The icon of New Hollywood continues to express its love of cinema, and with its All-Movie Hotel, offers an unparalleled hotel experience that caters to the needs of filmmakers and cinephiles alike.
Since opening on July 25, the All-Movie Hotel has been the first of its kind in Peachtree City, Georgia, outside Atlanta. It was formerly a Days Inn motel. Francis Ford Coppola completely renovated it with post-production in mind. It was also in this region that he finished shooting Megalopolis, the $120 million self-financed film he had been working on for over forty years, which was presented at the last Cannes Film Festival and opened in France on September 25.
" I imagined the All-Movie Hotel as a space where filmmakers could truly immerse themselves in the creative process, fostering a collaborative environment that inspires innovation", explained the recipient of two Palmes d'Or for Secret Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979) at the opening.
STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES
This new concept is both a place of hospitality and a shooting location for creating the films of tomorrow, be they low- or high-budget. The director of Peggy Sue got married, Outsiders and The Godfather trilogy fell under the spell of the beauty of the lakes and parks of the small town of Peachtree City, just a few miles from Atlanta and its two international and regional airports. An ideal location for film studios, the closest of which is Trilith Studios, in Fayetteville, where Marvel films have been shot.
This new destination for professionals and lovers of the seventh art offers top-of-the-range post-production facilities, including two editing rooms with laser projection and Meyer Sound 2.1 monitoring, offices, an ADR recording room, a conference room, and a screening room named after Dorothy Arzner - a tribute to one of the few female directors of the golden age of silent films, whom he had the good fortune to know as a teacher during his film studies at UCLA.
CINEMA MAGIC
The All-Movie Hotel joins the rich collection of The Family Coppola Hideaways, which already includes hotels in Belize, Guatemala, Argentina and Italy. This is the hotel's first U.S. property, offering 27 renovated accommodations designed by Francis Ford Coppola.
The Star Suites pay tribute to the many actors who came to stay and enjoy the equipment, privacy and proximity of the film studios. The Japanese Suite celebrates the history of Japanese cinema with selected works of cinematic art and typical shoji sliding partitions to privatize spaces. As for the Francis Ford Coppola Suite, this is where the creator himself resides within his collection of luxury hotels. Beyond comfort, with its large sofa and two velvet-covered director's chairs in the living room, this spacious room features a large cinema screen with projector.
The All-Movie Hotel also offers a "Green room", and a communal dining area for "discussing ideas, celebrating milestones, cooking and dining together, or simply taking a coffee break". The 85-year-old director completes his hotel marvel with a swimming pool, gym and leisure areas.
