02HOW IT WORKS
How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video, in three steps.
No prompt engineering, no editing skills. The clip supplies the performance; you supply the people.
- 01
Pick a reference clip
Choose Hotel Lobby from the library — the Quavo & Takeoff COLORS booth — or upload any 4–30 second clip of your own. Its motion, camera, cuts and timing are what gets kept.
- 02
Swap in your cast
Add up to 4 people or objects with 1–4 photos each (front-facing, well lit, no sunglasses). Say who stands left, centre or right, or describe it in your own words.
- 03
Generate and post
Videozypher renders a 1080p video the same length as the source, with the original audio kept. Download it, add the sound on TikTok or Reels, and label it as AI.

03THE TREND
What is the Hotel Lobby AI video trend?
The Hotel Lobby AI video is a remake of Quavo & Takeoff's 2022 “Hotel Lobby” performance on A COLORS SHOW: two performers in a matte-orange booth, one black microphone hanging between them, trading verses to a locked-off camera. In September 2026 creators began swapping the two rappers for anyone — friends, couples, pets, TV characters — with AI, while keeping every move, cut and beat of the original.
A pair of cats in the booth set it off on TikTok; an edit with Harvey and Mike from Suits pushed it mainstream, and Quavo reposting the original on 23 September sent it everywhere. Within two weeks the #hotellobbyaitrend tag was closing in on a million posts.
Most versions are made with one-click templates that only do this one clip. Videozypher does the same thing as a general tool: the Hotel Lobby clip is one reference in a library, and the same swap works on any clip you upload.
A word on taste: Takeoff passed away in 2022, so make it about your people — use photos of those who have said yes, keep it kind, and label it as AI when you post.

05PHOTO TIPS
Better photos, better likeness.
- One person per photo — separate shots beat a group photo.
- Front-facing, eyes visible, no sunglasses or hands over the face.
- Even light, sharp focus; 300–6000 px per side.
- The outfit in the photo carries into the video — dress the part.
- Add 2–4 angles of the same person for a tighter likeness.
06FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is the Hotel Lobby AI video trend?
It's the viral remake of Quavo & Takeoff's 2022 "Hotel Lobby" performance on A COLORS SHOW — two people in a matte-orange booth trading verses at one hanging mic. In September 2026 creators started swapping the two performers for anyone (friends, couples, pets, characters) with AI while keeping every move, cut and beat; there are close to a million posts under #hotellobbyaitrend.
How do I make a Hotel Lobby AI video?
In Videozypher, pick the Hotel Lobby clip from the reference library, add a few photos of each person you want in it, choose who stands left and right, and generate. The output keeps the original motion, camera, timing and audio — only the people change. Sign in, and you're dropped straight into the studio with the clip ready.
Do I need to find and upload the original clip?
No. The Hotel Lobby reference is already in the library, alongside other viral and cinematic clips. You can also upload any clip of your own between 4 and 30 seconds — a phone video works.
How many people can I swap in, and which photos work best?
Up to 4 people or objects per video, with 1–4 photos each (9 in total). Use sharp, front-facing, well-lit photos between 300 and 6000 px per side, without sunglasses or hands over the face. Separate photos of each person beat one group shot.
Does it keep the original moves, camera and audio?
Yes. Videozypher is a reference-video studio: the motion, framing, camera path, cuts and timing are taken from the source clip and the audio track is kept by default. It rebuilds only the parts you ask to change.
Can I use a different clip, or swap a product instead of a person?
Yes. Any 4–30 second clip can be the reference, and the cast can be people or objects — a product, a prop, a handbag. Object edits replace the named thing and leave the rest of the shot untouched.
How much does a Hotel Lobby video cost?
Renders are paid with Affogato credits and priced by the source clip's length; the exact credit cost is shown before you generate, and a failed render is refunded. Plans start at $24/month for 2,000 credits, with a commercial license and no watermarks.
Can I post it on TikTok or Instagram?
Yes. Download the 1080p file and post it wherever you like — every plan includes a commercial license. Use photos of people who've agreed to appear, add the official sound in-app if you want the licensed audio, and label the post as AI-generated as the platforms ask.
Is Videozypher like Higgsfield Genjutsu?
It's the same idea — recast a reference video with your own people, products or objects while the motion and camera stay as filmed — built into Affogato, so the result lands in the same workspace as your images, lipsync, voiceovers and 170+ other models.
Same booth. Same moves.
Your people.
Sign in, pick the Hotel Lobby clip, add your photos, generate. You'll be in the studio in under a minute.
