Grand Hotel Fit For A Queen

January 27, 2006 at 9:45 AM | by | Comments (0)

Grand hotels in Europe are only different from American hotels in that they look like castles and have historic famous guests. You know like Bach, Richard Wagner, Antonin Dvorak, and Newark, N.J.'s very own Queen Latifah.

The Queen (along with Gerard Depardieu) stayed in the 300-year-old Grandhotel Pupp (pronounced "poop"... no comments necessary) just outside of Prague in the Czech Republic, last winter for the filming of Last Holiday.

The hotel is meant to look like a fairy-tale castle, and according to the director Wayne Wang, it took some Hollywood magic to create that.

It is definitely not like it is in the movie. We definitely dressed it up and did a lot of work to it.

It must have worked because despite a fluffy plotline and Queen Latifah's previous box office disappointments (Taxi, Beauty Shop, etc.), the film finished in fourth place last week.
