Put Yourselves in the Booth

Recreate the viral hotel lobby AI trend with your own faces — or your pets. Two leads step into a flat orange booth, share the one hanging microphone, and trade bars until the handoff. Purupuru Maker is a good fit when you want to:

  • Star as lead one — your photo guides the screen-left performer through every shot.
  • Cast a partner, friend, or family member as lead two with a second photo — or run Twin Mode and play both sides yourself.
  • Put your cat or dog on stage — the Cats and Dogs casts stand your pet upright in tiny streetwear, just like the meme's famous animal versions.

This creates a new AI-generated homage to the trend's orange booth scene. The original performance footage and its song are not included. Results vary with your photos and the AI generation.

What is the hotel lobby AI trend? It's a viral AI video format that took over TikTok in September 2026: AI places any two faces — friends, couples, celebrities, cats — into the famous one-take performance of "Hotel Lobby" by Quavo and Takeoff, with its flat orange backdrop and single hanging microphone. To make your own, upload one or two photos and Purupuru Maker generates a new 12-second performance as a landscape MP4 in a few minutes (80 credits).

The template

The Scene Your Photos Become

Every video follows the same three-shot performance storyboard — told in one continuous render inside the orange booth:

  1. 1

    The walk-in

    Wide two-shot: both leads step in on the beat, shoulders bouncing, and size each other up with playful grins — then both reach for the single microphone hanging between them.

  2. 2

    Trading bars

    Lead one pulls the mic in and lip-syncs a bar, pointing at the camera. A quick cut to lead two, who answers with a bounce and a comeback, palms up. The energy rises.

  3. 3

    The handoff

    The meme's signature beat: lead one swings the mic across, lead two leans in for the final line, and both turn to the camera — a point at the lens, both arms up. Freeze on the pose.

The look is the format's signature: a flat saturated orange backdrop, soft studio light, and one microphone on a cable from above — an homage to the famous one-take set the meme circulates with. The scene is generated from scratch around your photos; camera work, lip-sync, and cut timing are generated inside one 12-second video, and results can vary.

Step by step

How to Make a Hotel Lobby AI Video

  1. 1

    Upload lead one

    A front-facing portrait — yourself, a partner, a friend, or your pet (JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 20 MB). This photo plays the screen-left performer. Upload order sets the stage: first photo left, second photo right.

  2. 2

    Pick your cast

    Choose Two people, Cats, or Dogs. Add a second photo to cast lead two — or skip it for Twin Mode, where the same performer plays both sides of the duet.

  3. 3

    Generate the performance

    The three-shot storyboard — walk-in, traded bars, mic handoff — is rendered in one pass. No prompt writing or scene selection is needed.

  4. 4

    Add the sound and post

    Get a 12-second landscape MP4 (16:9, 720p) for 80 credits in a few minutes, watermark-free. The clip ships silent — attach the official Hotel Lobby sound in TikTok or Reels when you post.

Make it yours

Three Ways to Play the Trend

The classic version casts two people — but the internet didn't stop there, and neither did this generator:

  1. 1

    The duo

    Two photos, screen-left and screen-right. Best friends, couples, siblings, coworkers — the format was built for pairs with playful chemistry.

  2. 2

    Twin Mode — one photo, both sides

    Skip the second photo and the same performer appears on both sides: identical face and outfit, a mirrored duet. Oddly hypnotic, and the fastest way in if you'd rather not volunteer a friend.

  3. 3

    The pet takeover

    Some of the trend's biggest early hits were cats. The Cats and Dogs casts stand your pet upright in tiny streetwear and let them run the whole performance — one pet photo works via Twin Mode too.

The sound

One Clip, the Official Sound

The trend's audio is the original “Hotel Lobby” by Quavo & Takeoff — the duo's famous 2022 one-take COLORS-style performance in the orange booth is the clip everyone is being placed into. When the AI versions took off in September 2026, the recording saw a massive streaming surge, and Quavo himself co-signed the moment by reposting the original performance.

Purupuru Maker's clips ship silent on purpose: that recording is licensed music, and we don't bake it into downloads. The posting flow is the trend's own anyway — videos made with the official TikTok sound get discovered through it:

  1. Post your clip, tap Add sound, and search “Hotel Lobby Quavo Takeoff”.
  2. Attach the official audio and line the mic handoff up with your favorite bar.
  3. Add an AI-generated label before you share.

Purupuru Maker is an independent fan tool and is not affiliated with Quavo, Takeoff, their labels, or COLORS. Takeoff passed away in 2022 — join the trend with the playfulness it's known for, and read our note on responsible posting below.

