battery Park| New York City

This 5-star hotel sits at the edge of the city’s bustling financial district and delivers an unforgettable view of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty. It’s no wonder it’s a top choice for movers and shakers akin to the Wall St. characters featured in this year’s The Big Short.

 

Nimb Hotel | Copenhagen, Denmark

Located in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens, this chic boutique hotel is housed in an impressive Moorish-style building. Its guest rooms harken back to the days of the early 20th century. Fans of The Danish Girl will totally get it.

 

Mountain Lodge at Telluride | Telluride, Colorado

If the characters in the film The Hateful Eight sought shelter from the blizzard at this hotel, no doubt their story would have turned out differently. The rustic property is nestled in the San Juan Mountains, catering to guests looking to relax and soak in the majestic beauty of the area.

 

Silken Puerta America | Madrid, Spain 

This hotel is a sci-fi fan’s dream. While fans of The Martian can’t travel to the Red Planet, this hotel offers a selection of guest rooms resembling a futuristic space station that’s difficult to match anywhere else in the world.

 

Glacier Under Canvas | Coram, Montana

Practically jumping off the screen from The Revenant, this property in northwestern Montana puts guests in the heart of the wilderness … under tents. With the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, guests can either relax or become Leonardo DiCaprio and explore their wild side in nearby Glacier National Park.

 

Millennium Biltmore Hotel | Los Angeles, California

The 1923 beaux arts-inspired architecture of the extravagant Biltmore Hotel in downtown L.A. practically places its guests in Hollywood’s Golden Era. The famous Gallery Bar will make guests feel as though they’ve stepped onto the screen in the film Trumbo.

 

Guest house Villa Fritz | Potsdam, Germany

This family-run property in picturesque Potsdam, is near a number of beautiful palaces, including Babelsberg Castle and Sanssouci Palace. Also frequently seen in this year’s film, Bridge of Spies, is Glienicke Bridge, a 20 minute walk away.

And the Oscar for the most cinematic hotel goes to…
