A boutique hotel, anthropomorphized through a woman’s voice, introduces itself in the form of a personal ad. It tries to seduce us with its sophisticated accent, interests in single origin coffee, and closeness to the city center. All the while, we visually tour the hotel’s amenities with calculated cinematography inspired by director Jacques Tati, ending with the message that Hotels.com can help you find your perfect somewhere.

The films borrow the form of the “personal ad,” which are advertisements usually placed in newspapers or websites by individuals who are in search of friendship or a romantic partner.
