The New Hollywood icon continues to express his love of cinema and offers, through his All-Movie Hotel, a unique hotel experience that meets the needs of filmmakers and film enthusiasts.
Since its opening on July 25th, the All-Movie Hotel has been the first of its kind in Peachtree City, Georgia, outside of Atlanta. It was formerly a Days Inn motel. Francis Ford Coppola completely renovated it with post-production in mind. It was also, and perhaps more importantly, in this region that he finished filming Megalopolis, his $120 million self-financed film that he had been developing for over forty years, which premiered at the last Cannes Film Festival and has been playing in French theaters since September 25th.
"I envisioned 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 Palme d'Or awards for The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979) at the opening.
ULTRAMODERAN FACILITIES
This new concept is both a place to stay and a filming location for creating the movies of tomorrow, whether they have a small or big budget. The director of Peggy Sue Got Married, The Outsiders, and The Godfather trilogy fell under the spell of the beauty of the lakes and parks of the small town of Peachtree City, located a few miles from Atlanta and its two international and regional airports. It's an ideal location for film studios, the closest of which is Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, where Marvel movies have been filmed.
This new destination for professionals and lovers of the seventh art offers high-end post-production facilities, namely 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 film, whom he had the pleasure of knowing as a teacher during his film studies at UCLA.
THE MAGIC OF CINEMA
The All-Movie Hotel joins the extensive collection of The Family Coppola Hideaways, which already includes several hotels in Belize, Guatemala, Argentina, and Italy. This is its first property in the United States, offering 27 accommodations renovated and designed by Francis Ford Coppola.
The "Star" suites pay homage to the many actors who have stayed here to enjoy the equipment, privacy, and proximity to the film studios. The Japanese Suite celebrates the history of Japanese cinema with selected film artwork and traditional shoji sliding partitions to create private spaces. As for the Francis Ford Coppola Suite, it's the one where the creator himself resides within his collection of luxury hotels. Beyond its exceptional comfort, with a large sofa and two velvet-upholstered director's chairs in the living room, this spacious room features a large cinema screen with a projector.
The All-Movie Hotel also features a "Green Room" and a communal dining area for "discussing ideas, celebrating milestones, cooking and dining together, or simply enjoying a coffee break." The 85-year-old director completes his hotel marvel with a swimming pool, a gym, and recreational spaces.
