How to Make a Hotel Lobby AI Video

A step-by-step guide to making a Hotel Lobby AI video from two photos — pick a style, generate the orange-booth duet, and post it in minutes.

Two photos and about five minutes. That is genuinely everything a Hotel Lobby AI video takes — no editing software, no footage, no mic. This guide walks the whole path from picking photos to posting the finished duet.

What a Hotel Lobby AI video is

The format is the late-2026 short-video trend: two people in the same bright orange studio booth, trading verses under one hanging microphone. It spread on TikTok, Reels and Shorts as a duet challenge. A Hotel Lobby AI video recreates that exact scene — but instead of filming it, the generator builds it from two ordinary photos of the performers.

Step 1 — Choose two clear, front-facing photos

One photo per performer. The model reads identity from faces, so:

Front-facing, eyes visible, not heavily filtered
Even lighting beats dramatic shadows
One person per photo — group shots confuse the scene

Any common format works (JPG, PNG, WebP). You keep the rights to your photos, and the people in them should agree to appear in the video — that rule is part of our Terms.

Step 2 — Pick a style preset

Four presets act as ready-made templates:

Classic — the signature orange booth, hip-hop duet energy
Couple — a closer, R&B-style duet for two
Friends — pop-punk chaos, wider framing
Anime — the same booth redrawn as 2D animation

Then choose duration (5 or 10 seconds) and resolution (480p or 720p). The studio shows the exact credit cost before you confirm.

Step 3 — Generate and wait ~5 minutes

Sign in, confirm, and the task runs on its own. Most videos finish in around five minutes. You can close the tab — the finished video waits in your history, and a failed generation refunds its credits automatically.

Step 4 — Review and post

Watch it once before posting. If the likeness or lip-sync feels off, regenerate with a clearer photo. When it's right, download the MP4 and post it — vertical format drops straight into TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

What it costs

Payments are one-time credit packs — no subscription, no auto-renewal. The Single pack (50 credits, $9.90) covers about five 480p / 5-second clips. Credits never expire. Full pricing is on the pricing page.
