Angelina Jolie has been spotted as a guest at Waldorf Astoria Orlando, bringing a Hollywood name to the resort's quieter corner of Walt Disney World. The appeal lies in that contrast: theme-park energy remains close, but the hotel offers pools, golf and spacious rooms as a more composed retreat. It is an easy place for a famous family to balance adventure with time away from the crowds.

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro stayed at the Hawthorne Hotel while filming Joy in 2015, turning the Salem landmark into an off-camera base for the production. The connection adds a contemporary film chapter to a hotel already rich in New England character. Its historic atmosphere and central setting make the stay feel rooted in place rather than arranged around anonymous luxury.
$307
The Plaza turns Fifth Avenue into a world of chandeliers, grand staircases and private residential life. The Beatles occupied an entire wing during their first American visit, while decades later Tommy Hilfiger made the landmark his home in an exuberant penthouse duplex high above Central Park South.
$274
Ben Affleck is among the notable guests welcomed by The Charles Hotel in Cambridge. The connection fits a property that offers a discreet alternative to downtown Boston, with Harvard Square immediately outside and the Charles River nearby. Its luxury is measured rather than theatrical—the kind of place where a public figure can settle into the neighborhood without making the hotel itself the event.
$273
Lady Gaga opened Enigma at the theatre inside Park MGM in December 2018, while Usher later completed a major residency of his own. These are performance stories rather than overnight stays, but they define the property's celebrity character. A room here places guests inside Las Vegas entertainment culture, with the stage, restaurants and Strip energy all part of the same evening.
$254
Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino turns the Las Vegas Strip into a grand stage of fountains, marble and larger-than-life entertainment. Kelly Clarkson brought her Studio Sessions residency to The Colosseum here, adding a fresh pop chapter to a resort long synonymous with headline glamour. Beyond the marquee, guests find lavish pools, destination dining and the theatrical sense that every arrival deserves an entrance.
$189
Hotel Fort Des Moines feels like a polished time capsule: restored classical details, a hushed library and handsome rooms within the revived 1919 landmark. Elvis Presley slept here before taking the stage, and the hotel's pink penthouse toilet later became a wonderfully eccentric relic of the King's passage through Iowa.
$170
Leonardo DiCaprio has partied in the Redwood Room at The Clift, placing the hotel's famous bar inside San Francisco's celebrity nightlife. This is an event story rather than an overnight stay, but it reveals the property's strongest character. Dark wood, dramatic scale and a Union Square address give the hotel an after-hours mood that feels designed for a discreet entrance.
$137
Alyssa Milano partied with Justin Timberlake in the Hardwood Suite at The Palms, one of the resort's most extravagant Las Vegas settings. The visit was an event rather than a overnight stay, but it belongs naturally to the hotel's history. Art, music and fantasy suites give The Palms a more rebellious celebrity character than the Strip's traditional grand resorts.
Baccarat Hotel New York feels less like a conventional Midtown tower than a jewel box hidden behind glass. Crystal chandeliers, deep red accents and hushed salons create a theatrical privacy, while the subterranean pool and Spa de La Mer turn a city weekend into a private retreat. It was a fitting base for Serena Williams’s bachelorette celebrations: polished, playful and unapologetically glamorous, just steps from Fifth Avenue.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas recasts classic resort glamour in a cobalt-blue tower, pairing expansive Strip views with a six-acre pool deck, serious dining and a casino built for spectacle. Kim Kardashian was among the marquee guests who arrived for its long-awaited 2023 grand opening, joining a crowd that explored the new restaurants before the night moved into headline performances. Her presence belongs to the opening event, but it captures exactly what the hotel set out to be: polished, theatrical and impossible to ignore.
Beverly Wilshire sits at Rodeo Drive with the grand confidence of a Hollywood institution. During his 1970s separation from Yoko Ono, John Lennon made the hotel his Los Angeles home for months, following in the footsteps of his musical hero Elvis Presley and giving the polished address a distinctly rock-and-roll chapter.
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas offers a rare kind of Strip glamour: a quiet, non-gaming retreat with private-pool calm, discreet service and high-floor views, while the spectacle of Mandalay Bay sits moments away. Brad Pitt stayed here with Angelina Jolie and their family for his 48th-birthday trip in December 2011. The appeal is polished rather than theatrical—a serene address for stars who want Las Vegas energy outside and an elegant escape behind the doors.
The West Hollywood EDITION rises above Sunset Boulevard with quiet oak-lined rooms, a glowing rooftop pool and nightlife tucked beneath its polished lobby. Leonardo DiCaprio joined the hotel’s star-packed 2019 opening celebration, arriving for the late-night party alongside a crowd drawn from Hollywood, fashion and music. It remains an effortlessly cinematic Los Angeles base—equal parts private retreat and after-dark address, with the skyline shimmering beyond the roof.
