If you’ve ever wanted to stay in style and sleep at the same hotel featured in your favourite movie, whether that be Lost in Translation in Tokyo or The Devil Wears Prada in New York City, then it’s never really been easier.
Imagine staying in the same room that was once graced by your favourite Hollywood celebrity?

(Or you could just stay in their homes – like, literally.)