Photo tips

Photos That Hold the Stage

Works best: a clear, front-facing, well-lit photo with one subject per photo — face unobstructed, natural expression, JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 20 MB. For pets, a straight-on photo of the face beats a lying-down pose, and distinctive fur markings help the likeness read on stage.

Avoid: sunglasses or masks, heavy beauty filters, group photos, low-light shots, and photos of children — both leads should be adults who consented to appear. Upload order sets the stage position: first photo screen-left, second screen-right.

Good practice

Post It Honestly

Label your video as AI-generated — TikTok and Instagram both provide AI-content labels, and this trend spreads on the “wait, that's AI?” reaction. Don't animate people without their permission, don't impersonate real artists with generated likenesses, and only upload photos you own or are allowed to use. The trend honors a performance by Quavo & Takeoff — keep it playful and respectful of Takeoff's memory. Uploads are checked for unsafe content. See our Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Policy.

Generations that trigger a safety review may still use credits — this is stated before you confirm each generation.

FAQ

Hotel Lobby AI Video Generator FAQ

Which AI tool can make a hotel lobby AI video?+
Purupuru Maker offers an online hotel lobby AI video generator. Upload one or two photos, pick a cast — two people, cats, or dogs — and it generates a 12-second performance clip: two leads trading bars under a single hanging microphone in a flat orange booth. No prompt writing is required.
What is the hotel lobby AI trend?+
It's a viral AI video format that took over TikTok in September 2026: people use AI to place themselves (or their pets, or famous pairings) into the famous one-take orange-booth performance of "Hotel Lobby" — the 2022 COLORS-style set by Quavo and Takeoff. The original performance saw a massive streaming surge, and the AI versions keep the two-performer framing, the hanging microphone, and the flat colored backdrop.
How do I make a hotel lobby AI video?+
Upload a photo for the screen-left lead, optionally add a second photo for screen-right, choose your cast, and generate — Purupuru Maker turns your photos into a 12-second landscape MP4 with the three-shot performance storyboard. Each video costs 80 credits and typically takes just a few minutes. The scene, choreography, and camera work are built in — no prompt writing needed.
Can I make it with just one photo?+
Yes — that's Twin Mode. Skip the second photo and the same performer plays both sides of the duet: identical face, hairstyle, and outfit on screen-left and screen-right, like a mirrored duo. It's a fun variant in its own right, and it lowers the barrier if you'd rather not ask a friend for a photo.
Can I use my cat or dog in the video?+
Yes — the Hotel Lobby generator has Cats and Dogs casts built in. Upload one or two pet photos and the AI stands them upright on their hind legs in tiny streetwear, performing the duet just like the meme's famous cat versions. Use a clear, well-lit photo where your pet's face and fur are easy to see.
Is the hotel lobby generator free?+
Generating a video requires 80 credits and a Purupuru Maker account. A one-time Starter credit pack costs $9.99 and includes 100 credits. No recurring subscription is required. Failed generations are refunded; safety-review rejections still use credits.
How long is the video and what quality is it?+
Each generation is a single 12-second render in 720p, 16:9 landscape MP4. All three shots — the walk-in, the traded verses, and the microphone handoff — are generated inside that one video, not stitched from separate clips.
Does the video include the song?+
No — the clip is silent on purpose. The audio the trend rides is a copyrighted recording, and Purupuru Maker doesn't license it into downloads. When you post, tap Add sound in TikTok or Reels and search "Hotel Lobby Quavo Takeoff" to attach the official audio, then line your clip up so the microphone handoff lands on your favorite bar.
Does it use the original performance footage?+
No. Purupuru Maker generates a brand-new orange-booth scene from your photos — a homage to the famous set, not a deepfake onto the source clip. The original performers' likenesses are never used, and the video you download contains only AI-generated imagery of the people (or pets) in your photos.
Which photos work best?+
Clear, front-facing, well-lit photos with one subject per photo — JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 20 MB. Avoid sunglasses, masks, heavy filters, and group photos. Upload order sets the stage position: the first photo plays screen-left, the second screen-right. For pets, a straight-on photo of the face works better than a lying-down pose.
Can I post it on TikTok and Instagram Reels?+
Yes — attach the official Hotel Lobby sound when you post and label your video as AI-generated (TikTok and Instagram both provide AI-content labels). Only upload photos you own or have permission to use, don't cast real people without asking them, and keep the format playful: the trend is a homage to a performance by Quavo and Takeoff — Takeoff passed away in 2022, so posts that mock the artists rather than join the fun tend to draw rightful criticism.
What happens to my photos?+
Uploaded photos are stored for AI generation, checked for unsafe content, and handled under our Privacy Policy. Generations that trigger a safety review may still use credits — this is stated before you confirm each generation.
