At the same time, it makes him independent of his long-term pregnancy Big rock In the suburbs of Atlanta, Francis Ford Coppola quietly works on another unusual creative project.

During downtime, the director godfather and Revelation Now Decided to buy and renovate past hotels in Peachtree, Georgia to create a unique hybrid space. The idea is to create a passionate residence for those who make movies in the area (or just for those who love them (movies).

The result is All Movie Hotel, a 27-room boutique hotel that opened in the summer and completed a complete post-manufacturing facility early this year. Coppola lived and worked here for two years before the release in 2024 Big rockand signs that the space is precisely built on his taste and demands Big rock'The ADR room's knob is produced with stickers that read "FFC" to indicate that its preferred headphone volume is calibrated.

Coppola was both intentional and an accidental hotel operator. In 1993, he bought a hunting hut in Belize a decade ago, when a family was hiding and reinvented it into a luxury resort, Blancaneaux Lodge, open to the public. Coppolas now has 7 hotels under the brand “Coppola Hideaways”, including properties in Guatemala, Argentina and Italy, all of which are in places that have personal significance to them.

In a tree-lined neighborhood about 30 miles from Atlanta, the All-Movie Hotel was Coplas’ first hospitality project in the United States and the first to be designed. The location is 9 miles from the busy Trilith Studios (formerly known as Pinewood Atlanta Studios) Big rock And several Miracle and DC movies, including this summer's movies Thunder* and Superman Movie, made. Entertainment is Georgia's main economic engine, and the entertainment hosts 273 film and television productions in 2024 thanks to a generous tax incentive program of up to 30%.

The all-movie hotel that negotiates production special rates hopes to be a home for some non-local actors and staff to work on these projects. For civilian guests, prices begin at $180 a night for a single queen room and go up to $420 for the Francis Ford Coppola Suite, which comes with the marks of an auteur — a giant cinema screen and projector, velvet upholstered directors chairs — but also some of Coppola's quirky favorites, like a retro-styled three-in-one toaster, coffee maker and griddle that he likes to use to make his breakfast when he's traveling, and some luxe Japanese-style linen robes that were chosen by his wife, Eleanor, a textile collector who died in 2024. There's a Japanese suite, which has an original art piece by Coppola's friend, director Akira Kurosawa, and correspondence between Kurosawa and Ingmar Bergman, casually hanging amid shoji privacy screens and black-and-white photos of Japanese film.

Coppola always brings Eleanor and their three kids to his movie set, the hotel was built to make the family come here too, with the bunk room, children's playroom and Hops planks painted on the floor outside the room.

Along with the living space, the hotel also offers space for film production, such as a stage with blue screens and soundproofing editing kits. Each room, whether it is a post-production space or a sleeping room, is connected via Ethernet, so production members can work in their rooms or in designated workspaces. The remains of hotels from the past have been reused in a clever way – for example, some artworks hung in old rooms have been transformed into soundproof panels in editing kits.

Throughout the hotel, there is a piece that can attract average film roles and Coppola Stans, such as the Golden Eagle Statue from Big rock In the parking lot and godfather Pinball machine and Revelation Now Carpet in the hall. A 30-seat screening room at the hotel is named after Dorothy Arzner, the first female member of the American Association of Directors and one of the Coppola film professors at the UCLA. During a January visit, a poster hung outside the screening room touted Alfred Hitchcock dizzinessSpike Lee's Malcolm X And Coppola's own Rumble fish.

There is also a green room for party and group meals, and more Coppola touches including his favorite Erie espresso machine, glittering water station and a six-burning wolf series godfather. For filmmakers who want to do less in the kitchen, the hotel also offers a private chef.
