The trend

What is the Hotel Lobby AI trend?

The trend comes from Quavo and Takeoff performing "Hotel Lobby" on A COLORS SHOW in 2022: two rappers, two microphones hanging from the ceiling, and a bright orange booth. In September 2026 AI edits of that performance took off on TikTok, with friends, couples, grandparents and pets swapped into the booth.

This generator makes that video from two ordinary selfies. Each person gets their own mic, the AI writes and performs an original rap around your topic, and the result is a vertical 12-second clip sized for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

The song is original, not the copyrighted "Hotel Lobby" track, so platforms have nothing to mute. The photos do not need to be taken together: friends in different cities can still share the booth.

Three steps

How it works

  1. 01

    Add two selfies

    One clear, front-facing photo per person. They can be taken in different places.

  2. 02

    Pick the stage and topic

    Keep the orange Hotel Lobby booth or switch stages. Add a name and one detail so the lyrics are about you.

  3. 03

    Download and post

    The render takes a few minutes. Download the MP4 without a watermark and post it with #hotellobby.

Stages

Four stages to choose from

Hotel Lobby (orange)

The classic trend look: seamless tangerine walls and one silver mic hanging from the ceiling between you.

Luxury Lobby

A grand hotel lobby at night: polished marble, brass details and a crystal chandelier.

Studio Booth

A dark recording booth with acoustic foam, two condenser mics and a red neon strip.

Street Cypher

A city street corner at dusk: brick walls, wet asphalt, street lights coming on.

Ideas

Who to make it with

Best friends

Turn years of inside jokes into one verse each. Works even if you live in different cities.

Couples

A rap duet with your partner is a surprisingly sweet anniversary post.

Birthday surprise

Put the birthday person on stage and make the topic their most famous habit.

Small business promo

Two owners, one line about what you sell: an original rap ad for your shop.

Photo tips

Photos that work best

  • Face the camera, eyes visible, good daylight.

How do I make the Hotel Lobby AI video?

Upload one selfie for each rapper, keep the orange Hotel Lobby stage, optionally type a topic, and tap Generate. The video is ready in a few minutes.

Is there a Hotel Lobby AI filter or app?

There is no live camera filter: the videos in the trend are generated from photos. This page works in any mobile or desktop browser, so there is nothing to install.

How much does it cost?

A standard 720p, 12-second video is 300 credits; the Seedance 2.5 Ultra render is 700. Credit packs start at $9.90 for 700 credits, are one-time payments and never expire.

What if a render fails?

If the AI errors out or a safety filter blocks the video, the credits go straight back to your balance. You only pay for videos that finish.

Is the song copyrighted?

No. The lyrics, vocals and beat are generated for your video, so it does not use the original "Hotel Lobby" recording.

Do the two photos need to be taken together?

No. Each photo should show one person. The AI places both people side by side in the booth.

What language is the rap in?

English on the English site and Mandarin on the Chinese site. If your topic is written in Chinese, the rap is in Mandarin.

Can I use photos of other people?

Only with their permission. Do not upload photos of minors without a guardian, and do not use celebrity photos or make videos meant to deceive or harass anyone.
