What is the Hotel Lobby trend?

The Hotel Lobby trend is a TikTok duo trend built on a 2022 A COLORS SHOW performance of the song "Hotel Lobby", filmed in a bright orange studio with one hanging microphone. It took off on TikTok in mid-September 2026, when people started recreating the clip with a friend, a partner or a pet. AiRap.me's Hotel Lobby AI video generator is an online tool that swaps two of your photos into that 15-second clip, so you can do the trend without filming, editing or a CapCut template.

This is not a camera filter: you never stand in front of a camera. You upload one photo for the left performer and one for the right, and the video comes out in landscape (16:9), like the original clip. The video is ready in about 2 to 3 minutes as an MP4 with no watermark. Each photo needs exactly one clear face; group photos are not supported.

Which photos work for the Hotel Lobby AI video

Each photo replaces one performer, so it needs exactly one subject with a face the AI can see. Every upload is checked before the video starts.

Photos that work

Good photo: one adult man facing the camera — One adult

Good photo: one golden retriever with its face visible — A pet

Good photo: one anime-style character — A character

Good photo: one man in zombie makeup — Costume or makeup

A photo of one adult with a clear face, from a selfie to an ID-style portrait.
A pet or any other animal, such as a dog, a cat or a parrot.
A cartoon, anime, 3D, game or toy character, including drawn child characters.
People in costumes, masks or horror makeup.
Any mix across the two slots, such as you on the left and your dog on the right.
JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 10 MB.

Photos we can't use

Photo that fails: three friends in one group photo — Group photo

Photo that fails: a beach with no person in it — No subject

Photo that fails: a blurry, dark photo where the face cannot be seen — Blurry or dark

Photo that fails: sunglasses and a hand covering the face — Face covered

Photos of real children: for safety, photographed people who are clearly under 16 are refused.
Group photos with two or more people, pets or characters as the subject; small people in the background are fine.
Landscapes, objects, food, text or screenshots with no person, animal or character in them.
Faces that are too blurry, too dark, too small, covered or turned away from the camera.
Nudity, sexual content or real graphic violence.

A photo that fails the check is marked on its slot with the reason, and no credits are used until both photos pass.

How to do the Hotel Lobby trend with AI

You only need two photos and about 2–4 minutes to put yourself and a friend into the trend, with no camera, editing app or template to learn.

Hotel Lobby AI video FAQ

Answers to the questions people ask most before they make a Hotel Lobby AI video, from cost and photos to privacy.

See packs and plans

How do I do the Hotel Lobby trend on TikTok?

Make the video here, download the MP4 and upload it to TikTok like any other video. The original sound is already in the clip, so you do not need to add music.

How is this different from a CapCut Hotel Lobby template?

A CapCut template runs inside the CapCut app. Here you upload two photos in your browser and the AI swaps both faces into the original 15-second performance, keeping its moves and its sound, with nothing to install or edit.

Can I use one photo or a group photo?

No. This template needs two separate photos with one subject each, one for each performer. For a solo rap video from one photo, use the generator on the AiRap.me homepage.

Can I use pets or cartoon characters?

Yes. Animals and drawn, anime or 3D characters work and keep their own look, and you can mix a person with a pet or a character. Photos of real children are refused.

What happens to my photos?

Your photos and videos stay private to your account. They are never posted, shared with other users or used to train AI models.

Read the privacy policy

Is the Hotel Lobby AI video affiliated with the artists?

No. This is an independent AI tool and is not affiliated with the artists, COLORS or any record label. The template recreates a public trend for fun and personal sharing.

Will my Hotel Lobby video be muted on TikTok or YouTube?

It can be. The video keeps the original song from the clip, so TikTok, Instagram and YouTube apply their own music rules: most allow it in posts, but some may mute the sound or add a copyright claim, especially on YouTube. Trend videos are for personal, non-commercial sharing, not for ads or paid promotion.
