The trend

What is the Hotel Lobby AI trend?

The Hotel Lobby AI trend is a short vertical video in which two people stand in a bright orange booth and take turns rapping into a single microphone hanging between them. One leans in and delivers a couple of lines while the other nods along, then they swap. The whole thing lasts a few seconds and reads instantly on a phone screen.

The look comes from Quavo and Takeoff's 2022 COLORS performance of their song "Hotel Lobby": a plain, saturated backdrop, one mic, two rappers feeding off each other. In September 2026 people started using AI video models to drop their own duos into that setting, and the format spread across TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts as the "Hotel Lobby AI" trend.

The joke works because anyone can be the duo: best friends, a couple, you and your dad, two coworkers. RapVideo AI makes that version for you in two ways. Original remake keeps the real Hotel Lobby song and moves and puts your faces on the two rappers. New song writes an original rap and beat, generates both voices and renders the two of you lip-synced on the stage you pick.

How to

How to make a Hotel Lobby AI video in 3 steps

No filming, no green screen, no prompt writing. You can do the whole thing from your phone's browser in a few minutes.

  1. 1

    Add two photos

    Choose "Two photos" and add one clear photo of each person. They don't have to be taken together or in the same place. If you only have a shot of the two of you side by side, switch to "One photo of both".

  2. 2

    Keep the Hotel Lobby (orange) stage

    Hotel Lobby (orange) is the trend look and it's selected by default. Type a topic if you want, such as "Sam's 30th birthday" or "we never reply to the group chat", up to 120 characters. Leave it empty for a general hype verse about the two of you.

  3. 3

    Render, download, post

    Your video is ready in about 2–3 minutes, 12 seconds long by default and vertical 9:16. Download the HD MP4 without a watermark and post it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

Photo tips

Photos that make a better Hotel Lobby AI video

The model keeps each person's face, hair and outfit from the photo you give it. A better photo means a more recognizable duo.

One clear face per photo

Front-facing, eyes visible, no sunglasses, masks or heavy beauty filters. Crop out other people in the background.

Good, even light

Daylight or a bright room works best. Dark, backlit or blurry shots make faces drift between frames.

Half-body or full-body

The booth is shot wide, so photos that show shoulders and outfit look more natural than tight face crops.

Separate photos beat a group shot

Two individual photos keep the faces apart. Use "One photo of both" only when the two of you are clearly side by side.

Duo ideas

Who to put in the orange booth

The best Hotel Lobby AI videos are about the pairing. Pick a duo, add a one-line topic and let the rap do the rest.

You and your best friend

The classic. Topic idea: how long you've known each other, or the one trip you still talk about.

Make this one

You and your partner

A playful anniversary duet. One photo of you both works if that's all you have.

Make this one

Dad and you

Put your dad on the mic next to you. Topic idea: his grilling skills, or his terrible jokes. Big reaction in the family chat.

Make this one

Pets and characters

Your own pet, or an original character you created. Only use images you have the rights to, and never a real person who didn't agree.

FAQ

Hotel Lobby AI video FAQ

How do I make a Hotel Lobby AI video?

Choose "Two photos", add one photo of each person, keep the default Hotel Lobby (orange) stage and tap the make button. Optionally type a topic first. The video is ready in about 2–3 minutes.

Is it the real Hotel Lobby song?

Yes, if you pick Original remake: it uses the real Hotel Lobby recording and choreography (14 seconds) with your faces. If you pick New song, you get a newly written rap and beat in a similar style, with AI voices that aren't cloned from any artist. RapVideo AI is independent, not affiliated with Migos, Quavo, Takeoff, Offset, COLORS or the song's rights holders.

Can I make a Hotel Lobby AI video for free?

Not the full video. A standard 12-second, 720p video is 10 credits, and a failed render is never charged.

Do the two photos need to be taken together?

No. That's the point of "Two photos" mode: your friend can be in another city. If you already have one good photo of the two of you, choose "One photo of both" instead.

Can I use a pet or a cartoon character?

You can use a photo of your own pet or an original character you own. Don't upload photos of real people who haven't agreed to be in the video, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian's consent.

What are the rap lyrics about?

Whatever you type in the topic box, up to 120 characters. The rap follows the language of your topic, so a topic in Spanish gets a Spanish rap. With no topic, you get a general hype verse about the duo.

Can I post it on TikTok or Instagram?

Yes. Paid videos download as HD MP4s without a watermark. Pick 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 1:1 and 16:9 for other feeds. New song videos use original AI music, so the audio won't match a copyrighted track. Original remake videos use the real Hotel Lobby recording, so platforms may mute, limit or remove them, and you're responsible for how you share them.

Can I choose a stage other than the orange booth?

Yes. Besides Hotel Lobby (orange) there's Luxury Lobby and Studio Booth. You can also make a solo video from one photo. See all options on the AI rap video generator home page.

Put your duo in the orange booth

Two photos in, a Hotel Lobby AI video out, in about three minutes. 10 credits for a standard song.
