Warren Trent (Melvyn Douglas) may own a hotel that's the epitome of luxury, but the accounting books tell a different story. The St. Gregory Hotel is pretty much flat broke. To prevent a corporate takeover, Trent pins his hopes on the ingenuity of hotel manager Peter McDermott (Rod Taylor). But a revolving door of zany guests -- including a drunk-driving Duke of Lanbourne (Michael Rennie) and an intrepid thief named Keycase (Karl Malden) -- makes that a challenging task.

Uniformly strong performances, scripting and direction make for good pacing. Go to Full Review Bosley Crowther New York Times 05/09/2005
Hotel is colorful and crafty. It is entertaining without being at all profound. Now if only Greta Garbo had shown up, we might have had a grand reunion in New Orleans. Go to Full Review Bruce Williamson LIFE 05/13/2024
[It's] Hollywood formula but premium grade. Here, the play's the thing that keeps the viewer glued to his chair, and the shallowness of the characters encountered seems precisely analogous to the differences between dinner for two and drinks for 20.

a gratifying film to watch on a rainy day. If you don't have any high expectations you'll be pleasantly surprised. It has it's flaws. It's terribly old-fashioned but that's what I liked about it. Go to Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide 11/19/2018

The Arthur Hailey novel was vastly improved upon by the film, which was a cut above average, but no more. Go to Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press 11/19/2018
There are good performances from actors who know their trade and work at it, lively direction and a good enough story to keep audiences occupied. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/01/2021 So 1967! The "Money vs. soul" dilemma, stealing, bribery, sex, racism, etc - under one hotel roof! Back then, middle America did not stay at big hotels in tourist spots (no Priceline!), and they could only visit this glamorous world via movies! This led to Airport - and then that led to disaster movies...great American history lesson here! See more s r @ScottR 01/19/2021 Almost good. I enjoyed the New Orleans setting and the whole running of the hotel. The plot kind of fizzled in the second half. Saw it on TCM. See more 02/27/2020 Wonderfully dated today but a more than enjoyable flick back in the day. Big chain hotel company looking to buy a busy independent hotel, not unlike today's industry norm. The movie was the reason I first got interested in the hotel business. I do, however, miss the hats and the more formal look of yesterday's travelers. See more 05/25/2018 way better than i expected it would be - some cool glitzy jazz too See more 06/20/2014 gr8 cast brings this popular book by arthur halley to the big screen it even spun-off a TV series. See more 07/19/2011 Glitzy and overdone with too many plotlines but still enjoyable in a soap operaish way. Good cast do what they can with unchallenging roles, Merle Oberon is decked out in some great outfits and gravity defying hair! And any hotel lucky enough to have Carmen McRae as their lounge singer is some place worth checking in to. See more Read all reviews
