Hotel Lobby AI

What is Hotel Lobby AI?

Hotel Lobby AI is a web-based AI video generator for the "Hotel Lobby" duet trend: two people on opposite sides of one hanging microphone in an orange recording booth. You upload two portrait photos, and the site composes both people into the booth and generates a short vertical video with the reference performance and audio carried over.

The trend originates from a 2022 COLORS performance of the song "Hotel Lobby" by Quavo and Takeoff. According to the site, creators began swapping the performers for friends, couples, family members and others using AI video tools in September 2026.

How to use Hotel Lobby AI?

1. Choose one clear portrait for each side, person A on the left and person B on the right.
2. Select the framing (classic or full body) and the video length, 8 seconds or 15 seconds.
3. Optionally add a short styling note about outfits, accessories or expressions.
4. Confirm that you have permission to use the photos and that any person under 18 pictured is your child or ward.
5. Sign in, generate the video, and review it before sharing. The site says a finished video takes about 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips for better results

The site recommends sharp portraits with full faces, similar lighting and perspective, and no heavy filters, sunglasses or cropped faces. It suggests describing one short exchange, such as a lead, a reaction and a handoff, and checking the first take for faces, hands, the center microphone and left-right placement. Results vary with the model and the photos.

Frequently asked questions about Hotel Lobby AI

What happens to my photos?

The site says the two photos are resized in your browser and sent to its AI provider only when you press Generate. They are not uploaded earlier.

Yes, provided you have permission from everyone pictured and, for a child, you are the parent or legal guardian. The site also advises identifying the result as AI-generated when you share it.
