Hotel shoot locations… without a hotel! At Fresh Locations, we offer stunning residential ‘dupes’ that bring all the style, scale and polish of a five‑star stay, without the cost, crowds or filming restrictions. Perfect for productions that want that boutique‑hotel vibe minus the hotel hassle.

Finding the perfect hotel shoot location isn’t always easy. Hotels can be expensive, fully booked, and restrictive when it comes to filming. That’s why more production teams are choosing residential alternatives; ‘hotel dupe’ properties that match the look and feel of a boutique hotel, with the flexibility to shoot exactly how you want.

At Fresh Locations, we represent a range of properties that double brilliantly as hotel dupes. From classical townhouses to countryside retreats and design-led homes with spa-style amenities, here are some of our favourites…
