When Francis Ford Coppola spent two years immersed in the welcoming community of Peachtree City while filming Megalopolis, he discovered something extraordinary — a place where creativity and tranquility coexist in perfect harmony. This discovery inspired the creation of The All Movie Hotel, a first-of-its-kind hideaway where the worlds of filmmaking and hospitality intertwine.
“I fell in love with Peachtree City during my two years of residency here,” Coppola shares. “The people, the easy access to nature and peaceful spots via the famed golf cart paths. We created a completely unique place here for filmmakers and film enthusiasts to enjoy, as well as rubbing shoulders with filmmakers in the midst of their work!”
Our intimate 27-room retreat now serves as both a gateway to and an active participant in Georgia’s vibrant film culture. Here, you might enjoy morning espresso alongside working directors or find inspiration while exploring the same natural settings that have captivated countless filmmakers. The All Movie Hotel offers something truly distinctive — the chance to wake where films come to life, with state-of-the-art post-production facilities just steps from your newly renovated accommodation.
Peachtree City’s unique character has made it a sought-after filming location for productions seeking authentic small-town Americana with sophisticated infrastructure. Our city’s distinctive network of over 100 miles of golf cart paths creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else — connecting lakes, forests, and charming neighborhoods in ways that have caught the eye of discerning location scouts.
